Feud of the Red Clouds
Turn 3: Softening Up
15 seconds to target.-Attributed to:HweVereTormentor Pilot
The latest phase of the Feud of the Red Cloudswas a savage affair. The war struck hard at the
inhabitants of Rutilus as the various factions
began bombing the aerial platforms. Now, not
just pilots were in the line of fire, but the tech-
adepts and menials as well. The war began to
take a heavy toll on machines, materials and
personnel.
Again, the forces of Mistress Merciebvaux werepushing hard to destroy all resistance. However,
everywhere they were met with stiff opposition.
The forces of Boss Badaxe and Magos Archivaldpushed back just against the Chaos advance hard.
Eager to take control of the planet themselves.
Boss badaxe used his typical ork savagery and
cunning, while Magos Archivald looked to his Tau
allies for aid.
The continuing assault by Mistress Mercievaux
and Magos Cy Belle seems impossible to
maintain. Commander Plegabo and EirYuan theCorsair Prince seem all too willing to let the
Chaos forces vent their fury early, and counter-
attack once they are spent.

++Sit Rep by Region++
Warzone 1: Station LambdaThe distance between Station Lambda and
Station Severus is vast. Only the largest
bombers could make the trip without refueling.
Plus, the Tau air blockade of the outer edges of
Station Severus makes the task of flying a
bomber from Severus to Lambda almost
impossible.
However, Lambda is just a much a target of
Mistress Mercievauxs war plans as any of the
other stations. As part of her all-out assault,
Tormentor bombers have been deployed to bases
on the area of Station Alpha. From these hard
won forward-operating bases they have been
deployed on long range raids into the regions
around Station Lambda.
However, to date the Eldar forces in Lambda
have been able to easily intercept and turn backthese forays into their airspace. Due to the
distances involved, only minimal fighter support
has been available to protect the Tormentors, and
the unprotected bombers have proven no match
for the Corsair interceptors.
Despite their success at clearing the airspace
around Station Lambda, the corsairs are
expereincing their own internal unrest. Thenumbers of Dark Eldar participating in the
campaign continue to rise. This has unsettled
many of the more orthodox members of the
Eldar expedition.
These internal tensions have forced Eiryuan to
consider moving to a stronger offensive footing
earlier than he had planned. The corsair prince
had been all too willing to keep his rivals
battling for control of Station Alpha and letting
them expend their numerical superiority on each
other, rather than his smaller numbers.
However, the growing unrest from his allies and
the Dark Eldar themselves have caused him to
consider using the Dark Eldar raiders to spearhead
a targeted offensive. Exactly where and how is
still to be decided.

Warzone 2: Station RoAround Station Ro, the Feud of the Red Clouds
remained quiet. Envoy Twala and her allies
strategy was to attack outwards, and to keep their
enemies at arms reach has proven to be
successful. No new attacks were directed at the
Tau and theirGuela allies.
Chaos forces had managed to implant themselves
in scattered pockets around Station Ro.
However, the Tau air blockade in the outer ring of
Severus has cut of support to these Chaos
outposts. Therefore, they have been unable to
launch further attacks, and have been conserving
their fuel, foodstuffs, and aircraft for a potential
future assault.
Pockets of Ork elements within the area of Ro
have also been oddly quiet. Perhaps, so far away
from the over sight of Boss Badaxe, they haveinstead turned toward petty internal disputes?
Either way, they have not pressed the attack with

typical Ork ferocity.
Without the harassing attacks from Chaos and
the Orks; the Tau have been able to focus on
upgrading Guela aircraft to help in the defense
of Station Ro, and upgrading the air defense
systems of the station.
In addition, the Air and Fire caste warriors have
begun planning the next phase of their attacks
into the region around Station Severus. They
plan to capitalize on the gains made by their air
blockade, and attempt to cripple the Chaos threat
at its heart.
Controlled by: Tau
Warzone 3: Station Alpha
After a difficult week of sustained air attack and
dogfights through out the warzone, this stage of
the campaign has been relatively quiet. Chaosand Ork forces have solidified their hold over the
region, leaving only the immediate airspace
surrounding Station Alpha in Imperial hands.
The situation for the Imperials is rather desperate,
as resources have begun to run low, and siege of
the xenos and traitors has taken its toll. Routine
air patrols have become harder for Imperial forces
to maintain, as spare parts and routine
maintenance has become difficult.
Thankfully, the Space Elevator of Station Alpha
has been able to keep the defenders able to
resupply badly needed foodstuffs and water from
the Imperial logistical support of Taskforce 351.
For there part, the Chaos and Ork forces had
mostly eyed each other across the turbulent
airspace of Warzone 3. Both sides have seemedcontent to consolidate their position, and fortify
the gains they made in the initial attack waves.
How long this unofficial peace can hold is
unclear.
To complicate things, Dark Eldar Raiders are still
being sighted in the region. However, they have
not offered battle. Many strategists believe they
are gathering intelligence for future xeno attacks.
Controlled by: Disputed
Warzone 4: Station Epsilon
The skies around Station Epsilon have been some
of the most hotly contested airspace during the
Feud of the Red Clouds. The last cycle was no
exception as Chaos forces attempted to cripple the
Orks to such a degree as to knock them out of the
war. The Orks have responded in typicallu Ork
fashion. By trying to kill stuff.

