Within the massive Girza system, the forces of the Empire of Man and Chaos remain deadlocked in conflict. Each has a substantial foothold at either edge of the system and is attempting to push forward far into each other’s territory. One planet cluster is crucial to the Imperial advance: the Kantaen planets. Forge and fortress worlds all. The main focus of the fighting is on Kantaen Prime, the largest of the fortress worlds in the cluster. Kantaen Prime is taken up by a huge, walled city, spreading nearly the entire main continent of the planet with smaller outposts and settlements outside. Including a system of trenches for defensive purposes. The city is split into an eastern and western section by a series of bridges over a great chasm. Forces of Chaos, led by the Chaos general Derlek Scharl, have largely taken the western division of the city, while Imperial Guard forces have taken the eastern.

To boost defensive power and hopefully keep Scharl’s forces at bay, several regiments of the Death Korps of Krieg have been deployed into the trenches and Steel Legion armored regiments patrol the city. The Death Korp regiments have succeeded in keeping Chaos at bay, but believe they may soon have to fall back due to the massive damage the forward trenches have taken. The Imperial High Command in the system hopes to soon be able to stop the Chaos advance and begin their own to locate and remove Scharl, thus breaking the spine of the Chaos forces in the Kantaen cluster.
