OOC: now we are getting somewhere loll

Cruiser Bridge leading the ground invasion forces destroyers an escort’s flotilla protecting the transports

The fleet moved away from the raging void battle seeing the greatest explosion of one the finest ships the imperial navy put under Patton command; it was a day after the explosion the fleet is now moving into orbit and ground invasion operations.

Tiberius: planet status?

CPT: major activity sir chaos at every turn

Tiberius: our picked LZ and DZ's status?

CPT: thermals have it clear but chaos marines and the assorted chaos soldiers are smart enough to fool some of our equipment...I fear an ambush

Tiberius: Understood, and what of the enemy anti-aircraft and ship weapons on the planet?

CPT: scanners an imaging and reports from the azure legion say there’s nothing of the sort down there to obscure our orbital ops

Tiberius: good, captain I’ll be leaving the planets protection to you until patron’s bigger ships join us for a blockade

CPT: yes sir!!

Tiberius: are we in atmosphere?

CPT: by the time we load up Valkyries and prep orbital weapons we should be

Tiberius: good get it done!
