(REPORT FROM TANTZ CONSATHUNE)


Warboss Mekbog Rar Killlug has become one of the newest rising threats in Segmentum Tempestus after unleashing his WAAAGH against the Imperial sub-sectors that are currently faced with substantial numbers of Orks. Several Astartes Chapters have also been sent to deal with the invasion including The Stormwalkers of Extermination, The Punishers of the Cog (two Iron Hands successors), The Imperial Wardens, and The Guardians of the Imperium (two Imperial Fists successors). The first battles against what is now called WAAAGH Killlug were against Imperial Navy elements and a Kill Team from The Celestian Brotherhood Chapter. Despite the heavy resistance that the Imperial forces gave against the Orks, they were forced to retreat and regroup in the face of the Ork assaults. The Kill Team from the Brotherhood was initially 52 battle-brothers strong but, was reduced to 21 brothers after heavy fighting against several heavy waves of Orks Nobz charging their positions on the Feral-World of Megron Minor. After the failed defense of the world, the remaining Astartes returned back to their main Chapter Fleet to regroup and rally their battle-brothers for the coming war against the new WAAAGH. The whole Chapter was deployed to the nearby Eurasian Sub-Sector with orders to hold the sub-sector no matter the cost in lives for the incoming Imperial reinforcements to arrive and help crush this new Ork incursion. The heavy fighting The Celestian Brotherhood faced was from a splinter of the WAAAGH lead by Warboss Killlug's lieutenants: Arch-Butcha Uggutz Gaz Teefsnag Ruka and Kaptin Zhada Wug Gutchoppa leading millions of Orks and hundreds of thousands of vessels from the WAAAGH against an Astartes Chapter numbering almost nine hundred battle-brothers. The fighting lasted for nearly eight solar months with the Brotherhood holding back every assault with cold precision and determination in their defense. Using their specialty in Void Combat and Guerrilla Tactics to thin the Ork numbers and at one point succeed in killing Kaptin Gutchoppa and destroying his flagship in a daring Void raid from the 1st companies most experienced veterans. However, the resulting struggle was not nearly enough for the Chapter to hold on their own, suffering several heavy losses to their companies and the daring raid on the Ork Freebooterz had seen almost the whole 1st company wiped out from the fierce resistance caused by the Ork Mech Nobz guarding their Kaptin. The majority of the Chapter fleet was also almost wiped out with all of the strike cruisers deemed lost in combat and the last two battle barges were too heavily damaged to resume combat duties and were ordered by Chapter Master Vastaius Evidanus to withdraw and tell the rest of the Imperium of The Celestian Brotherhood's final moments. The Sub-Sector was to be the place where the final stand of The Celestian Brotherhood and their readied to make the Orks pay dearly in lives and blood for every inch left no matter how many of the Xenos come their way. The two battle barges were able to reach The Imperial Wardens and informed them of their chapter's final stand and possible destruction at the hands of the Orks, but, the Captain of The Imperial Wardens 3rd company, Captain Yonnehn Dolian lead the Battle Barge 'Imperious Shield' and several Imperial cruisers from the nearby Imperial Battlfleet Tempestus to save The Celestian Brotherhood from certain death at the hands of the foul Ork Xenos. Upon arriving in the Sub-Sector, the Imperial relief force saw that the final battle-brothers of the Brotherhood were engaged in the final assault lead by the Arch-Butcha Teefsnag Ruka personally. The reinforcements immediately began to engage the Ork fleet in the hope to draw away some of their numbers and relieve pressure from their fellow Astartes brothers. But despite their daring assault into the center of the Ork fleet even blasting apart Teefsnag Ruka's own Rok, the strike force that was sent to reestablish contact with The Celestian Brotherhood found the remaining battle brothers of the Chapter's 1st and 2nd companies bodies laying around their fallen Chapter Master who, upon looking over scattered bodies of both Astartes and Orks alike, the reinforcements saw they had made the Orks pay for it dearly and have gone in a glorious last stand worthy of any Astartes even their Chapter Master had slain dozens of Ork Mech Nobz and slew the Arch-Butcha himself at the cost of his own life. The reported fall of The Celestian Brotherhood was reported back to Imperial Command and the report back to Terra to ring the bells for another Astartes Chapter had done their duty and are worthy of remembrance until the end of time. The rest of the WAAAGH lasted nearly three decades before its advance was finally halted and Warboss Killlug was driven back after a fierce Void battle was fought to halt the Xenos advance and was even able to liberate some worlds that had recently been taken by the Orks. The new Crusade to push back the gains the WAAAGH had taken is being created and organized to drive back the savage and warlike Xenos and reestablish Imperial order in the sector. I have created this report to inform the Ordos Xenos that may need to send additional reinforcements from any other Chapters nearby and possibly some elite Deathwatch Kill Teams be sent to this new warzone before any resurgent Ork activity is detected and threaten to undo the recent Imperial successes that were paid dearly by the Imperial Navy and Astartes forces earlier in the campaign.
