The opening battle of the Invasion of Faroe:
Adrasteia I choose the idyllic Civilized World of Faroe for the opening salvoes of her invasion of Imperial space. Legio Revenantus, supported by conventional ground forces, made planetfall in the upland Senedo river valley south of the cities of Childriss Center and Faroe Oceanus. The invaders hoped to use the rugged terrain to mask their movements and block some of the incoming anti-orbital fire of Faroe's surviving defense batteries. Faroe PDF presence in the Senedo valley was negligible and the initial landings were uncontested on the ground. The Umbral forces planned to quickly seize the strategically vital Gore Gap, a pass out of Senedo Valley and then press on into the costal plain beyond. Gore Gap, however, was not as undefended as they had hoped.
Skitarii of Purity V, as well as the Legio Invicta Maniple Helios made planetfall on Faroe at nearly the same time as the forces of Umbra. They arrived just in time to meet the enemy invasion head on. Maniple Helios rushed at full stride to seal off the mountain passes leading from the valley drop zones into the Piedmont region, hoping to contain the invaders near their drop sites. However, Helios was met at the largest pass, Gore Gap, by the full force of the Revenantus assault. Revenantus maniple Arae smashed through the Invicta defenders, leaving the pass partially blocked with the wreckage of burning engines of both sides and sending the survivors reeling back into the coastal plain.
