ADMIRAL DINOLA: What follows is a translation of an intercepted Tau transmission. It appears to be private correspondence between a junior Tau officer and a family member on one of the Tau Sept worlds. It offers an interesting description of a skirmish between the Tau and the orks […]
“The port city of Pradeep was attacked today by Tau invaders. A valiant defense by our brave troops managed to throw back the xeno invaders with heavy casualties.”—Imperial News Report, 3 857 736.M41.
