Inquisitor Damiano,

We reached the orbit of Mulciber IX with no problems. Our preliminary scan results on the planet's surface showed no hostile installations and we proceeded with the reconnaissance as ordered. Our patrol squad has been deployed near the Iris V field, to avoid the ongoing storm in the region of Achilles.

After two days on the planet, our patrol task force came across some weird readings on their scans and followed their trails but only to find themselves moving in circles. It seems that the ongoing electromagnetic storm on the planet, is messing up with our Auger Array scans.

We engaged the enemy and they seemed as surprised as we were, for not being alone on this planet. The combat was fierce.... bla bla

I believe that this patrol force was not alone on this planet and there must be a reason why they are here and its surely not by a navigational mistake. 

They seemed they were looking for something.

Introduction

The mantle of Hecate, is a live Warhammer 40k Crusade campaign (10th edition) between some good friends in Greece and will be narrated from the perspective of the Imperium side. 

The Crusade will be divided in chapters and every chapter will be divided in missions. For every mission, there will be a narrative battle report with the outcome of the mission and the experience phase. After every experience phase, an updated "Order of Battle" and "Crusade Card" for each participant armies, will be posted.

The Crusade will take place in the fictional "Pandemonium System" and it's major planets "Mulciber IX", "Stygian II" and Mammon VI". The main story will be build upon the outcomes of the actual battles that will take place between the participant players. 

The participant armies will not be presented from the start, to maintain the aspect of surprise for the reader and the players.
