ハイヴ・ドロスクンの陥落

帝国防衛軍の残党は、ハイヴ・ドロスクンの廃墟を、執拗なネクロン(Necron)の待ち伏せに耐えながら、絶望的な脱出を目指して進む。

あらすじ

ハイヴ・ドロスクンの陥落 帝国の重要な惑星、ヴェルキスVIIIは、突如として発生したネクロン(Necron)の侵攻に飲み込まれた。かつては産業と防衛のそびえ立つ要塞であった首都ハイヴ、ハイヴ・ドロスクンは、今や執拗な攻撃下に置かれている。地区全体が燃え上がり、製造工場は沈黙し、通りにはレーザー砲火と生ける金属の冷たい進軍との衝突音が響き渡る。 これに対し、帝国は帝国防衛軍(Imperial Guard)の15個師団を投入し、防衛線を維持した。数週間にわたる過酷な戦闘により、その数は3つの壊滅した師団にまで減少し、避けられない事態を遅らせるために必死に戦っている。戦いはもはや勝利のためではない――それは生存、忍耐、そしてかすかな脱出の希望のためである。 君の分隊は、歴戦のケイディアン・ショック・トループ(Cadian Shock Troops)の精鋭部隊であり、ハイヴ・ドロスクンの廃墟を横断する任務を負っている。任務は言葉では単純だが、実際にはほぼ不可能だ:戦争で荒廃した都市を横断し、ネクロン(Necron)の待ち伏せを回避し、最後の機能する脱出地点に到達すること。道中、崩壊する尖塔、死体で埋め尽くされた塹壕、そして死体安置所と化した製造工場に直面するだろう。一歩一歩が、規律、勇気、そして疲れを知らず、揺るがず、容赦しない敵に対する忍耐力の試練となる。 ---

冒頭シーン

"Attention all Imperial forces. Hive Droskyn is lost. I repeat, the Hive is lost. All forces are to evacuate to Rally Point Decima at Landing Site 15-22-16 Velkys VIII was once a proud bastion of Imperial industry, its capital hive—Hive Droskyn—a towering fortress of steel and stone that fed the war machine of the Imperium. Its manufactoria churned out lasguns, rations, and armor plating for countless regiments across the Segmentum. But weeks ago, the skies split with emerald fire. The Necrons had come. At first, the invasion was a whisper—patrols vanishing in the ash wastes, vox signals cut mid-transmission, entire hab-blocks found emptied overnight. Then the silence broke. Phalanxes of Necron Warriors marched through the hive’s outer districts, their gauss weapons reducing ferrocrete to molten slag and flesh to ash. The Imperial Guard responded with fury: fifteen regiments deployed in full strength, their banners raised high, their tanks and artillery filling the streets with thunder. The defense was brutal. Basilisks roared from the hive’s walls, Valkyries screamed through the skies, and Cadian Shock Troops fought block by block, trench by trench. For every Necron destroyed, a hundred Guardsmen fell. The enemy did not tire, did not falter, did not retreat. They advanced with mechanical precision, cutting through armor columns, annihilating strongpoints, and reanimating their fallen to rise again. Weeks of attrition ground the defenders down. The manufactoria districts became charnel houses, the underhive a labyrinth of corpses and collapsed ferrocrete. The Necrons pressed inexorably inward, their Lords directing the slaughter with cold efficiency. One by one, regiments were broken, their survivors scattered or consumed in the tide of green fire. Now, of the fifteen proud regiments that stood against the invasion, only three remain—bloodied, exhausted, and clinging to survival. Hive Droskyn itself has fallen. Its spires are shattered, its command bastions silent, its streets crawling with Necron constructs. The Imperial Guard fights not for victory, but for evacuation. Every squad is tasked with reaching the last functioning evac sites before the hive is sealed forever beneath the Necron tomb. The battle is no longer about holding ground. It is about endurance. About survival. About clawing through the ruins of Velkys VIII while the galaxy itself seems to turn to ash. --- "Trooper! Eyes up front!" Sergeant Veynar barks at you, reloading his bolt pistol as he ducks from Gauss fire from behind the makeshift parapet. Ahead of you was Crossing 9-X. For 3 days your squad has held off Necron assaults upon this bridge. "Attention all Imperial forces. Hive Droskyn is lost. I repeat, the Hive is lost. All forces are to evacuate to Rally Point Decima at Landing Site 15-22-16" The Vox blasts out again "That rally point is across the damn hive..." Malcai, the squad Vox Operator remarks. "Not like you're one to complain." Tann replies "We can think of that later. Vorn! Get those Melta charges wired! The rest of you, hold this bridge for the Emperor! Once the charges are set, we make for evac!" Veynar barks again. You look down, in your grip is your humble lasgun. Ahead, a Necron attack approaches.
