Please enjoy this battle report I wrote from the perspective of my mech company captain, as though she were writing an after action report.

The FAILED DEFENSE of NEW ATHENS and loss of LIEUTENANT EIYLIN BOYD, callsign "SPARKY". INCITING INCIDENT: On 2950-01-03 four dropships bearing the iconography of HOUSE MARIK made landfall 28 clicks southeast of NEW SPARTA. House command immediately mustered three Lances for the defense of the region, Castle, Galactica, and Tinderbox. I personally led Lance CASTLE with our supporting regiment, the 191ST LYRAN MILITIA, ECHO COMPANY in the defense of NEW ATHENS. LIEUTENANT EIYLIN BOYD in her Orion ON1-K pushed past SERGEANT AVERY BLACK, callsign "Bugsie", along the highway to engage the hostile MARAUDER-3M that had been identified as the commander for the lance. During her push, LIEUTENANT BOYD was intercepted by an Atlas AS7-D which had charged forward to defend their commander. The enemy ATLAS smashed into LIEUTENANT BOYD with enough force to break almost half of the armor on her Orion. LIEUTENANT BOYD stumbled backward and attempted to correct and counter in melee, but her attack was ineffective. Unfortunately the ATLAS had closed in too quickly, and before LIEUTENANT BOYD could react it brutally smashed LIEUTENANT BOYD in her cockpit, instantly killing her. ECHO COMPANY lost morale, and were quickly wiped out by remaining House Marik forces. I ordered CASTLE to engage in a tactical withdrawal, resulting in the total loss of ECHO COMPANY and her armored column. I advise LIEUTENANT BOYD be honored by awarding her a posthumous MCCLEARY AWARD FOR HEROISM for her sacrifice to ensure her Lancemates’ survival. Attached is a photo of the final moments of LIEUTENANT BOYD, taken by SRM TEAM ECHO ONE who were overlooking the battle. The transmission from the head-cams of Echo One terminated shortly after the order for withdrawal, as a hostile PHOENIX HAWK jumped atop the tower.

I made a new legion Praetor for my Horus Heresy Raven Guard!

His name is Poe, and he's going to do excellent things.
