Stornus
Stornus is a Sergeant in the Raven Guard Chapter, who took part in the Damocles Crusade, but found himself and his squadron trapped behind the Tau's battle lines on a Sept World, near the Crusade's end. They were soon able to establish contact with the main Imperium's forces and were given an extraction point, that would take them to safety. Though there was a time limit for their extraction, this did not stop the squadron from causing as much damage to the Tau as possible, by using the tactics the Raven Guard are famous for. However, it was when they came across a hidden Tau research station, and stole several data on prototype Battlesuit designs, that their enemies began to overwhelm the heavily outnumbered squadron. Led by the Fire Warrior Shas'ui Kye'n, who was charged with the research station's defense, the Tau quickly pursued the fleeing Raven Guard and by the time extraction point came into view, only Stornus was left alive from his squadron; though they had managed to kill many of the pursing Tau. Now despite being heavily wounded, Stornus still has the stolen Tau Battlesuit designs with him and is struggling to reach the nearby extraction point, while being fired upon by the vengeful Tau.[1]
