Over 500 years ago, a small but well populated sector of space
in Segmentum Ultima classified as G0135TYK was cut off from the rest of the Imperium by a
violent, localised Warp storm. Over the years several attempts have been made to penetrate
the storm. None have ever returned and the sector has remained isolated. Now as suddenly
as they appeared the warpstorms have abated. The High Lords of Terra immediately ordered a
crusade into the sector to once again draw the worlds lost to them back into the Imperial
fold.
Mantra VIII is the first world to be reclaimed by the crusade. Once
a highly productive civilised world it has become infested by Orks and is also a known
base of operations for Eldar pirate raids.
The campaign on this world will centre around 7 key strategic
locations.
SMOKEY CITY
This is the capital of the world. It is the administrative,
political and cultural heart of the planet and as such is vital to the overall success of
the campaign. |
WITHERING HEIGHTS
A vast mountain range that divides the industrial heart of the
continent with the remaining areas. Vital supplies of fuel and equipment must travel
through the passes of this inhospitable area. |
PORT EARSLEY
The only space port on the planet. Control of this will enable
overwhelming numbers to be deployed on the planet and so make crushing all resistance a
formality. |
THE VIRGIN PLAINS
The one area of the planet where travel and movement of troops is
easy. Control of this area will severely limit the enemy’s ability to respond quickly
to threats against them. It is also the main food producing area and so vital to the long
term health of the native population. |
THE LOST SHRINE
Whilst of little tactical significance, the rediscovery of this
holy temple, lost in the midst of impenetrable jungle, is of the greatest moral
significance. It will once again establish a base for the re-doctrination of the local
population once the enemy is defeated. |
INDUSTRIAL PARK
This is where most of the planets equipment is produced and fuel is
refined. To capture and control this area is to deny the enemy the ability to wage war. |
| KITOMER KNOLL This coastal island has been abandoned for more
than a century. Rumors of an experiment gone wrong, of lost technology, of immense power,
are all whispered about in the local bars an taverns. Many have sort this power, none have
returned....... |
