Foreword

Hello, This is my first narrative campaign, and the first campaign I've decided to attempt to share, so CC is more than welcome as I learn and get better. Sadly I don't have any pretty pictures as the armies of me and my friends are far from tabletop standards, so to make up for that, I will be writing out the campaign in a different way than usual, completely in the form of a narrative taken from the perspective of the soldiers fighting the battles rather than from the player perspective. I hope that makes them interesting to read as the mysteries of the Somata system unravel. I will be updating the Table of contents with links to the various battles as I finish writing them. Hope you enjoy.

Prologue
The Somata System, the sole producer of composite gel, a technological tonic, capable of soothing the most restless machine spirit.
Fabricator General Uther of forgeworld Soma V has gone to great lengths to insure the STC containing composite gel,
remains hidden from his rivals. The militaristic might the Somata System possesses, is about to be put to the test,
but not from a rival forgeworld as Fabricator General Uther had original thought.

Composite gel’s use far extends beyond its current sanctioned application and there are those who wish to unlock its potential, for the good of all.

A sensation that had become unfamiliar to Waltin washed over him, perhaps it was unease, or maybe shadow of fear?
