Campaign report part I

Faris Campaign Report

From Shas'o Lao'Tai of the Fire Caste Firestorm Cadre to Venerable Aun'Ka of the Ethereal Caste.

The Faris system

The Faris system is distant to most races, but rich in resources and an important outpost.

Faris II

The great planet of Faris II is covered by a veil of dust and debris, protecting it from the rays of the sun, but making communications and scanning of the planet from space nearly impossible. The exploration of the planet must therefore be done on the surface. The climate is hot and arid, and the surface of the planet is covered mostly by sand. The sand is rich with minerals and metals in some areas.

Humans

The planet of Faris II contains many human independent settlements. We have been establishing recruitment centres in some of these. Many gue'vesa has chosen to join the auxiliary forces in our glorious struggle for the Greater Good.

The hounds of the human imperium have left the system completely. However, one regiment seems to have been left behind, now forming a renegade band of warriors, plundering settlements, industrial facilities, and the remains of conquered enemy vehicles.

Orks

We have not yet encountered any ork forces, but has seen remains of defeated ork armies. The vehicles of the renegade army seems to be made up partly of plundered ork warmachines.

First contact

The first contact with the Renegade army took place among some old ruins that was of some tactical value. The ruins seemed to be the remnants of an old spacecraft, and we will send in our earth caste members to work on it. Our brave Tau forces took some losses, including a battlesuit and a Hammerhead, but otherwise the fight went our way, and we could count our first victory on Faris, all for the Greater Good.
