The Combined Dark Angels Battle Force managed to capture and interrogate a surviving Tech Adept. From his description,
the situation became more clear.
The Rogue Trader's expedition had unearthed evidence pointing to and STC Weapon's System of immense power. The value
of such a find was immense, and they immediately staked their claim and set about excavations at dozens of potential sites.
The Adeptus Mechanicus sent a Tech Guard Force to "aid" in the discovery. Tensions and mistrust were understandably high,
and when one of the sites provided direct leads to the final resting place of the STC, outright combat broke out.
The Rogue Trader's retinue had apparently been infiltrated by agents of the Fallen, as, marines in black led
the fighting, cutting bloody swathes through the Tech Guard. However, the battle must have woken an even more ancient power,
as Necron Warriors rose and began to indiscriminantly attack all the interlopers. The battle turned into a three-way affair,
and all sides sufferred heavy casualties, with the Tech Guard all but wiped out.
The Senior Tech Adept and his last remaining troops were able to escape with the location of the STC intact, but
had been constantly fighting a battle for survival from the ever growing Necron horde. More importantly, it is only a matter
of time before the surviving Rogue Trader/Fallen force decode the information too.
After providing all the information they had, the surviving Tech Adept and his last men were of course executed
for their own good.
SET UP
The Game will be a three way take and hold battle.
One side will be the Dark Angel force.
One side will be a Necron Force.
One side will be a Fallen led force of some kind. Most force structures will do, other Marines, Lost and Damned, Inquisition,
or some other variant, to simulate the Rogue Trader force the Fallen have taken over.
The Battle will be for a key central terrain piece, the STC construct, which must be held at the last turn.
The Dark Angels can acheive minor victories (points) for destruction of the site to deny another victor, or capturing
any designated Fallen.
