Imperial Warships
crush Ork ships over Weiss !!
Siege lifted, reinforcements arrive.
A
three ship task force with accompanying escorts engaged two Terror
and two Kill Kroozers in deep space near the warp jump for Weiss.
Led
by the Dictator class Cruiser, Doña Celeste, the captain
of the ship never flinched from duty even after the Orks launched
a fearsome volley of torpedoes at long range. Here's an excerpt
from his log as shown to us by Imperial officers.
"We
showed them our armored prows to protect ourselves from their batteries.
I had earlier dispatched the Doña Aurora and Gold squadron
to flank them. I calmly ordered my fighters to take out their torpedoes
and fired a salvo of my own. After our ships passed each other,
we immediately swung hard to starboard and began blasting away at
their thinly armored rear. By this time the Doña Aurora had
arrived from the rear with her escorts, they gutted one Kroozer
while the Aurora's torpedoes took out the rest."

Of
the Ork ships only one managed to disengage from the battle - a
truly unknown occurrence. The shattering of the Ork forces has lifted
the naval blockade on Weiss. Supplies and reinforcements are already
being rushed in and have allowed Imperial commanders to plan an
offensive to drive out the Ork invaders. We shall continue to provide
coverage on this epic event.
Space
Wolves destroy Ork main supply dump.
Has the tide turned??
A
Space Wolf task force, using local guides, was able to penetrate
deep into the enemy lines and destroy the Ork munitions dump. Once
more led by the Venerable Dreadnought, which the Orks have dupped
"Da Doo Headed Dog", total suprise was attained.
In
order to prevent reinforcements from interfering, Part of the Space
Wolves group ambushed the arriving Ork troops which included one
of the Looted Basilisks. Though it was dangerous to separate his
forces, the Space Wolf commander gambled and won. Though the Space
Wolves suffered 30% fatalities it was dubbed a success. This coupled
with the success of the Imperial Navy in lifting the blockade has
given momentum in the drive to rid the planet of greenskins.
