Episode 8
'It is what we do best. We die standing.'
Welcome to Zevros Prime, a world in the midst of rebellion against the Imperium of Man. Trouble began nearly a decade ago, rumor has it that the Tau infiltrated indoctrinated humans into the populace that then began to cause trouble. Zevros Prime has always been a slightly resentful world, having been the seat of a small empire millennia ago, before it was battered down and rightly absorbed by the Imperium. The generations since have always held some resentment over the fact. It is believed that the Tau agents riled up these sentiments and began attacking PDF locations and forces, spurring the populace into open rebellion after local commanders came down harshly after each attack. It was not long after the rebellion spread across the planet that the Tau presence became more openly known.
The Tau Empire is yet to commit any real forces to the rebellion, something that is credited to the surprisingly rapid response by the Imperium. Before the first year had passed forces from the Imperial Guard were sent to aid the PDF, even if they were in generally small numbers. Still, the rebellions efforts are guided by seasoned Tau officers. The conflict is three years in and the odds still favor the rebels, though the Imperial Guard presence has recently been bolstered with the arrival of new regiments, as well as assistance sent by the other branches of the Imperium.
------------------------------------
Welcome to Episode 8 of In Service to the Imperium, the long standing(If short lived) rp series where you take up the role as a regimental commander in the Imperial Guard. As mentioned above this episode will focus on the putting down of a wide-spread rebellion that is backed by the Tau Empire, though not directly.
In this episode we will be allowing the players to pick between regiments, or powerful individual characters with attached retinues, though these would be decently small, but well above the skill and equipment of your standard Imperial Guardsmen. These characters can be from various other organizations within the Imperium, but there is a limit. Rouge Traders, Adepta Sororitas, Adeptus Mechanicus, and even the Inquisition. However, remember that being an Inquisitor or other of these types of characters does not mean you can do as you please within the rp, such as ordering around other characters and regiments without that players approval, or calling in massive amounts of other forces.
The roleplay will take place on the world of Zevros Prime, a slightly smaller then earth sized planet with a decent variety of biomes and terrain, from the vast marsh and swamp lands that dominate the equator region, to the temperate swaths of forests and mountains in the north. Map potentially in the works.

In reserve or deployed? (Basically if you want to start as sitting around and waiting to be sent to fight, or if you want to start in the thick of it. This is an option because I know some people lose interest in the generally long build ups before we get into actual combat. So if you want to have that build up, maybe enter into some military politics for a bit, choose to start out in reserve. If deployed you'll start out in the thick of it.)
