the Lorinos cluster was home to a great Manufactorum, that, during the Imperium-Tau war, the Tau destroyed said Manufactorum, and so, after the War, the Imperium basically just abandoned it... Then came the influx of invaders, Ork rabbles, Chaos cults, Tyranids. With supplies and able bodies dwindling, they had no choice but to surrender control of the system to the Tau... That's when the Imperium got a message... From a long lost Techmarine, still alive, buried beneath the rubble of the Manufactorum. A Distress signal, when prompted for a Sit-rep, the Marine reported only superficial damage to the Titan... Normally this would call for Exterminatus, but the Adeptus Mechanicus has managed to overturn the Inquisitions orders, there is no way the Machine God would allow a sacred Titan to be destroyed when there was a chance to save it. They have ordered the retrieval of the Titan, undamaged, by any means necessary. The good thing is that the Tau still do not know about the Warlord... But if they discover it, then that could lead to the filthy Xeno's getting their hands on it and coercing the machine spirit to heresy. THE TAU CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO ACQUIRE THE TITAN!!! The Deathwatch, led by Inquisition Techpriest Viqtor Remly, are on their way in a single ship, claiming that they are responding to a distress call from the planet, as they are currently under attack from Chaos forces, the local Gue'Vesa and Fire Warriors are holding their own. In the interests of not restarting the Damocles Crusade, the Empire has allowed this. It is, after all, a backwater planet with just a pile of rubble that was a Manufactorum, and rather close to the boarder. All of their forces are currently dealing with other problems.

Appearance: Face: [img]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110909000619/warhammer40k/images/2/29/Guevesa2.jpg[/img] Suit: [img]http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080409172809/warhammer40k/images/0/00/XV81.jpg[/img] Wargear: XV8 Crisis Suit (Equipped with a Combat Knife, Plasma Rifle and Burst-cannon, as well as a missile-pod, a Shield Generator and a Jetpack) Honour Guard/Squad: None. Bio: Born on the planet before the Damocles Crusade, she grew up with the Imperial doctrine being drilled into her head, Her father was a commissar in the local guard. She was 16, a conscript in the local Imperial Guard, they were over-run by Orks, everyone who didn't run was killed... Until they came... The Tau, descending from one of their Manta Gunships like angels. They landed and inspired the Guard to turn the tide. She had heard of this, the Tau would infect the planet with their lies and turn the populace against the Immortal God Emperor. But it was that or death... She decided to play along for now. Following her brothers in arms into battle, she held her tongue for years, she saluted her Xeno overlords. She watched as rebellions were quelled, she knew that they were being stupid. The Emperor wouldn't want her to die in vain. "It is better to die for the Emperor than to live for yourself" That's what she had been taught... But logically, it would be better to live for the Emperor than die for him. She proved herself a capable soldier for the Tau during the defenses of the planet. During the last Chaos invasion, her commanders suit was shot down. Although the suit wasn't badly damaged, the pilot was killed by the impact. She looked down the street to see a Chaos Terminator stomping towards her, realizing that her rifle wasn't going to do her any good, she hid in the wreckage of the suit and let the Terminator pass, before powering it up and blasting the Terminator with the Plasma Rifle. 5 shots saw the armour explode. For her valor, she was granted the suit, using her as propaganda for the masses "Those who prove themselves to be totally devoted to the Greater Good are rewarded." She didn't buy it for a second. She is now defending this world, secretly dedicating each victory to The Emperor. Extra: She is the answer to the question. "Which indoctrination is stronger?" In her case, the Imperiums was FAR stronger.[/hider] [hider=Lord Rothan]Name: Rothan the Blessed. Age: 2931 Faction: Chaos - Word Bearers Appearance: [img]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z472mqw2unY/TRneZW87FPI/AAAAAAAABsU/30H2CRiCFx8/s320/Archaladdon-1.jpg[/img] Wargear: Terminator Armour Chaos Force Sword Storm-Bolter Chaos Icon (Equivalent of Iron Halo) Honour Guard: A pair of Aspiring Champions, one with a Heavy Bolter, the other with a Plasma Cannon. Ready to sacrifice themselves to become Greater Daemons with just a word. Bio: An Azuriah (Fills both the Lord and Sorcerer position of his warband) of Chaos, one of the most highly ordaned members of the Word Bearers, he has claimed to have conquered 10,000 worlds in the name of chaos. Where he comes from, nobody knows. There are many rumours surrounding him. It's said, that as a child, his world was attacked by the forces of Chaos, after seeing his parents struck down by the Chaos Lords aspiring Champion, his psyker abilities awoke, and he ripped the Champion the tatters with just his mind. Taken by the Lord, he was trained on Sicarus to become the next champion of the Word Bearers. Other rumours say that, when he was just 10 years old, he grew bored of his Lord's training and killed him as well, putting him in favour of Tzeench, who granted the child vast power. When he was just 12 years old, he lead his first attack on the Imperium of the Corpse Emperor, slaying many with just his mind. There, the rumours end and we come to fact, He spent 1000 years on Sicarus, training to become the ultimate servant of chaos. Again, nobody knew what he was doing, but it is said that Lorgar himself came out of his meditation to train the young lord. After that, he emerged and was set to the task of expanding the influences of Chaos. At one point, invading the homeworld of the Death Blades (A now deceased Chapter of Space Marines... Thanks to him... He wears the Helmet of their Chapter Master on one of the spikes on his armour.) Abaddon, seeking to exploit him, actually brought him to his flagship to help plan his Black 8th Crusade. Sensing that the Warmaster was merely trying to use him, he convinced Abaddon to attack the Segmentum Obscurus systems, knowing full well that the Inquisition would stop him, whilst setting out on a minor crusade of his own to capture Cypra-Mundi, sacrificing the entire population to Khorne, in exchange for power. This is where he earned his magnificent Wings. He has also survived assassination attempts from the Grey Knights themselves. Now, he has set his eyes on a small prize, a Tau World, seeking the favour of Slaanesh (Who despises the Godless above all others.) Extra: Having killed Scores of Grey Knights, a special order has been put out for when he is spotted "When spotted, do not attempt to attack, he will be dealt with via Exterminatus. It is the only punishment fit for him."[/hider]
