Operation: Skyfall - St Keeler's Rest


Points: 1000.

Deployment and Mission: Tipping Point / Rapid Escalation.

Primary Objective: Scorched Earth.

Detachment: Gladius Task Force.

Opponents Detachment: Bringers Of Flame.


Following the conclusion of the Vigilus Cruasade, the Rift Wardens departed back into Imperial space looking for their next war zone. Arthurus was furious over the events at the dawn of the war where the Sororitas attacked them and that fury grew until he ordered his forces to change course to follow the Sororitas back to their shrine world. The plan would be to launch a surprise drop assault and eradicate their forces in revenge. It did not go well.

Despite the initial orbital assault, which won the Rift Wardens some small victories, their forces were quickly overrun by Sororitas forces under the surprise command of Morvenn Vahl. The relative quick pace of the Sororitas counter-attack was due to limited forces available initially for the chapter on the ground. By the end of the first few days of fighting, the Sororitas had shown a strong devotion to defending their world and the Rift Wardens needed to alter their strategies if victory was to be assured.
