Battle Summary

The imperial fist garrison on Maesta consited of a full battle company of the 501st battalion.

It was early in the day when Battle-captain Severin received word of a Death guard fleet in the system and that they had dispatched a vanguard heading straight for Maesta. The 7the legions fleet made a blockade around the world, preventing some of the landing ships breaking through, but a sizable death guard force managed to make it to the surface, so the Imperial fists defenders where to be Tested.

The Battle.

The death guard under the leadership of 1st captain Typhus advanced in the early morning glare into the 7the legions defences. Battle was met when twin lances of las energy stabbed out, stunning the death guards leviathan. The deathguard responded by raining hellfire down with their thudd guns and missile launchers. The vindicators trying to stop the Imperial fists own Dreadnought. The 7the legions breachers moved forward under heavy Fire, attempting to push the invaders back. While Battle captain Severin ordered his spartan forward.

The Imperial fist terminators crashed into tthe deathguard lines making short work of the 14th legions infantry, but were then ccaught in a deadly chem bombardment by the Grave warden terminators, all but the Battle captain being slain. The thudd guns continued to hammer the 7the legions lines so Captain Severin went about silenceing them on his own, at this time the Imperial fists vindicators destroyed the traitors leviathan which allowed the Imperial fists stroops to advance and engage the death guard troops, a deadly Fire fight began.

The Grave wardens could not allow the Loyalist captain to live after causing so much death to their brothers. They went to charg but were stopped but Ancient Husraal, the Imperial fists Contemptor came to his captains aid and smashed the 14the legion terminators to bits. Together they pushed up the right flank, destroying he other Dreadnought and meeting the Deathshroud and Typhus himself in combat. On the left flank the leviathan saved his companies vehicles by using his grav bombard to clear an enemy held fort of the death guard snipers and heavy support squad, the leviathan than began to pursue the Vindicator squadron.

The melee in the middle was visious, captain Severin using his paragon blade to ddismeber several Deathshroud before they could react, and the Ancient Husraal crashed the rest with his mighty fists. Only Typhus remained he struck out at the captain but his reaping attacks were deflected by the Imperial fists might storm shield, Typhus was then run through with the captains blade and promptly teleported back to his starship before he could be decapitated. The 7the legions astartes using presicion bolter drill where able to gun down the death guard advancing in the open, and on the right the vindicators furiously and desperately tried to stop the 7the legions leviathan but the shells scratched off its mighty torso and detonated harmlessly on its shield. It closed with them and ripped them to pieces with its massive Siege drill. And with the detonating of the vindicators ammo the Imperial fists had won a hard fought victory, buying the imperium another day of control over Maesta with their blood.

Typhus was healed above in his starship, he retreated to rejoin the deathguard fleet. The 14th legion had only just Entered the Elgurn system, and they would make the loyalists pay for this defeat.
