The Saga Crusade

Taken by surprise on a sweep of the neighboring blocks by traitor forces in the city, a squad of Imperial White Shields find themselves surrounded.  Cut off from aid, their only hope is to hold out until reinforcements can break through. It looked as if all hope was lost for the young cadets when Sgt. Slater and his men broke through the enemy. Though taking heavy losses, the White Shields held out and made it to relative safety in a warzone overrun by enemy forces. 

Reports of riots and civil unrest have come in throughout the lower levels of Festungrad. Adeptus Arbiter enforcer squads have had no success in putting and end to the riots. Verrätor has ordered Astra militarum forces and Adeptus Astartes to put an end the unrest using any means necessary, but instead of unruly civilians or radical rebels the Imperial forces ran into Heretic Astartes and traitor guard of the 666th Infantry and Squad Tiamat of the Militarum Tempestus.

Sgt. Slater and his squad of White Shields flew low over Festungrad's streets toward their destination.  The Sergeant of red platoon's first squad looked over the fresh recruits in the valkyrie with him, and wondered if these recruits were ready. This was to be these White Shield's first real operation.  He cast a sidelong glance at the three men from 1st Squad that accompanied him, at least he would have some proven men at his side. Landing platform X-23 sat nestled in the city, close to the fighting in progress. This assignment was last minute, but deemed important by Sagan command. If any of the landing pads fell to the cultists it would seriously hamper the Sagan army from bringing their forces to bear on the enemy.  The moment the Valkyrie touched down, Slater barked the order to disembark the flyer. The White Shields executed the order flawlessly, taking up firing points around the pad. Suddenly...

Kill Team Tiamat Of all traitorous troops on Saga,none are so devious and brutal as Kill Team Tiamat.Drawn mostly from the dreaded Godsworn company Tempestus scions,these traitors were indoctrinated by the corrupt schola Progenium " Order of the Chattering Darkness". When The Perfect Path declared war on  the God-Emperor, The Godsworn came out of hiding and began the work they were born to do.

Sgt. Slater, of the 101st Sagan guard yellow company's red platoon 1st Squad, was ordered by his superiors to guard one of Festungrad's many landing pads. Before he shipped out his orders had changed to lead a squad of fresh White Shields instead of his normal squad.  Accompanying the Sergeant are his Vox operator Brendan, plasma gunner Smalls, and Marksman Trev. 

Olaf Bitterfrost and his scouts prepare to escort Tempestor Kane to safety for extraction, before they must resume the hunt.  Sven Keenear patrolling the ruins parameter picks up movement among the surrounding buildings, Cultists of the Perfect Path moving swiftly from cover to cover. Hulking forms of Astartes looming in the shadows.  "Ambush!!" Called Grey Padfoot over the comms from the other end of the building. The Wolves and their ally readied their weapons for the coming assault.  Xavier Twosoul strolled the streets surrounded by followers of the Perfect Path as they rushed towards the servants of the False Emperor. He was bored and couldn't wait to face the Imperial dogs in combat. He gripped his double bladed power sword tight at the thought of cleaving through the filthy Imperials.  Thule took up a position with the more heavily armed cultists.  His senses pulsing with combat elixer...
