Despite its harsh living conditions, Engir has been an important trade hub since the Dark Age of Technology. To defend the capital city of Engir’enr and its artificial Gravitational Wells against invasion from space, G’urs Att’an [translated as fortifications or castle] had been built on top of the low mountain range between it and the Mugar'ali Steppes, that fell into the Green See hundred kilometers further south. During the opening days of the Insular Wars against the Tau Engir was considered of secondary importance and therefore was seized by the Imperial forces with little opposition. That is why, after suffering losses in the fights on other planets, some Lechian units were sent there in 810M41 to serve as a garrison and to rest.

  • Despite its harsh living conditions, Engir has been an important trade hub since the Dark Age of Technology. To defend the capital city of Engir’enr and its artificial Gravitational Wells against invasion from space, G’urs Att’an [translated as fortifications or castle] had been built on top of the low mountain range between it and the Mugar'ali Steppes, that fell into the Green See hundred kilometers further south. During the opening days of the Insular Wars against the Tau Engir was considered of secondary importance and therefore was seized by the Imperial forces with little opposition. That is why, after suffering losses in the fights on other planets, some Lechian units were sent there in 810M41 to serve as a garrison and to rest. M’urs Att’an was manned by roughly 15 600 Lechian soldiers from the 74th and 109th Lechian Rifles. The unit was commanded by Colonel Franciszek Młokosiewicz of 109th. Smaller garrisons were placed in the nearby towns of Sa’ijm (6300 legionnaires from 60th Lechian Rifles and 35 tanks from 68th Lechian Armored under Lieutenant Colonel Bronisz) and Al’orim (1200 infantrymen from 60th and 18 tanks from 68th under Captain Eustachy Chełmicki). All of these forces formed part of the Army Corps of Lord General Militant Horace von den Zigzaur, that was the overall commander of Imperial forces in the region. In the latter half of the 810M41, Major General Bludmey commander of the Interplanetary Revolutionaries, traitors that sided with the Tau, decided to lead an expeditionary force towards Engir and seize it by surprise. The pro-xeno partisans informed him about the weakness of the defenders and lack of reserves. Bludmey gathered a field force of 23 Regiments of the Interplanetary Revolutionaries, another two composed of the deserters from the Imperial Guard, a siege artillery unit and a Tau Fire Warriors Cadre. The initial expedition numbered some 170 000 men and 1500 tau, excluding naval staff and crew. They boarded a small fleet consisting of two Tau frigate-class ships, five ex-Imperial vessels and several dedicated transports.
