Planetary History[edit]
During Escorpión Imperio's takeover of the Hanseatic League, Regional Defense Force 7, whose forces had been split evenly with Dorpat, consolidated on Kampen at the start of the invasion. Tau Galaxy landed on-world as part of Wave 2 which began on 28 January 3140, but the defenders fought fanatically, driving them back to their DropShips and killing Galaxy Commander Isaac Posavatz in the process. Zephyr Rood of the Fourth Scorpion Cuirassiers assumed control of Tau Galaxy and executed a combat drop on the capital city of Utrecht. A devastating urban battled ensued, destroying purification equipment required to reduce the world's natural airborne toxins to safe levels. The battle ended after five brutal weeks of fighting when the RDF 7 command lance was destroyed by the Twelfth Scorpion Cuirassiers, but by then millions of people had died before factories were able to produce breathing masks in sufficient quantities.[3]
