Summary: The planet of Augusta Prime is a fortress world in SEgmentum Obscurus and a critical link in the supply chain supplying the few worlds currently resting the 13th Black Crusade. For this reason it was targeted by Chaos marauders. By the grace of the Emperor the Cadian 5th were on their way back to reinforce their home world after 2 years spent battling the tyrannids on the Eastern fringe. When they arrived the Marauders had conquered majority of the planet. After fierce fighting the 5th managed to retake the primary city and spaceport. The massive conflict is beginning to attract the attention of multiple clans of irks but by the grace of the Emperor an Imperial Battle Group under the joint command of The ultramarines and Salamanders chapters is also on its way to reinforce the defenders.
