Badlands Description (Map Preview)

A small contingent of the Imperial Guard - Cadian Shock Troops Battle Group - 8th Regiment have been ordered to
capture and secure an abandoned deep space relay for the Adeptus Mechanicus to excavate for information regarding an
investigation of STC technology rumored to be in the space region.

Unknown to the Imperial forces, the T'au have buried a deep space ship radar under the sands in this area of the badlands.

Upon the detection of the Imperial guard the commander of the T'au Empire - T'au Sect - 3rd Regiment has decided in order to
conceal the significance of the device and defend it she has sent a small scout infantry force in to drive out the Imperium of Man's
forces from the area.

If the Imperials hold the land, and discover the device along with information of the STC information, it could lead to new weapons
and intelligence for the Imperium and threaten the T'au Empire's territorial hold on the star system.

(Jeff I have updated the plot on the original story you wrote for the map as it was not elaborate enough).
