Battle Summary
October - Combat Phase The swamp barons and their Mechanicum sponsors never bent the knee further than neccessary to the nascent Imperium before it considered them compliant and moved on during the Great Crusade. No hidden heretics or secrets from Old Night made them do this but pure greed and mistrust of their neighbors intent. Ever insular and bound to turn on one another sooner rather than later Horus rebellion would spark a series of civil wars between factions using the terms of loyalist or traitor as an excuse to turn on their former enemies once again.
The news of fleets bearing down on Metallikus would spark an increased fervor in the fighting that had ground to a natural stalemate after three earlier wars in just a few years had nearly depleted the manpower of the planet for all involved factions, leading to formerly neutral parties gaining ascendancy and sparking another planet spanning conflict. Seeing a chance to prove their worth to whatever side they had sworn themselves to before their saviors arrived or fortify positions against a hated enemy that would surely soon attack them all parties involved threw themselves into frantic action at the news of a fleet arriving.
Void stations above the planet was under control of different sides but was unable to fire upon one another due to ancient Mechanicus protocols and treaties overriding anything the swamp barons could threaten their technocratic allies with. Landing troops was therefor an easy matter while bombarding the opposing forced landing zones was out of the question. The war for Metallikus would be decided by boots on the ground, or more accurately by boots sinking deep into its foetid mire.
