Feud of the Red Clouds

Turn 1: Hold the Line

The Crimson Way is ideally suitedfor aircraft operations. Airpower will

be the key to this war.-Attributed to:Commander Markus PlegaboAeronautica Imperialis

The Feud of the Red Clouds had been a festeringlow-level conflict for a decade before it

exploded into a full fledged conflict. For years,

the rival Magos and their stations sniped and

raided each others bases and gas mining fleets.

No one side had managed to inflict a crippling

blow.

Several key factors escalated the Feud into a

full-fledged war. The first was the introductionof Xenos elements on the planet. These groups

destabilized the delicate balance of power in

catastrophic ways. In addition, the arrival of

renegades and Imperials altered the situation even

further.

With the situation on Rutilus vastly changed, it

became a scramble to consolidate the territory that

each station already controlled. Reinforcements

and supplies were rushed across the gas giant.

Defenses were strengthened, supplies were

reallocated, and the valuable gas assets were

shuttled back to the main stations for export. Aflurry of activity took place as each of the factions

on Rutilus prepared for an all out war.

++Sit Rep by Region++

Warzone 1: Station LambdaThe Eldar Corsair fleet ofEiryuan kept a

vigilant watch over their region of Rutilus. The

Corsairs webways portals worked tirelessly to

bring in the weapons and material needed to

launch an offensive against the other Magos.

Eiryuan was determined to kill or capture the

tech-priests.

In addition to an alliance of Craftworlders and

Corsairs; the Eldar forces also welcomed the

arrival of their dark kin. Dark Eldar raiding craft

supplemented the Corsair fleet. Whatever

motivations drove Eiryuan to an alliance with

his evil brethren must be dire indeed. The hatred

of the dark kin for their fellow Eldar is second

only to their disgust with the lesser races.

Warzone 2: Station Ro

Magos Archivald and his Tau allies busily

prepared. Envoy Twala of the Water Caste had

arranged for the more mundane Imperial craft of

the Magos defense forces to be modified and

upgraded with Tau technology. As these

Guelvesa forces were prepared, air caste

volunteers arrived to reinforce the defenses of

the station.

The commanders of these Air Castes proved

exceptionally aggressive. They eagerly launched

patrols over their zone and engaged the Ork

menace threatening the Tau controlled airspace.

For the most part, these Ork patrols were

haphazard and easily scattered. Landings from

orbit by Manta transports were able to easily

break through the Ork harassers. However, such

early victories proved to be a short lived. The

Orks that survived these early engagements

learned vital combat skills.

Later during the reinforcement drops, the Orks

learned how to handle Manta troop landings. In

an ambush near platform Zeta-Zeta- 3Beta. The

Orks own heavy aircraft and escorts managed to

get the drop on an incoming Manta. The Tau

Manta survived, but was forced to disengage from

the landing run.

This forced Tau command to reconsider theirresupply strategy. Instead, of quick smash and

dash combat drops, the Tau fleet pulled back away

from the Gas Giant to consider their next move.

Controlled by: Tau

Warzone 3: Station Alpha

Vice-Admiral Nils Volsk had been very confident

as he entered the Rutilus system. His Taskforce

351 was a powerful force. This would be the first

test of his fleet, and proof once and for all about

the validity of theFuror Imperialis doctrine. He



3/9

eagerly contacted Commander Markus Plegabo

and had his combat wings deploy down to

Rutilus to assist Magos Deanarus in cleansing

this world. However, he soon ran into

complications.

On paper, his combat forces seemed powerful

and impressive. However, he soon learned that

in reality, they were a hollow figure. The fighter

wings assigned to his taskforce had been

hollowed by combat. Now, they were little more

than an illustrious service record. The Vice-

admiral was enraged by this discovery, and tookout his wrath on his subordinates.

In the meantime, the swelling Ork and Chaos

forces attacked. By sheer numbers they swept

aside the token Imperial defenders and

penetrated deeply into the rough wind currents

around Station Alpha. The Chaos forces in

particular seemed to know exactly where and

when to strike. Their air wings sliced throughthe Imperial defenders like a power sword

through butter. Their assault seemed

unstoppable.

It was only a solid influx of Waaagh! fueled Ork

pilots that were able to check the Chaos advance.

