Destiny of The Greater Good
Lying directly to galactic northeast of the Tau Empire the
soldiers of Kandavar have had their run ins with the upstart race. The military
might arrayed in the Kandavar would be more than enough to hold back the
problematic Tau if it wasn’t for the recent threat of Hive Fleet Kraken and the
effort to hunt down isolated dormant sleeping cells that still hide within
planets previously devoured by the Hive Mind . Luckily for the people of
Kandavar the Tau do not yet posses warp travel technology and the distance from
Dal’yth across the Perdus Rift in northern Tau territory is far for the near
light speed space craft they possess.
However, that will not keep the expansionist Tau at bay
forever. Aun’Va has deemed it time for the Third Sphere Expansion and Kandavar
will see war soon.
A new commander has been awoken from cryostasis to lead the attack. Years
before on Sha’Draig a young Shas’Ui made the killing shot against a Hive Tyrant
that ended the threat from Hive Fleet Gorgon, now newly appointed by the ethereal
caste Commander O’Shasshi has prepared for the opportunity to strike.
While Commander Shadowsun has already started the expansion
phase across the Damocles Gulf, Tau forces have been preparing for war on
Kandavar. As forces have been mounting in preparation, probes were sent out
into Kandavar space to spy on the Imperial Forces. Finally after one year of
patience the time has come. Always so slow to react, Imperial Forces in Kandavar
have finally received the plea for aid from Mu’gulath Bay and a retribution
fleet has been sent out.
The closest planet across the Perdus Rift is Tanacus and
this is where the Tau must establish a beach head for further advancement into
Kandavar. Even with a massive portion of Kandavar’s fleet out of the picture,
Tanacus is not defenseless. More steel than planet anymore, Tanacus has been
all but consumed by the Mechanicus. Ringed by twin orbital defense platforms,
along with the entire Cadian 876th defense force, Tanacus is almost as well
defended as Kandavar herself.
The timing is right, and the hunter as made the decision to
pounce, but nothing is more dangerous than a cornered animal.
Marshall your forces and deliver the Mont’ka to those that
stand in the way of the greater good, or stand firm and expunge the vile xenos
from the domains of mankind. Which will you choose?
