>>5575970Subsector Deus, the Core Worlds of the Sector, have poured forth a huge support. Lord General Drakkon Ursus is not just the Styrian Crusade's High Strategist and most senior Imperial Guard officer, he is also the Governor of the mighty Fortress World of Athena Prime. Now that he is assured of your full support behind the Styrian Crusade, Drakkon orders his world to prepare the mobilisation of an additional four million combat troops plus necessary support elements, bringing their total Crusade contribution to five million. There are also pledges from the other Core Worlds, including a handful of glory-seeking Spireborn regiments from Tachion Primaris itself. But the overwhelming majority comes from Athena Prime.
The one million Athenian troops already involved in the Crusade are on Kruun, pacifying the remaining resistance under the command of Lieutenant General Ulias Kreen.
This new contribution arrives under the command of General Olfred Von Richter - one of Athena Prime's most well-regarded officers from a legendary military dynasty - who has been a trusted member of Drakkon's planetary command staff for decades.
Subsector Adamantis. Almost immediately upon hearing of Athena Prime's new voluntary contribution, Lord General Militant Lucas Xerant commands an additional million troops from his homeworld of Adamant Prime to join the four million already involved, to ensure their contribution is at least on par with any other. As Lord General Militant of Sector Deus, Lucas could theoretically order any world to send as many forces as he demanded. But such an act is sure to cause mass unrest so he sticks to ordering troops from Adamant Prime, a world his Dynasty have ruled for millennia. This extra million soldiers is added to the Adamantian force already being commanded in the Styrian Crusade by General Gwendoline Xerant, one of his eldest daughters.
