Today we will be playing a game of Rampant Stars set in the Operation: Hemlock setting I devised for the Warhammer 40K universe.

Colonel Brusilov, the commander of Taskforce: Sword; has ordered the Ammoriss PDF forces to help secure the refugee camps on Baron's Rest. Ork land forces have been spotted in the area of Camp Hope(Less). The Colonel has ordered a general levee of refugees to help in the camp's defense. This has led to a mixed force of PDF forces and local militia.

The Orks have been attracted to the region due to the flat, dessert region making a great place to race their Truks and karts. They see the refugee camp as an easy source of slaves to nick to take to Skarbashz Fort to trade. As such, the appearance of the PDF and militia has put a small wrinkle in their plans, but an enjoyable one. They are eager for a good scrap!
