Chapter 9: The Refueling Station

 Standing as another Prequel to the conflicts already covered, we return to Ieaid planet-side. The Genestealers have continue to grow and gain strength, as they still remain basically hidden to the Imperial government of the planet.

Located in the back of beyond, somewhere between settlements, stands Arbites Station c-254 (right) and a Cargo-8 at the refueling station...

An Arbites Juve is beginning the refueling of the Cargo-8. The wastes are dangerous places, hence the defending firepower on the vehicle...
An Arbites in position of observation...
The Attackers, Acolyte Hybrids...
And Neophyte Hybrids...
The assault begins...
To the other side, the Acolytes...
The Arbites Juve and the rear Heavy Stub gunner take down one of the Acolytes, while the others make cover...
The Neophytes with a Seismic cannon, takes out the Cargo-8's Heavy Bolter gunner...
The unfortunate Arbites Juve goes down under heavy mining tools, while the Acolyte leader climbs up the side of the vehicle...
Just as the Arbites officer on the tower takes his first shots (unsuccessfully!) he goes up in flames from a Neophyte Hand Flammer...
Onboargo the Cargo-8, the two remaining gunners are lost to the Genestealers...
Corporal Koch is no more successful than the other defenders...
So, the Cultists first victory!
