Battle Summary
The Empusan Front
Simultaneous with the attack on Fuschal proper, a splinter of the Liberation Fleet launched their own attack on the Death World of Empusa. At the suggestion of the Archmagos Tylas 7-Rheen, these warships approached Empusa from above the system’s ecliptic, using the fierce electromagnetic storms that crowned the planet to mask their approach.
This allowed them to fall without warning on the ships left to guard the planet, and rout them utterly. From there, they could land troops on the deadly mining world. Unlike the waterworld of Fuschal, there was nothing to prevent deployment of heavy armour, or superheavy walkers, and both would prove invaluable in the assault on the traitor-held mining cities. Even subterranean assault vehicles would have their place over the coming days.
That is not to say, however, that Empusa did not present its own unique problems as a theatre of war - the planet had been named after a mythical monster that devoured the unwary, and the native flora of the world was certainly deadly. Infantry, in particular, risked their lives if forced from their transports.
The Screaming Jungle
Infantry, bikes and open-topped vehicles take d6 Poison(4) hits if they move through soft cover, thickets, or swamps. Enclosed vehicles, flyers, and skimmers are immune. Any game played on the surface of Empusa, beyond the city walls, should have as many patches of undergrowth and groves of carnivorous plant growth as possible.
The Mining Cities of Empusa
For obvious reasons, most of the population and industry of the world operated underground. Surface installations - including the spaceports from which the mineral wealth of Empusa was shipped to other systems - were protected from encroachment by sheer walls and incendiary weapons.
These fortifications all count as Impassable terrain, providing 4+ cover from the battlements, and provide the Torrent trait to flamer weapons.
