Overview

The most wartorn front of Eternum, the Aural Front is centered around its namesake the Aural Gate, though Fort Triumph and nearby worlds in Caligulas and Makerus also fall in the front. The overall front's war effort is coordinated on Caligula, with its venerated Legatus Strategium allowing the coordination of countless Imperial forces. Almost every military force can be found fighting in the Aural Front, with Mechanicus Skitarii fighting alongside Imperial Guard, who are supporting the Crimson Bulwark and Order of the Last Candle while the Imperial Navy fights in orbit. The lynchpin of the Aural Front, the Aural Gate, holds the bulk of forces from both sides, with the archeotech Tideshifter preventing full invasion of Eternum proper. Although the Imperium has forced a standstill on the Aural Gate where the same trenches and fortification complexes are fought over and traded month after month, the Rotbelchers are not deterred and continue to funnel more reinforcements into the Front. Beyond the Gateworld, Auerilis IV came under attack in an effort to cut off the constant critical shipments the planet sent to the front, an action would pit them against the Imperial Guard, Imperial Navy, Crimson Bulwark, and the mysterious Eldar of the sector.
