M41.37 Haxan Front: Establish/Repel - 40K Scenario

 

Haxan Secundus, an unassuming world in the Sclotan Sector, part of the wider defensive border worlds in this area. Mainly arid, although with large expanses of waters and tributaries, meaning growth, scrub and settlements are not uncommonly found.

M41.37 finds locale governances in shock as an Iron Warriors fleet, archivally recorded as "Iron Scorn" Traitoris war grouping suddenly appears in local space and makes rapid planetfall, sending multiple splinter groups to a variety of on world locations.

First to find themselves under rapid assault are the garrison station at Interzone Port Hope. For them, it is a case of holding until relived, with an ace up their sleeve..........Secundus is a recruiting world for the Imperial Fists, and as such, the Astropaths have been able to send for aid, and receive confirmation, prior to commscrambling by the associated Heretek Adepts accompanying the Traitors.

Whether this was unknown to the Iron Warriors, or a deliberate ploy to antagonise and confront their hated brethren, is hard to say.
