===Watch Station Oertha===

Watch Station Oertha is a [[Deathwatch]] bastion in one of the primary warzones of the Canis Salient of the [[Jericho Reach]]. It is currently under attack by [[Tau]] forces who wish to colonise the planet Oertha, which, they believe, possesses vast reserves of fuel and other primary materials. It is jointly defended by the [[Achilus Crusade]] defense forces and the Deathwatch. Fifty battle-brothers of the Chapter, along with twenty Deathwatch marines under Watch Codicier Kurita, currently garrison the Watch Station. The garrisoned base is used as a platform to launch devastating raids against the Tau invaders.{{Fn|1i}}
