The year is 100 M42, the mighty Tau empire continues to spread its dominance from world to world at a alarming rate. During a fast campaign east from their sphere of influence, the tau conquered the planet of Mon'kun, a planet rich with valuable minerals.
In a matter of years the tau successfully colonize the planet and begin to mine its resources, as hundreds of giant drills begin to pierce the planets surface, the unaware Earth caste drill right into a Necron tomb, awakening the undead horrors within. The Necrons begin to march out of a large cave, quickly slaughtering all miners in the area, but not fast enough to stop one from sending out a distress signal.
The Ethereal is quick to act and send on of their new and brightest commanders to handle this new threat. Can the Tau destroy the Necron threat? Or be swept away in a sea of death and despair.
Tau briefing
--
Greetings, honorable Shas'o. If I am correct this is the first time you are commanding a force alone? But if the Ethereal trusts you, then so shall I. These “Necrons” as the other races like to call them, are emerging from underground at a alarming rate. We have never encountered this threat before, but that does not mean we cannot win. Engage Necron forces outside of the caves, when successful, advance underground and find the source of these abominations, and eliminate this threat.
Necron briefing
--
Awaken, My kin. Awaken and destroy the flesh of the living. This young and insolent race has intruded on our tomb world, and I, the powerful Night Bringer, have chosen you to exact death upon my new enemy. Awaken your brothers, and march from your crypts to destroy these “Tau.”. Let none escape, leave none alive.
Mission one: prologue (This mission is a prologue mission and is the exact same for both sides.)
Mission type: Annihilate
Tau objective: The Mon'kun 32nd Fire caste led by the new and inspiring Shas'o, must engage all Necron forces outside of the crypt, you must not let the Necrons gain a foothold in this war, destroy the aggressors and then prepare to mount a invasion of the underworld, battle the Necron forces until you have reached their tombs, and then destroy the source.
Necron objective: The Tomb world of Mon'Kun has been disturbed, Emerge from your caves and destroy this new intruder. The mission is simple. Kill them all and gain a foothold to advance into their towns and cities, until none are alive.
Necrons manage to scrape up a victory, unused to movement after millions of years of silence. As more awaken, they repair their loss, and march onwards towards the Tau village.
