written blurb from: 

From their perspective in the ruined truck yard, the Momcapram could see the green lines of the Zameeni infantry dug into the plain. Huge craters and gouges marred the
land, while the burnt out shapes of villages and refinery points dotted in between.


Captain Laila watched dull explosions sound and the rapid exchange of the las rounds before them. Despite being two miles away, her augmented left eye was able to magnify by a great deal, allowing for better definition of the hellish landscape and the desperate fighting beyond.

She sucked air through the rebreather that replaced her missing jaws. Never had she imagined this was where she would be. She’s always thought as a small girl that she’d be tending the moisture farms or running a carpet stall by this age, with a family to boot. But her duty to the Emperor had called her. She now stood on an alien world, a battle hardened captain of thirty.

Something caught her eye and she focused. A line of cultists emerged from their trenches. Screaming and whooping, they waved crude rifles and long spears as banners of red and purple, painted with symbols of violence and sin were erected, flapping in the wind. Laila had met enough traitor war bands to know what came next.

“They’re rushing the position” she declared, her voice hoarse and metallic. “Platoon to arms!”

Her soldiers did her proud. They immediately began to assemble their weapons, baseplates down on the ground. Tubes locked into place followed by bipods. “Range! Two miles! HE and Fragmentation!” She rapped “I want you to break that swarm apart before they reach the Zameeni. Maximum dispersion!”(edited)

She turned and watched them do so. Oiled precisely. Behind them, light artillery fire suddenly fell as the traitor emplacements blanketed the area, hoping to catch any reinforcements headed for the lines. It was a classic move: rush the defences and kill the relief as they moved to support the defenders.

But her men held.

They squinted through sights, angled the tubes to adjust for range before the loaders dropped the bombs into the tubes. The crews braced as the propellant hit the spike and with a series of loud “whumps” the projectiles launched in deadly arcs into the dead skies.

Ignoring the blasts behind her, Laila watched with grim satisfaction as a series of dusty eruptions erupted amid the traitor changes. Cultist vanished in plumes of smoke and dust, or collapsed in rows as the shrapnel cut them down. The next volley followed, fresh bombs dropped into tubes as they adjusted to blanket the area, moving the barrage forwards as the enemy advanced.

The line would not break. Not while they had their backs.
