The morning air was crisp as Captain Anara exited her command post and started to check the line as Imperial Guardsmen and members of order militant looked on.  To see a Space Marine Captain was impressive by its self  but to see a Female Space Marine was something to behold.   The Daughters of Vengeance had arrived to assist the Planetary Governor to protect his world from the Dark Lords of Chaos and the traitors from the fallen legions of Chaos Space Marines.  As Anara walked the battle line, she swore that as long as she or any of her sisters drew breath, that this world would not suffer the fate of Saven 7. 

 

As she went through her inspection, she heard over her comlink that the 1^st Company was in place in full Terminator Armour.  This was good for the Holy chosen would be needed before the day was through   She then spoke to the General in charge of the Imperial Guard Regiment sent to help with defense. It will fall on him and his men to take the brunt of the attack and provide artillery support for the upcoming battle.  Also in this meeting in the Battle Sister in charge of the detachment sent to protect the Temple and reinforce the Imperial troops.   It was important that when the enemy arrived that everything be ready.

 

As they began their talks a ship appeared in high orbit and began to attack. Then the drop pods and assault ship began to descend on them.  Anara ordered batteries to begin to fire on the enemy ships and she order all personal to battle stations.

From his command ship, the Dread Lord Akora looked down on planet where soon he would land to engage the enemy’s of his Lord Abbadon.  Akora was confident that his men were all hardened and battle tested. They would do well no matter who waited for them.   Rumor had it that some of their misguided brothers or the women that dare to call themselves Space Marines would be there waiting for them.  He then gave the order to begin the assault on the planet below.

 

The drop pods began their decent to the planet as fire went by or struck an unfortunate squad’s pod, bringing death to them before they had the glory of battle.   What lies ahead for him or his command, he does not know, but it will be glorious nonetheless.  The pods landed on their zones and the Black Legion now marched to battle supported Moelock and his Berserkers.

 

The Sorcerer prepared for work also knowing that at least one Adeptus Librarian would be waiting. Akora walked over to where landing ships were deploying the soldiers who had seen the light and left the service of the false Emperor and embraced the truth.  

After talking to the commander of the troops upon whom the brunt of fighting would fall he ordered his forces forward to battle and either Death or Glory.
