THE BEGINNING OF THE END
I used to be a great commander of the Tau. A young race with highly advanced technology. I was a Shas'O the highest rank of the Tau military. Now they call me a traitor to the greater good a demon. My name is Or'Es'Shi or in Gue'la Powerful Victory but to my people I am now called Mont'Au or in Gue'La The Terror. This is my story.
" Shas'O Or'Es'Shi come in." Said Kor'O Kais.
" Shas'O Or'Es'Shi here. What is it?" I said.
" Are you in your battlesuit?" Said Kais.
" No," I said.
" Good an Orca class dropship is heading to your position." Said Kais.
" Alright patch me through to the pilot." I said.
" Kor'Ui Y'Eldi here our ETA is .05 Decs." Said Y'Eldi.
" Good pilot, How many do you got on board?" I said.
" With you I'll have 13 Fire Warriors and there are 30 devilfish with 12 Fire Warriors each their ETA is .15 Decs. Also there are 2 Battle Cruisers in orbit with 100 Orca dropships each, about 13 can get in each of those. So you got some serious firepower with those Cruisers in orbit. Oh I almost forgot there is another cruiser with 500 Battlesuits on its way." Said Y'Eldi.
" Damn that's some serious firepower. Where are the Hammerhead gunships?" I said.
" Sorry those are on the cruisers I believe we have 300 Hammerheads, 150 Piranha fighters, and 50 Skyrays." Said Y'Eldi.
" Good, What weapons will my Fire Warriors have?" I said.
" Each squad has some of the newest weapons for the Fire Warriors. Each squad will have 5 pulse rifles, 3 pulse carbines, 1 burst cannon, 1 plasma cannon, and 2 Rail rifles." Said Y'Eldi.
" Why so much Fire Power the only thing on this planet are Imperial guards?" I said.
" We are going to another planet on the edge of our Empire. Our recon tells us that there are about 1000 Imperial guards with heavy weapons and artillery. So the Ethereals gave us orders to get you to lead the assault on the planet." Said Y'Eldi.
" Alright I see you coming in Or'Es'Shi out." I said. When the Ship landed the hatch opened up and I was met by my new bodyguards. We greeted each other in the traditional Tau way and we lifted of to head for the Cruiser. We arrived at the cruiser and were greeted by the crew.
" Hello Shas'O," said Kais.
" Hi how long until we head for the planet?" I asked.
"Immediately," Said Kais. We left the system and headed toward the target planet. When we were in orbit I briefed the Fire Warriors under my command on the mission. When the briefing was over I ordered everyone into their ships and prepare for the drop into the unknown territory of our new battlefield.
