Necrons Force Astares Retreat in Sigmunous Sector
Late reports from the Sigmunous Sector tell of a Necron incursion
in the vicinity of the abandoned Imperial Courts building. A recon
detail of Space Marines under the command of Colonel Cristobal
encountered the intruding combat group of destroyers, warriors and
lychguard believed to be led by the infamous Destroyer Lord Sharydan.
The Ministorum of Records provided campod images of the encounter.

Cristobal calls in a dread to outflank the menace and disrupt the Necron plan
It seems to work as the Wraithes peel off to address the Dread presence and
Necron warriors pivot to open fire on the intruder. The Dread is blown up by
concentrated fire from the Immortals position and that of the warriors.
At the front, the remorseless advance of the Necrons continues
Cristobal calls in Jump Troops and a nearby Bike Squadron for support
In a rash move, the bikes charge out to meet the threat and are cut down by
concentrated Gauss fire. The Vindicator also succumbs to the overwhelming
Gauss fire.
Lord Sharydan is determined and orders Deathmarks to teleport in and destroy the
Jump Troops
Cristobal, sensing that the situation was getting out of hand ordered his
Shock Jump Troops to eliminate the Deathmarks to cover his withdrawal
The Necron appearance in the Sigmunous Sector has raised alarms throughout
the department. Imperial and Astares forces are being mobilized to contain the threat.
More news will be reported as details are released.