4/7
Like much of the Chaos efforts on Rutilus, the
Chaos attack around Station Epsilon focused on
Tormentor bombing raids. However, unlike near
Station Lambda; these raids were heavily
supported by chaos fighter cover all the way to
the target zone.
As a result, Chaos Tormentor raids were farmore effective around Station Epsilon than in
other warzones. They exacted a heavy toll on
Ork construction facilities, gas harvesting
stations, and other key logistical targets.
These raids also provided another useful
purpose. They provided valuable intelligence
about the true depth of the Orks power. As the
Feud grinds on, the death match between the
Orks and traitors has settled into a war of
attrition. On Station Severus, there are some
quiet whispers about there own ability to keep up
with the growing logistical demands of the
escalating Feud.
Another key piece of information the Raids have
uncovered is the poor command-and-control Ork
forces possess. It is not uncommon for some
raids to face no resistance, and others to beoverwhelmed by Ork fightas on route to the
target.
This weakness in command-and-control may
leave the Orks vulnerable to feint attacks.
However, so far Chaos forces have not been able
to capitalize on these weaknesses.
Controlled by: In Dispute
Warzone 5: Station Severus
The airspace around Station Severus has remained
securely in Chaos hands. No one has seriously
challenged them in this region. However, Ork
pockets have penetrated the outer edges, and the
Tau aligned forces have managed to place a
limited air blockade around some outlyingstations.
These small pockets of resistance have proven to
be no major impediment to continued air
operations from Severus. However, Magos Cy-
Belle has pressed Mistress Merceivaux to expel
these elements from the outlying platforms. His
argument is that the sustained push to capture all
of Rutilus is being hampered by a lack ofsupplies. In the short run, this problem is
negligible, but as the war continues to fall into a
protracted war of attrition these supply restrictions
could prove decisive. So far, his pleas have
mostly been ignored as his Mistress has focused
on spreading the war to all corners of Rutilus.
The growing strategic disputes inside the Chaos
command bunker may prove to be a decisive final
element in the outcome of the war. So far, the
coalition of traitors, renegades, mercenaries, and
heretics has managed to hold strong. However, in
the face of stagnation and lack of clear victory; it
may splinter as each warlord attempts to gain their
own advantages from the ongoing Feud of the
Red Clouds. This could prove be a point that
other factions can exploit in the coming days of
the war.

Conclusion
With the latest stage of the Feud of the Red
Clouds wrapping up, many of the Aerial
Platforms of Rutilus have been left in ruins,
defense emplacements destroyed, and storage
facilities devastated. This state of affairs leaves
them ripe for air assault, and to then springboard
to the next. This type of platform hopping
campaign will ultimately lead to the fall of the
Great Stations.
Ork and Chaos forces are well positioned for
such a campaign, and they have already made in
roads into a number of warzones. The forces ofChaos have pushed hard into the territory of
Station Alpha and Epsilon, but have also made
their presence felt in Ro and Lambda.
The Orks have been a serious problem around
Station Alpha. They have also raided and looted
in the regions of Ro and Severus. However, in
the case of the Orks, this has left their own
Station Epsilon potentially vulnerable to attack,as the Ork menace flies outward looking for a
good scrap.
The Tau have also made some inroads into other
warzones. However, their efforts have mostly
left a lighter footprint. They have effectively.
thrown air blockades around support platforms for
Station Severus and Epsilon
The Eldar have been secure in Station Lambda,
slowly uncovering and dismantling the work of
the former owners. Their raids have extended into
the battles swirling around Station Alpha as well.
However, for the most part they have been an
isolated foe.
Meanwhile, the Imperials of Taskforce 351 and
Magos Deanarus are on the back foot. They have
barely managed to keep the Orks and Traitors
from directly attacking Station Alpha. A trickle of
reinforcement sand supplies are flowing in, but
they are in no position to start a serious offensive
campaign without clawing back Station Alphas
territory first. However, Commander Plegabo is acunning logistician, and the Imperium is nothing
if not resilient,
The Feud of the Red Clouds is still far from over,
with no clear faction dominating the others. An
effective offensive here, and a poor defense there
could make the difference between victory and
defeat. Can the renegades rest control of the
planet from the loyalists? Will the xenos depose
those who have ruled Rutilus for so long? Only
you can help decide the outcome fo the Feud of
the Red Clouds.
