2/1-2003 – Andeonium Hive

Andeonium Hive is roughly circular, with large habunits and mining facilities on the lower floors. The main Chaos force attacked from the South, with contingents of Alpha Legion and World Eaters circled round and advanced from the East and West. PDF troops held the city, but were harassed by Daemon and guerrilla forces. The Aeldari arrived from the Northwest at the same time as the loyalist Space Marines arrived from the East.

From an unknown source, a formidable force of Tyranids appeared in the western part of the research facilities on the upper levels, as well as some Drukhari raiders.

1/1-2003 – War on Rhoie

But Abaddon had still an unknown agenda as he directed the rest of his forces to the industrial world of Rhoie deeper in the system. This world was an important merchant world with rich mineral resources and a large spaceport. Abaddon swiftly crushed the port and landed his remaining forces on the planet, where they met stiff resistance from the local PDF and militia. The larger cities were also protected by large force fields, which were more than a match for Abaddon’s orbital barrage. As the invasion swiftly ground to a stalemate, more Aeldari and Space Marines appeared. The Blood Angels and Black Templars that had chased Abaddon arrived after defeating Abaddon’s rearguard and sent reinforcement to the loyal troops on the surface.

But then Abaddon sprang his surprise as all over the planet, local guerrilla and terrorist troops led by Alpha Legion Chaos Space Marines began attacking the force field installations and power plants. Soon, only the largest hive, Andeonium, stood. The few Aeldari troops along with the imperial and Chaos Space Marines began to converge on the hive for a final showdown.
