An attack was made by terrorist forces against the breeding facilities of the Abbey of the Purified Heart on the isle of Ilushu-nasir of Alkabsi IV.
It was clearly an ill-considered and opportunist action by a splinter group, as their intelligence (in both senses of the word) was severely lacking. A contingent of Brutor, bred for the “Askura” regiment of the Imperial Marines was within a week of graduation to service. Made operational and led by Gunnery Sergeant Emeritus Kumakatok with the prayers and favour of my brother, the Abbot Palatine, the putative marines easily dispatched the rag-tag savages after a short fire-fight as they tried to land on the island’s north beach.
This was an excellent training exercise for the new warriors. The several survivors have been handed over to His Grace’s military inquisitors. Should the Commander of Sarum forces on Alkabsi IV require, the marines can be commissioned into his service a week early by request.
All monastics and slaves on the Abbey island are safe, and the latter rewarded with gifts and a festival for their true service to God and the Empire.
Virtue, Valor, Victory.
