REALMS OF ULTRAMAR Chronicled By ( Shadow Guard ) |
SEGMENTUM ULTIMA |
Triple System of Quintar, Tarantus & Masali These three worlds orbit around a common center of gravity, similar to that of the Earth and its moon. All three are agri-worlds and prime examples of how such worlds should be managed. They contain massive horticultural cities protected by immense domes, which separate them from the arid environment outside. (Ref: Codex Ultramarines, 2nd ed;) In recent times Masali was the target of an unprovoked Eldar attack, in which humans were massacred without reason in an unprecedented fashion. Ultramarines responded rapidly sending in a strike force. The eldar continued their customary rapid strike concept, aiming to push the ultramarines on the defensive by attacking their logistics. At such a logistics base, Force Commander Sewell, leading a couple of tactical squads and his Landraider Prometheus, first held the Eldar attack, then brought in the rapid response reinforcements to crush the enemy in a pincer. A classic example of the worth of the Land Raider prometheus was demonstrated in this action. (Ref: Citadel Journal #41; page 28-29) |
