 Club Campaign


Campaign location: Easton Fringe
Planets in solar system: 7, 2 of witch uninhabitable.

History:
            When the Emperor set out on the great crusade to illuminate the galaxy this system was at first very reluctant to except imperial rule and the Xenos local to the central planet in the system put up the biggest resistance. Though the Space Marines with help from the imperial guard brought this planet into compliance there were huge losses. Eventually Xenos were finally eradicated, at the time no one knew why they were so resilient. These native Xenos were an early Eldar Exodite colony. During the heresy this system was thrown into severe chaos as civil war broke out across the planet with insurgents striking against the imperial governor and infrastructure. After the heresy during the scouring, its relative obscurity meant that the loyalist imperials were unable to bring the planet back into compliance at first, with other systems more strategically important and vital being secured first. Although this was eventually resolved by the imperial forces on the planet (no aid ever arrived), this weekend the faith of the people on the planet to the sanctity of the imperium. Over time the native question of the Xenos originally present on the planet never did emerge – forgotten through the ages.
            If only the imperials new what the elder were guarding, still slumbering beneath the surface.
            Several years on, the planet is left to its own and the imperium having no interest in its fate(this will soon change). The Tau venturing into the system have established a small colony away from the imperial cities. And due to all ties from Holy Terra being severed the Eldar have returned to try to prevent what they feel is a very immanent threat. What they were hiding will affect everyone in the galaxy. When the Eldar first inhabited the planet they found a huge infrastructure under the surface built thousands of years before, and it was far from abandoned. They found an ancient race slumbering there. And from what they discovered it was a very violent race that did not except co inhabiting with any other race. They discovered the name of this ancient race to be the Necrons.
Unfortunately they were to late and initial sensor dater shows a large amount of activity underneath the surface.
            THEY HAVE AWAKEND.

The Eldar forces feel that the immanent threat from the Necrons is far to much to ignore and decide a pre emptive strike is necessary and begin plans for there assault in an attempt to seal the ancient foe inside there tomb. They have also discovered that the Tau have allied themselves with the Necrons and are trying there best to mask there inevitable attack on the Imperial city.
