Their largest periods of activity seemed to be around the time SILVAGUNNER was terminated, when they were hosting several unofficial VINESAUCE gaming events (which they assure you repeatedly are ''not'' official Tournaments and are in no way affiliated with JOEL). |

| }}The first full-scale campaign the legion participated in since it reunited with its primarch [[Uriel Starikov]], the Daicham campaign was never intended to even be a full deployment, as the legion was still adjusting to its new doctrine and in transit to a campaign it ''had'' been designated.
| |
| In late 817.M30 the Rogue Trader [[van Oranje Rogue Trader Dynasty|Jan Houtmann van Oranje]] made contact with a large human empire that spread across several sectors, who later sold his information to the Administratum after having brokered his way into being named as the sole intermediary between the Imperium and the newly discovered empire.
| |
| Based primarily the '''Daicham sector''' and known as the '''Daichampa Republic of Man''', the empire had a long history that could be traced back to the start of Old Night, and it had a deeply-rooted and highly revered culture and tradition going back juts as long. The Daichampa had a strong and well-equipped military, with a strange dichotomy of modern and ancient-traditional technology and philosophies.
| |
| When the Administratum sent diplomats to the empire's capital of '''Metnav I''', they were greeted with great ceremony and after a week of diplomatic pleasantries, taken to the ''Despot of Daicham'', '''Letaito Nagar'''. Despite the strength of the Daichampan military and the empire's long held traditions, Letaito Nagar was receptive to joining the Imperium. However, after some fierce negotiation on his future position in the Imperium, Nagar accepted Imperial rule, but on one condition. Nagar made a request to formally surrender his empire to the Emperor himself, or one of his lineage, and would not do so until given this respect.
| |
|
| |
|
| The XIIIth legion was en route to their first designated campaign, which would coincidentally travel into the vicinity of the Sudest-Ayza sector. So the Administratum sent word to [[Uriel Starikov]], requesting that he and a small honour guard divert to accept Nagar's surrender formally, before regrouping with their forces at their campaign target.
| | They operated out of the SilvaGunner YouTube channel until it was terminated in 2014, after which they appear to have transitioned briefly to GiivaSunner in September of 2016 before returning to SilvaGunner in June of 2018. |
| Uriel was reluctant to accept, claiming he had had no time to conduct even basic reconnaissance or study the empire first. But after some negotiation agreed, and diverted with a small cadre of his legion to the Sudest-Ayza. The Administratum had provided Uriel with a plethora of their collected intelligence, and assured him over great length, that no further action would be necessary other than diplomacy. In transit to the Daicham Sector, Uriel's fleet ran into a small training battalion of the [[Iron Rangers]] who had been stranded in the void. The Iron Ranger's battleship had been crippled after their ships' Gellar Field was breached in warp-transit; they had narrowly avoided an unenviable fate by undertaking an emergency warp-exit. Fortunately, they suffered minimal casualties, but the ship sustained serious damage to its hull and engines.
| |
| Uriel took the Iron Ranger battalion onto his small fleet, offering to provide the legion transport to the nearest spaceport for repairs after completing his diplomatic mission.

| | |
| Rest of 13th legion reverse course and head for their primarch on Metnav I.
| |
| | |
| Uriel meanwhile eventually hits great success with his plans and manages to instigate a massive simultaneous offensive that captures a several key points and besieges all the rest.
| |
| | |
| Arrival of rest of 13th legion forces Empire to pull out of their capital, to face the new threat.
| |
| | |
| Campaign itself is over in a matter of days. But with the 'Metnav Incident' entire campaign lasts several months - nearly the whole year.
