Description
The 7th Vodenskar Bastion Regiment is raised from a fortress world. It holds trench lines by doctrine and by temperament. It was assigned to a sector of prepared entrenchments on Cadia Secundus. The line had been dug in successive belts against conventional assault, with fire trenches, communication saps and fixed artillery positions to the rear.
Auspex returns and the reports of forward pickets indicated that Necron forces were rising from beneath the plain to the regiment's front. The enemy's emergence point lay below the regiment's own ground. This fact was not known at the time of the order to hold.
