The Siege of Vitralis Prime

The hive world of Cinerus is a choking furnace of smoke and steel, its skies forever dark with ash storms and the glow of furnace fires. Billions of souls labor here in ceaseless toil, feeding the Imperium’s endless demands for weapons, minerals, and blood. At its heart rises Hive Vitralis Prime, the capital and mightiest hive of the world. Once famed for its stained-glass cathedrals, Vitralis is now a place of broken windows and blackened spires, where holy light struggles to pierce the smog. Yet even in its decay, the hive remains the seat of planetary power; a prize beyond measure for those bold or desperate enough to claim it. Your kill teams will stalk the shadowed districts of this crumbling colossus. Battles will rage in manufactorum substations choked with sparks and fumes, shrine districts echoing with the chants of the faithful, underhive habs where gangs prowl the dark, transit nodes carved with old rail lines, data-vaults humming with forbidden secrets, and slag pits belching heat and poison. Every strike carves territory from a rival. Every base of operations is a foothold in the endless struggle for survival. And when the enemy drives you to your last refuge, you will stand your ground within your stronghold, where the walls themselves carry the weight of your faction’s survival. This is the war for Hive Vitralis Prime. This is the fight for the soul of Cinerus. And there will be no mercy.
