The Boarding of Zhao-Arkkad

Beschreibung

Zhao-Arkkad was reported lost to forces devoted to Tzeentch after contact with the world failed and its orbital traffic ceased answering hails. A Doomscryer prophecy held by the Aquilan Shield named the world and identified a single objective: an orbital platform in high anchorage above Zhao-Arkkad. The platform had been seized and converted into a ritual site. The prophecy warned that if the working aboard it was completed, the world below would be given over entirely.

A planetary assault was judged unnecessary and too slow. The Captain-Commander therefore ordered Shield Company Aquila Vigilans to make a direct boarding action against the platform at Onslaught strength. The objectives were to break the ritual, to kill or disperse its practitioners, and to deny the structure to the enemy.
