The Mantis Warriors failed in their attempt to throw the Salamanders off Bellerophon's Fall, but that does not mean they do not have some other nasty tricks up their sleeves!
The Story So Far
The Salamanders had begun their landings on Bellerophon's Fall, but they were hardly unopposed. A Mantis Warriors counter-attack had been blunted but the Secessionists were now splintering their armies and fading into the wilderness of Bellerophon's Fall. From hidden bases and through the use of long-ranged patrols, the Mantis Warriors came back time and again to hit the Salamanders where the Loyalists least expected it.
Setting up a small staging post to continue their advance to more valuable targets, the Salamanders gathered supplies and ammunition in preparation for their next push. Seizing their chance, the Mantis Warriors attacked, with the dual aim of depriving the Salamanders of much needed equipment while adding to their own armouries with weapons and ammunition taken from their enemies.
This was an important part of the Mantis Warriors' overall strategy, as even now the Marines Errant were moving into orbit to start their own landings, and both Codicier Senufu and Captain Fulani led the raid.
