Points: 2000.
Deployment: Front Line.
Primary Objective: Duel.
Operation: Liberation was a hastily formed military operation to retake the energy generation complex recently taken by the Emperor's Children. The force that participated was led by Uther, the chapter's chief librarian, and consisted of some two hundred battle brothers concentrated on the outskirts of the surrounding swamplands. A second force, with support of dreadnoughts awaited to assault from the opposite side to cause a distraction.
Two days after the site fell to the enemy, and a couple of days before the chapter as a whole was assault the heretic astartes lines, Uther organised his forces. On the day, he told Arthurus and his council of captains that he was ready to go. The chapter master approved and gave the go ahead order.
Stalking through the swamps, Uther issued the attack order once the power generator came into full view. The primary objective was to breach the defenses and cut separate enemy patrols from one another and block an potential evacuation points. Both companies gained the element of surprise and many Emperor's Children marines were slain in the first few minutes.
The second assault force concentrated their attack upon the main facility itself, and with dreadnought support, breached the doors and began to engage the forces within. Between both companies, the Rift Wardens executed Uther's plan like a surgeon's scalpel, crushing enemy resistance with bolter and plasma. The remaining enemy marines attempted to flee but were cut down as they ran. Within a matter of hours, the power generator was back under loyalist hands.
