Terrain
Jago's terrain is mostly flat desert with massive mountain ranges dividing the planet. Trenches, partially filled in by millennium of dust storms, cover the landscape. Barracks, trenches, pillboxes and fortifications, far too large to have ever been built by Humans or any of the known xenos, pattern the entire planet, towering far above and far below the surface.
History
During the battle to retake the planet, commanded by General Van Voytz, the Tanith First and Only regiment, led by Colonel-Commissar Gaunt, moved to cover the flank of the offensive force by capturing and defending Hinzerhaus.
Hinzerhaus is an ancient fortress built into the side of a mountain, long before the Imperium, possibly before the dawn of the human species. The fortress is heavily fortified, with sixteen defensive layers of gunboxes and numerous overwatch towers.
Almost half of the Tanith were lost in the battle, and at one point Gaunt was deemed lost as well.
