A thousand years ago the Ban of Prejudice was lifted when in the climactic battle for Aldan IV the accursed Templars detonated the Aldan Crucible and in doing so created a both a dark age and the end of the Great Khanate War. Their matter gateway in the Aldan system destroyed the Shia Khan Empire had no easy way to reach the worlds that became the Prydian Precinct as their empire lay so far away that no Dragon Ship could navigate to that region of space without immense difficulty. Gradually the Shia Khan became a memory and then a legend held by folk as a tale and nothing more. Had it not been for the occasional wreak and discovery of artefacts they would have remained that way. Had it not been for Hugo Sevaris the Khanate would have faded away. But Sevaris became the most notorious traitor in human history when he used arcane knowledge to activate the matter gateway in the Camarthen star system.
Despite a desperate action in the deep Belkus Labyrinth the Camarthen Planetary Militia with the aid of the few hundred Retained Knights of Prydia on the planet could not stem a tide of Shia Khan troops which emerged from the purple light of the matter gateway. A civilian fusion reactor taken from a nearby city was detonated and the Belkus Labyrinth destroyed burying the gateway and those coming from it under hundreds of feet of stone and earth. A message was sent to New Glastonbury at the fastest possible speed.
"A matter gateway is active on Camarthen IV. Losses are mounting, send everything; everyone. Send them now. The Khanate have returned."
It did not take long for the Legions of the Shia Khan Empire to dig their way to the surface and begin once more their determined drive to conquer mankind.

Love it! And for this to be put out as a free PDF is awesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris. We are a small company, friendly and fun. We need to make a living and we do but we are not mean or grasping. Seventeen pages is the length and the result so be it!

A couple of quick questions - should the Pioneer Assault Tesseran listed in the example Legionary Ordos be a Pioneer Rifle Tesseran? Second - what is the extra cost of a Comms figure or Medic ?
ReplyDeleteHello Andrew. Thanks for your questions. In answer, yes, its a typo it should be Pioneer Rifle Tesseran. In all cases where points values are not given you should use your Patrol Angis book with costings for in Advanced Rules for things like Comms and Medic skills. The free PDF is a half way house for players at this time. Enjoy and if you have more questions just email me or post here. GBS
DeleteExcellent. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteFound them now! I was looking for the points costs in with the units costs but of course they are in the special abilities section. Just me being dumb :)
ReplyDeleteNot at all. Its a journey and you have found what you needed. Enjoy the game.
