Changes

Commissar Ciaphas Cain, after being plucked from his somewhat cushy attachment to the 12th [[Valhallan Ice Warriors|Valhallan]] field artillery, is attached directly to [[Departmento Munitorum|Brigade Headquarters]] for what he thinks will be an easy job of data file shuffling and organizing organising the occasional firing squad. This seems not to be the case as he finds himself constantly being assigned to outfits that are placed on suicidal missions. Wishing to save himself from the people who think him a hero, Cain places a transfer request. Along with his faithful aide, [[Jurgen]], he becomes appointed to the Valhallan 296th/301st, which is comprised of two under-strength [[Imperial Guard|regiments]] with radically different backgrounds, not including the fact that the 296th is an all-women regiment. Cain has to survive moulding anew this reconsolidated fighting force and their christening by fire on [[Gravalax]], a backwater planet that has come under the sway of the radical [[Tau]] race. After the mysterious assassination of a Tau leader during diplomatic proceedings, Cain finds himself with [[Inquisitor]] [[Amberley Vail]] of the [[Ordo Xenos]], embroiled in a conspiracy that may ignite war between the [[Tau]] and the [[Imperium]].
