The Adeptus Mechanicus, devout followers of the Cult of the Machine God, have long revered the Omnissiah, even predating the arrival of the Imperium on their homeworld of Mars. Guided by the Omnissiah's teachings, they have tirelessly pursued their calling—to acquire knowledge and utilize it to expand their understanding. It was through their ingenuity that the Imperium was able to conquer the galaxy ten millennia ago and maintain its dominion to this day.
Gladius Prime, like many Hive Worlds, belonged more to the Adeptus Mechanicus than to the Imperium itself. Its cities, satellites, and desolate regions were all constructed using the technology of Mars and held allegiance solely to the Adeptus Mechanicus—to the very core of your organization. Thus, it was a relatively straightforward task to conceal your research on the Tyranids within a secure facility hidden deep beneath the planet's ashen wastes.
However, your sanctuary has been breached, your Skitarii forces scattered, and your subjects have escaped. Now, your mission is to rebuild, recover, and seize the secrets of Gladius Prime for your own. The Omnissiah Himself has bestowed upon you this critical task, and you must not falter in fulfilling it.
