Campaign Introduction

Here we go, some background on our upcoming campaign.

On the edge of Tau controlled space sits a cluster of four planets. Many years ago these planets were the battleground of a bloody war between the Dark Eldar and the Raven Guard Space Marine Chapter. The war lasted 4 long years before the Raven Guard companies were destroyed by the seemingly endless number of xenos. Following the conflict, the Dark Eldar left the worlds in pursuit of their next victim.

Idling uninhabited for many years, the Tau now believe that they are entitled to these planets due to their proximity of their growing Empire. Commander O'Ren'Va is placed in charge of claiming these four worlds in the name of the Greater Good, starting with the closest planet, Cardea Valdis. However, it would seem they are not the only ones interested in Cardea. The Salamanders have reason to believe that one of Vulkan's lost relics is located on the planet and have mobilized their forces under Brother Captain T'Sen in an effort to retrieve it. Far from this system, an Ulthwe Eldar Farseer has received mysterious visions encouraging them to destroy both the Tau and the Space Marines. Three mighty armies will soon make planetfall on Cardea Valdis, but who shall lay claim to the world?