The Orks were so eager to get into a scrap, that

they inadvertently saved the Imperial forces frombeing completely routed. Thus, Station Alpha and

Magos Deanarus forces were saved. The

Imperial were down, but not out. They could still

bounce back.

Controlled by: Disputed

Warzone 4: Station Epsilon

Badaxe Da UndaNob had not been lax. Once his

boyz learned about the potential for more conflict

and bloodshed, they threw themselves behind the

new plan. His Mekz and Gretchin eagerly

pounded out new aircraft, and his boyz were ever

eager to take to the skies and learn the trade of air

warfare.

One thing that Da UndaNob learned right away,

was that in order for his planes to fly, they needed

fuel. For them to shoot stuff, they needed bullets.It wasnt just about Orks and Grots. He quickly

began gathering all the scrap and parts he could

find from the platforms he controlled.

However, the Magos Cy Belle and Mistress

Mercievaux had struck hard and fast all across

Rutilus, and the airspace around Epsilon Station

was no exception. The allied warbands of the

Chaos fleet swarmed into the region. The

interceptors eagerly chased down the supply

convoys, however the Orks were quick to

respond. This led to swirling air battles throughout the region.

With the main Ork forces distracted by Chaos,

some of the more aggressive Tau Air Caste

commanders tried to snatch some quick victories

off their foes. However, the Orks were already

on high alert and easily batted these initial

advances aside.

Controlled by: Orks

Warzone 5: Station Severus

Mistress Merceivaux came to Rutilus to conquer

it as a factory world to support her growing

renegade fleet. With her desire for conquest in

mind, she eagerly launched a full-scale assault

across Rutilus. She had managed to gather a

coalition of allied warbands through trickery,

bribery, and outright force. The offer of newaircraft were enough to entice the services of

several mercenary forces.

Magos Cy Belle provided his new Mistress with

vital intelligence on the disposition of platforms

and stations on Rutilus. Using this information,

her allies in the Alpha Legion were able to capture

vital intelligence during covert operations against

Imperial forces. This intelligence proved to be

the bedrock in which the Chaos attack was built

upon.

With Taskforce 351 approaching In-system

rapidly, Mistress Mercievaux unleashed her fury

on the Gas Giant. Swarms of Chaos fighters

swarmed down from orbit, raining death and

destruction. The offensive swept into the regionscontrolled by Station Alpha and Epsilon, the two

main rivals to Magos Cy Belles ambitions.

The attacks would have been a complete success,

except for a new element that none to her agents

had identified. The revelation that Ork forces

were embedded on the Gas Giant. This was a foe

that the Mistress had not anticipated.

The Orks had been enough to halt her offensive

and grind it down to a stalemate. However,

despite the efforts of brazen Tau and savage Ork

marauders she was able to secure her hold on the

platforms around Severus station. Although her

hold on the region was not as strong as she

initially calculated, and her forces were now

spread across Rutilus.

Conclusion:

The Feud of the Red Clouds has entered its final

stage. What had once been a simmering, low

level conflict has exploded into a full-fledged

war! The lines have been drawn and battle has

been joined.

To control Rutilus, one must control the outlying

stations that make up the region of each Great

Station. To control these is to control the wealth

that flows into each Station and fuels the war.

Controlling these smaller platforms is the key to

settling the feud.

Magos Archivald and Envoy Twala, Magos Cy

Belle and Mistress Merceivaux, and Boss

Badaxe Da Undanob have aggressively staked

there claim for the control of Rutilus. These

factions seem eager to challenge the other and

have aggressively moved into other regions.

Meanwhile, Eiryun has been content to solidify

his position. His fragile coalition requiring the

utmost care to keep from falling apart.

The Imperial Taskforce 351 is faced with a

difficult situation. Their forces were strong on

paper, but proved to be much weaker in the field.

Their forward bases have been decimated by

rampaging Orks and renegades. However, the

Imperium is nothing if not resilient. They have

bounced back from setbacks in the past, and the

Feud of the Red Clouds is far from decided.

As we move into the next stage of the caampaign

for control of Rutilus, the command staffs of the

various factions have realized that to control theplatforms in the Crimson Way you must control

the air. Air supremacy will be the key to

maintaining the key lines of supply and keep the

flow of logistics moving.

The final stages of the Feud of the Red Clouds has

begun with a bang, but the greatest moments are

still to come.
