Editing Taros Campaign (section)

==The Invasion==

Admiral Kotto and his fleet deployed for Taros, with the [[Raptors (Chapter)|Raptors space marine Chapter]], and about half the regiments they had. After arriving to no enemy resistance, the Raptors surged ahead to begin the invasion of the planet. A Missile silo designated "Decima" was bombarded. Then followed up by Assault Squads (Strike Force A) deployed from high orbit. Scouts would relay any intel they could about the enemy position, serving as a vanguard for the Marine attack. The Assault marines would eliminate AA defenses, before calling in Tactical and Devastator squads (Strike Force B-C) to eliminate enemy resistance and plant [[melta]] charges to destroy the silo roofs and collapse them. They would then push in as a whole and eliminate the remaining enemy forces. A Separate two squads of Tactical Marines (Strike Force D) would stay behind to act as reinforcements or a rearguard for the committed units.

The plan had to be changed shortly after the scout elements revealed that heavy weapons platforms had been added since the last time the site had been inspected. Instead, Strike Forces B and C were to abandon their task of eliminating the Silos, a task that now fell to Strike Force D, and the 6th company was put on standby for tactical reserves to replace them.

The Plan [[just as planned|went without a Hitch, a complete success]]. Silo Decima was silenced, and Armored units of the Raptors were rushed down to protect the landing site of the Imperial Guard.
