=================FOR THE EYES OF THE IMPERIAL SENATE ONLY=================
YEAR 5011 A.D.
To the valiant and steadfast Senators on Byzantium Secundus, Greetings.
Once more it is my pleasure to bring to you news from the cold alien world of Apshai and the battle reports of the Garrison Invasion. Always we march to war under the Pancreators watchful gaze and with his Grace we have brought honor and victories to the Empire. Before I speak of our latest progress however, it would be remiss of me to not inform you more of our forces.
This is our main center of operations, built up from humble beginnings from the desolate ruins of the first hive purged we have expanded the Garrison Sector and have claimed this region forevermore for the Empire. All holdings have been fortified with anti-aircraft defenses, for the Symbiot constantly probe our lines for weakness with their flying Spitters. The forts that protect the crossings also contain many howitzer batteries that have proven their worth against any skirmishers sent against us. To the left is the main contingent of our ground forces, the 1st Apshai Crusaders.
As you can see, the Garrison has long boasted that they contain the finest warriors in all the Galaxy, rivaling even the Palace Guards of the Imperial Palace on Byzantium. With these units at our core the Symbiots simply cannot best us in open combat. Rarely do the minions of evil face us in fair battle though, for we must seek them out if we wish to do more than batter aside their feints and cowardly hit and run attacks.
A great many of the Bothan Reconnaissance Squads died to bring you this information. If you did not believe me before of the danger these creatures pose, you must accept the facts presented. The beasts are almost unmatched in close combat to a normal human, the tides of combat turn quite rapidly against us if bomb and flame do not destroy the abominations before they can reach our ranks. Only the fearsome capabilities of the Assault tanks and the Warrior Legions can best their rending claws.
But fear not noble Senators, for victory I promised and thus did we achieve. Destroying the first of the Primus Hives.
It began at first light under cloud choked skies, the very heavens parted as the righteous fury of our beam lances from the cruisers overhead smote the teeming nests. The barrage almost destroyed all of the hideous carapace vehicles and greatly demoralized the enemy. With a signal from the Grandmaster the guns of the Violator thundered holy vengeance and burned many of the horde as the hives vomited forth their spawn. Great ordered lines of armored infantry cut deadly swathes into the clustered foe as they charged up the barren hill where we had placed our banners. But even with all our greatest weapons spent did the creatures rally and it seemed that their fury would destroy us.
Were it not for the towering giants of the Warrior Legions. Uncloaking the Rangers erupted in the midst of the horde and smote a great many of the surprised beasts and cut off the Minder leaders from their many slaves. Confused, battered and leaderless the demons finally turned to flee and we did enjoy crushing the evil that had sought to consume us.
Another success to add to the long legacy of the Garrison. Soon the tundra and icy forests of Apshai will be freed from the shrieking of the Symbiot devils, we now march under storm to the south where the remaining hives await our holy cleansing. Rejoice Lords and Ladies of the Empire, victory is at hand!
