Warhammer 40K Campaign

Phase 1
Summerfall - Agricultural Planet VIILMC III

A nondescript agricultural planet on the outer rim has gone silent, about three weeks ago, a large repopulating ship, the "Endeavor" was scheduled to arrive with 25,000 new settler's and the equipment and supplies to expand the existing agricultural base, the ship was not reported to arrive, more disturbingly, the Imperial Moon Base in orbit of the planet Outpost Z-Tak-Beta Epsilon 23 reported its passing through scan-net en route to the planet, though failed to check in.

That was the last communication from z-tak-be 23 or the planet, and "The Mephisto" the Space Marine "Fury chapter" was sent to investigate, as well as Sisters of Battle.

The Colony ship had experienced a warp incident, and the ship was infected with Tyranids during the Deep warp disturbance. Within a few hours the 25000 colonists were dead, and the ship crashed into the surface of the planet.

Responding to the Threat, the Tau, keenly launch a scouting mission from their secret location on the far side of the third moon of the planet, in synchronous orbit of the planet with moon one, and therefore never detectable by conventional imperial systems. they send representatives from both clans, to find the two major parts of the wreckage the cargo containers, the suspected origin of the tyranid incursion, and the habitat section (where the incursion ended, and where any survivors might be found and eliminated)

When the engine section crashed down into the Cragsback mountains on the north ridge, it had at least one unusual effect, the crash stirred an ancient spore pocket, a cloud from which spilled the Broketooth Ork Spores, and a more Vicious Clan of Orcs could not be found. the Drums of war began to beat, deep in the quiet heartland of Summerfall.
