Editing The Campaign Of Astral Woe (section)

==Starting Point==
''"It began well enough, at least."''

'''Grand Officer of the Legion, Sergei'''


Paying tribute to the Emperor, [[Alexandri of Rosskar|Alexandri]] sent his newly reconstructed and rebuilt Legion into the stars with their Strelky support. The new philosophy in combat from using both Astartes and human soldiers side by side was instrumental to the rapid success that followed as the Expedition fleets took planet after planet. There was hope that this would continue when the Mastodontii and Silver Cataphracts joined together for a campaign into the difficult cluster of systems which refused to acknowledge the Imperium's authority. It did not help that several Xenos raiders existed in the area, wreaking havoc on those worlds sworn to the Imperium using the area as a base.

[[Tollund Ötztal]] and Alexandri of Rosskar met several times, discussing their battle plans and means of entry into the now mapped out area of the Lenard Deeps. The sector had to be taken, as it opened up new ways into the Segmentum Obscurcus along stable warp-lines. No doubt the calmness and strength of these paths had allowed numerous human empires to grow up in this region of space. The three which stood out were the Technocracy of Rosean, the Grand Principality of Devkar, and the Confederacy of Worlds. Several alien factions including the arachnoid Stelvi and the amphibious Gaggosh were prolific among a dozen of systems each.
