Near the city of Vargus lies the Planetary Defense Platform "Leopold", a fusion cannon capable of destroying ships in deep orbit around the planet, lies in waiting. The Tau scouting forces, using their superior technology, slipped past the defense scanners of the Crimson Fists, and were tasked with the Silencing of Leopold to create a hole in the planet's defensive grid. In order to do this they would have to secure the surrounding area to complete their mission.
Scouts of the space marine chapter reported Xenos reaching the surface, and approaching Vargus from the south. Figuring Leopold to be the true target of the Tau, Reltih mobilized as quickly as he could, risking the second company's only two Land Raiders in order to get to the cannon before the Tau in order to establish a defensive perimeter.
Now the two forces clash for supremacy of the area around the Platform. If the cannon falls, it is likely the Tau Empire will be able to slip more forces onto the planet. Will the Tau be able to achieve there mission and secure the drop zone? Or can the Crimson Fists hold the line and the defenses of the proud chapter's home world?
