By The Dawn's Early Light

Chaplin Uri-EL,
Battle report- Security level- Omega 3 Alpha
Imperial date:2009*May*02

Thought of the day: The Emperor Protects!

+++ Battle Barge Eternal Glory dispatched to investigate early reports of a psychic disturbance in the warp.

+++ Forward scout elements make planet fall and begin an alpha pattern sweep of the area. Battle brothers from the Night watch chapter participate in the operation.

+++ Forward elements make contact at 0500hrs local time. Movement! ......Trynids! Strength and Honour brothers!! Hold fast.

+++ Reserves deploy to counter the Trynid infestation. Night watch scout squad lost contact, assume lost, first casualties of the encounter. As dawn breaks, we see the full array of the foe assembled against us. A mighty host of the most unholy and vile creatures in the galaxy.

+++ From all sides they rushed us. Forward unites were quickly over-run. They bought us time to deploy our battle line. Heavy weapons teams on our right, our revered dreadnoughts on the left.

+++ Action right...devastators managed to clear our right flank with acceptable losses. Action Left.. dreadnoughts moving up. Night watch dreadnought engaged a brood of stealers which appeared on the right and over-ran a Night watch combat squad. Action centre..up coming the Carnifax which duly engaged our own Dreadnought. Our lines were breaking.

+++As if on signal, the creatures began a fall back from whence they came. Truly , i ask was this just a probe on our lines? By the Emperor's grace we held the line...just barely.

Acceptable losses, objective achieved. Glory to the Lion. Glory to the Emperor.
