The Wildfire Burns
General Summary
No sooner had Battlegroup Tanto departed the Kulak System as they began Operation EDDA, following strange energy signatures and unidentified warp disturbances around the an abandoned ruined world in wilderness space, they had their first enemy contact.
Lieutenant Friedrich Hobart took a small detachment down to the surface and was soon engaged with a Tau battleforce amongst the ruins of an old settlement. Although the 5122nd Imperial Army had come across the Tau from the Kai'sho sept, under the command of the Tau Commander Phoenix, but this force appeared different yet made more than capable foes.
Although the detachment performed well, initially destroying the Tau's main infiltration unit, the Xenos soon took their toll on the Imperial Guard, neutralising half of the detachment in quick succession. The Tau leader, whom the Imperial Army Group's Intelligence section have managed to discover is codenamed "Wildfire", was taken out of action by the autocannons of Grey Squad, but soon Tau reinforcements arrived and the order was given to withdrawn back to the drop zone with what intelligence they had.
