The Sather Campaigns were two seperate Imperial campaigns that involved the Astral Leviathans Space Marine Chapter and the vitally important hive world of Sather, located in the Orutan System.
History[]
First Sather Campaign[]
Still reeling from the loss of three companies during the Desecration of Mathrica campaign, the Astral Leviathans were forced into action due to the now classified Sather Anomaly on the hive world of Sather (Orutan System). The resulting conflict bled the chapter dry claiming the live of six penal legions and near 400 battle-brothers, leaving the chapter woefully under-strength, with less than 300 brothers-at-arms remaining, no penal legions and only ten suits of terminator armour. The planet was left a gas giant, the core destroyed, and all records sealed by the Inquisition.
Second Sather Campaign[]
In 836.M40, a small Word Bearers Warband fleet appeared at the edge of the Orutan System and began a bloody assault on the stations guarding Sather. The fighting had only lasted a mere twenty minutes before another enemy revealed itself. Amid the Imperial and heretical warships trading blows in open space, small Aeldari vessels attempted to cut through the carnage to the world below for unknown reasons. Soon after, a fleet of Angels Revenant appeared above the world and quickly broke the stalemate, cutting a swathe through the Heretic Astartes to relieve their embattled brethren. It is still unconfirmed if the Aeldari carried out their mysterious objectives.
