An Astra Militarum Short Story

READ IT BECAUSE

Nothing entertains like a proper war story. This short celebrates them in-universe, as the protagonist of Longshot recounts an old battle to a comrade.

THE STORY

Darya and Ullaeus lie in ambush on the glass deserts of Kizmir, waiting for their high-value target to pass along a scouted route in order to spring their trap. As they look for ways to distract themselves from the seemingly endless hours beneath the baking sun, Darya tells the story of her last mission for the Cochlerati Janissaries and how she was dragged from their ranks and given to the Cadian 217th.
