Chapter IV - The Rains of Promise

++++++++ EMERGENCY TRANSMISSION - GRADE MXXIV

++++++++ From: Dietrick Armengarde, Rogue Trader, Captain of the Dies Suberbia

++++++++ Countersignal: ERROR

The emergency contigency has been increased to grade MXXIV now, due to several recent breaches in the hull. Emperor curse these warp phenomena! When we are not being plagued by horrific visions and nightmares we are instead being bombarded with debris launched from nowhere. Recently, another inactive imperial vessel suddenly arrived on a collision course. It was merely a smaller cargo ship which grazed us, but the impact tore away my personal quarters and armory. I cannot fathom the worth of relics that where now lost and scattered into the void or fell to the planet below. To add further insult to injury, the cargo ship where locked in orbit too far from us to be reached in a void suit, and none of our shuttles are operational. A possible salvation taunts us now, lingering so close that it feels like I could simply reach out and grasp it.

On Maelstrom Congeris the fight for survival rages on amongst all the traitors, xenos and heretics. These small, insignificant fools seems to have been able to escape the confines of the Hive. I will not waste my breath on the injustice that they enjoy freedom yet again while someone as noble as myself still are confined to his prison. Me and what remains of my personal advisors have taken to the habit of betting on the next actions of the small, insignificant creatures below. That, at least, gives us the taste of the power we deserve; betting trinkets on the lives of lesser beings.

The scattered pieces of my ship that rained down upon the planet does not seem to have gone unnoticed by them. Like vultures and vermin they now move towards the now flooded areas in hope of searching through the refuse of a much greater man than they will ever meet. New bets will be placed, although I personally hope that they will stumble upon the stasis field containing the Plague of Dynmeos so that I can laugh while their flesh melts from their bones.

Don't you dare meet me with more silence. I know that someone out there is recieving this, and if you know what is good for you, you will relay this to imperial officials this instant. I am an important member of the imperial society, a devout man who has always served the Emperor with fervor and I will not be ignored!

New special mission - What lies beneath...

Debris rains down upon the new coastline of Maelstrom Congeris, scattering down amongst the flooded ruins of the vast former city. The forces must brave to crimson shallows to see if anything recoverable has rained down. They will be surprised what the arsenal of a wealthy Rogue Trader may contain...

The mission uses the horizontal deployment  from the original missions 1,2 and 6 in the Kill Team rules.

The terrain of the board shall mainly be built out of ruins, with at least five larger open areas containing lesser cover (e.g chest-high walls). Place an objective in each of these open areas (preferably in a creater for the proper cinematic approach). Also, place makeshift walkways between ruins close to each other.

All open terrain on the ground level of the board are classed as Difficult Terrain, due to the waist-high crimson waters that covers the streets of the city. However, any unit that goes to ground in the waters recieves an additional +1 to their cover saves.

To win the mission, a player must hold more objectives than his/her opponent at the end of the game.

This scenario may be attempted up to three times per player. The winner of this scenario may generate a Legendary Weapon. Also, if the player already have a legendary weapon and rolls one of the same type (melee of ranged) then the player may choose to re-roll that result. The re-roll must be made immediately, before rolling any other stats for the weapon.  A player may only gain one legendary weapon during this week.
