Hi all, this is my first story. I have gotten permission/asked by TLH (The Lone Hunter), so ask him if you have any doubts, (I'll try and get him to post a review to confirm this).

Okay so far a group of Imperials have found a data recorded and now 'watching' the contents. As you can't see a film in words, you are just going to have to read ^_^. ANY reviews would be appreciated (unless you're simply out to get me XD).

In the far flung reaches of the Imperium of Man, along the Eastern Fringe, the system of Marnel sits, Isolated between the Imperium of Man, and the rapidly expanding Tau Empire. Marnel has 6 planets that orbit a Blue Star system. Marnel I lies' in a very low decaying orbit around the Star, slowly melting away as it plunges to oblivion. The planet once held a now lost civilisation, a loss felt by their entire people, across the galaxy no matter where they were at the time of their demise. Marnel II was destroyed in a Apocalyptic battle, in an age long forgotten and largely unknown by the Younger races, the remains of which now form a giant spherical dust ball, which protects Marnel V from the harsh light of the Star. Marnel III and IV are in the same orbit as each other, although be it at opposite sides. Marnel II and III are both metallic planets, which are superheated by the suns rays to a point where they glow white hot, enough to light up Marnel V with their glow. Marnel Vs only light source is from II and III. Marnel V takes 22 Terran hours to rotate, and receives light that would seem similar to what Terra would get on its surface today - if it was not so ridden with smog and such like, with night and day very similar to Terra as well. The major difference is that Marnel V is a dead world, covered in dessert and flat planes, until recently, where a group of Imperials settled their after being cast out of the Imperium classed as cowards for not fighting to the death against a splinter Hive Fleet of Leviathan. However most of the desert is based on rocky outcrops, where large parts of the surface of the planet had collapsed onto itself, where it is too dangerous to go and scout. The planet has a few make shift towns made from the civilian transports who managed to escape both the Tyranids and Space Marines wrath. Marnel VI is nothing more than a simple large asteroid, with no interest to the Imperium.

Not long after the Imperials set up on Marnel V, did a Tau emissary make contact with them. The Imperials had started mining the planet and had found very rare and strange green crystals. The emissary, traded a few basic supplies for a sample of the crystals, and it was found by Earth Caste Technicians, that these crystals, could be used with Vespid weapons, once treated with a special compound easily made to the Tau. As a result the miners started trading these crystals for supplies so that they could survive on the barren planet, as well a basic fire warrior weapons to defend themselves encase the some pirates came their way. None of the Imperials of the planet had heard of crystals of this type, apart from one person called Corenn who thought he had read something in his planets Libarium, that seemed familiar, but did not finish nor remember the text well, because first word of the Hive Fleet arrived via the Astropaths sudden struggle to send messages and a dark mass, of what they feared to look at was heading their way. He knew the signs all to well, as he was very familiar with Inqusitioner Kryptman's work, and he and a few others decided to flee before the Shadow in the Warp prevented escape.

However it was not until a year later that things started to truly get strange…
