Epic aerial battles and suspense in the skies above Bacchus
The Aeronautica Imperialis are the masters of the skies in the 41st
millennium, waging wars of breakneck aerial combat where only skill
stands between victory and death. Flight Commander Lucille von Shard is
an ace, a living exemplar of what it means to fly in the name of the
Emperor... or so Propagandist Kile Simlex is told. Braving the foetid
waters of Bacchus and its rampaging greenskin hordes, Simlex is tasked
with producing a cinema-pict portraying Shard as an Imperial hero.
Shortly after his arrival planetside, however, he discovers the war
effort is in shambles - the Imperium's overstretched forces are in full
retreat, the local planetary governor is desperately downplaying the
conflict at every turn, and Shard is an arrogant misanthrope who only
avoids sanction due to her consummate skills. But these skills may prove
the only hope of survival, for something vast and terrible lurks within
the clouds. The Green Storm approaches.
