Battle
Description
6th Company was deployed to Ossilar as a strike force of five squadrons and company staff. Like all of the regiment's formations, it was raised on a world under quarantine. That quarantine was declared before the opening of the Great Rift and has never been lifted.
On arrival the company received a directive under Inquisitorial seal. The directive required the company to surrender its personnel for examination and its vehicles for impoundment. It gave no reason that the company was cleared to read. Captain Vask asked for confirmation through regimental channels. That request was overtaken by events. Inquisitorial forces moved to enforce the directive by arms before an answer came. German only
