Battle Summary
As the first shots were fired in the opening salvos on the surface of Raynes the Mechanicum forces on Sudeen executed their own plans; thousand of troops including mercenary Astartes and allied forge world levies launched surprise attacks on Imperial forces which had landed on the desert planet. Many such forces were caught unaware and were cut down in the onslaught while the others either regrouped or withdrew from the combat area all together. In a short but bloody gambit the former system rulers had reclaimed their world and established an extensive defensive line to prevent Imperial counter assault. However not all went to plan.
As part of their attempt to oust the Imperial presence on Sudeen the conclave had revealed their last remaining orbital weapon platforms, one which had survived the Compliance action and remained hidden since. This powerful satellite housed weapons capable of targeting both planetary and stellar targets with pinpoint accuracy and devastating effect, but the Imperials were ready and waiting. Having long suspected that the forge lords had one or more such weapons coveted away the Imperium had a standing Crimson Level system wide warning to all senior Astartes commanders who entered the Centrumeh Gate on the remote chance of conflict; paranoid but on this occasion prudent. The moment the station powered up and commenced targeting protocols, both Loyalist and Traitors forces sent multiple boarding parties to the platform, quickly overcoming the small Mechanicum garrison and seizing control of the asset.
Immediately the weapons were turned against targets other than those invading Sudeen, dropping one of the planets major defenses and allowing the Imperial forces to reenter orbit and begin reinforcing their embattled ground forces. The counter offensive from the newly strengthened Imperial forces was brutally effective, punching clean through the Mechanicums defensive lines and breaching the underground forges in multiple places, creating a myriad of close combat skirmishes beneath the ground. Above ground the war continued both against the secessionist faction with their allies and between the two rival Imperial forces, destroying large portions of the limited infrastructure around the forge entrances.
One such installation located on the planets perpetual dark north took significant damage to its power supplies shutting down a number of the automated defenses further endangering the besieged forces.
