Mictlan War

The Mictlan War was an Imperial xenocidal campaign conducted by the Storm Zealots Space Marine Chapter in the defence of the border world of Mictlan from the encroaching Sol'vos Sept of the Tau Empire.

History
Mictlan is a border world between the Imperium of Man and the upstart Tau Empire. When the Sol'vos Sept suffers a heavy defeat by the Storm Zealots at the mining worlds of Sol'tak or Solata, Tau Commander Shining Star led a retaliation strike against the Storm Zealots on a highly toxic world of Mictlan. Upon this volcanic world filled with toxic air a 20 man 2nd Company squad and a battalion of 48th Jerasian Defenders led by Devastator Sergeant Firman Al Masseh face Kauyon tactics deployed by Commander Shining Star. Even though the Imperial forces succeed in reaching the Fort Station Zigma and sent for a distress signal, the Sol'vos Sept continue to bombard the Fort using the Tau'nar super-heavy battlesuit.

Within less than an hour, the main 2nd Company led by Captain Zachariah himself finally arrived at Mictlan right behind the Tau advanced lines. The captain quickly ordered a lightning charge towards the Sol'vos Sept. The battle rages for more than three days, with a righteous fury and tactical precision, Captain Zachariah and his forces succeed on inflicting a massive casualties against the Tau. The Tau Commander Shining Spear initialized a tactical retreat following the destruction of the Tau'nar super-heavy battlesuit by Sergeant Al Masseh's Twin Lascannon.
