Sunburst Bombardment

A Sunburst Bombardment is a Tau contingent plan that can be performed by orbiting Tau starships to aid friendly ground forces. Sunburst Bombardments are often used to aid in large-scale planetary assaults in the intial planetstrikes, and are often fired directly onto battlefields. When used, the skies flash with blinding white as the Tau launch a high tech of lumina flares at the foe; saturating and confusing automatic tracking stations with light. The shadow-haunted battlefield is illuminated starkly, each enemy stronghold now a beacon for the Tau's guns.
