Subject: Enemy Action Near Anti-Orbital Installation 34 on Taskir IV
Commander, I am bring this to your attention so we can be ready for similar attempts.
Enemy forces were attempting to seize control of a generator that feeds the orbital defence network in an bid to take control of Installation 34. If successful it would have created a breach in the orbital defences and allowed orbital assistance to Imperial ground forces.
One Captain Fazalur of the Astra Militarum lead 2 assaults on the generator. In the first he was trying to capture the facility intact. He was able to ambush me before the entirety of my forces were present and pinned down a number of my Crisis suits, injuring several. I was able to regain the initiative once the rest of my forces arrived and destroyed 2 tanks along with routing 2 infantry squads. In an attempt to flank Captain Fazalur I moved up the field but in the process lost my marker drones. I was forced to engage in melee combat with one of the infantry squads and killed the Gue’la’ui (Sergeant) before they withdrew. Losses on both sides were high. We both retreated and obtained reinforcements to replenish our losses.
The second attempt he made was more brute force than the first. Fazalur, seeing that he couldn’t capture the generator intact determined that the next best course of action was to destroy it. A number of charges were planted around the facility but luckily I was able to arrive before they were ready to be detonated. Due to an error in command I lost a crisis and a stealth squad for little gain but was able to recover from my mistake and kill his command squad and the infantry platoon he had. I wasn’t able to keep all of the charges from going off but had disabled enough to prevent the generator from being completely destroyed.
