System Defense Force Intelligence Report

Black Templar, Blood Angles, and Salamanders:  The Administratum has begun to suspect that the Timbra Sub-Sector has started to fall under the sway of foul Xenos forces.  Indeed there have been unconfirmed reports of strange technologies unknown to the Imperium and have been erratic sightings of Xenos ships in the region. 

In response to this incursion into Imperial space, a combined force of Blood Angles, and Salamanders have been deployed to reassert imperial control and to serve as a visible reminder of both the might of the Emperor and the high cost of treason.  They have been joined in this effort by a passing Black Templar temples hip that had intended to utilize the AdMech Moon Base to resupply and move on.  Discovering the sector to be at risk, they have valiantly joined with their brother Space Marines.

For the moment, the three companies of Space Marines are united in the face of a common threat.  However, under the surface cracks have already begun to form, with the Captains proving unwilling to accept a uniform command structure.  Will this division cause their alliance to fracture or will they be able to remain united in the face of a common threat?

Craftworld Yogan (Eldar):  The Eldar were driven from the Timbra sub-system millennia by a chaos sorcerer who slaughtered the population of Gallesti, then a maiden world, in the hopes of earning the blessings of Tzeentch.  In fleeing they joined the population Craftworld Yogan, where they were offered protection and support.  They have now returned under the direction of their Farseer Council which has indicated that events in the sub-sector will prove vitally important in the upcoming centuries and there are troubling indications that an apocalyptic event may be on the verge of befalling Craftworld Yogan.  

While on in the region, they intend to reclaim certain artifacts from Gallesti that were lost when the maiden world fell.  However, they know that it will serve the Eldar well if they can strike any decisive blows against Tau Empire in the region as their Farseers have come to believe that they are somehow involved in causing the future apocalyptic event. 

Unknown to the Eldar, it is in fact, the arrival of the Demon Prince Thoth into the sector that will pose the greatest threat to the Eldar.  Should he prove successful in his own plans, the result would result in a great warp storm that would consume the entire sub-sector, including Craftworld Yogan. 

Eldar forces have entered the battle covertly, hoping to remain unnoticed by the imperial forces in the region, while they subtly try to position the Mon-keigh into destroying one another.

Charnovokh Dynasty (Necron):  Unknown to the Imperial Forces that have long believed sub-sector Timbra to be their own, the AdMech contingent in the region has built their Moon Base on what is actually Tomb World Charnovokh.  The AdMech discovered Xenos tech buried deep underground while hollowing out tunnels and chambers for their base.  Hoping to unlock the secrets of this technology, they dug too deep and too greedily, removing artifacts cherished by the sleeping Necron Lord for study.

He has awakened to discover this theft and he will stop at nothing to have his revenge.  Recovering the stolen artefacts will not be enough; every remnant of the AdMech forces must be removed from existence.  To his dismay, much of his forces have proven slow to awaken from their millennia long slumber.  In this depleted state, he has come to recognize that there would be no hope of success if he were to operate in isolation.  To this end, he intends to support any who would battle against the AdMech, at least for the time being.
