Notes From

Hervara

“Preparation isn’t everything on the battleield. You can’t account

for every scenario. On the other hand, having your best-laid plans

spoiled is better than walking in with no plan at all.”

WHAT’S IN THIS

SUPPLEMENT?

This optional supplement to F inal T esTamenT has printer-

friendly, background-free versions of the in-universe documents

found within that volume, and also contains two new artefacts

related to the end of the published campaign (see pages 14–15).

documents passed down by regimental oficers to help

educate the Player Characters on the world of Hervara.

–Private Mercito Grant

T his supplement to F inal T esTamenT , the irst book-length

adventure for O nly W ar , contains a number of the inserts

and handouts found within F inal T esTamenT . These

documents have been organised here for convenience of printing

and distribution, so that Game Masters can easily provide them to

their players over the course of F inal T esTamenT .

The inserts have been placed roughly in the order that

they should be given to the players. Of course, due to the

modular nature of some encounters in F inal T esTamenT , the

sequence of events can luctuate based on the actions of the

Player Characters or the discretion of the Game Master.

CHapter ii HanDouts

The Know Your Enemy! Orks and Ork “Speed Freeks”

handouts found on pages 8–9 should be given to the

Player Characters during their irst meeting with Captain

Player Characters individually, during meetings with Captain

Fordham, as he explains the Squad’s speciic objectives for

their various missions at the Hervara-XIX depot.

Memorandum HV-1383I

TO: All incoming soldiers

FROM: The Office of Lord Marshall Pasheen

RE: Hervara Field Conditions

Due to the diverse nature of the forces stationed upon Hervara, it has come to this

office's attention that some degree of background should be provided as regards those

conditions upon the planet's surface. Variations exist across the sundry battlefields,

but your unfailing trust in the Emperor will ever separate the vile traitor from the

righteous servant of His will in your eyes. Still, certain precautions must be taken,

and all soldiers of the Imperial Guard are expected to read and memorise the following

material, that it may act as a beacon of His light and guide them on the field of

battle. This guide does not constitute an excuse for a lack of faith in the Emperor,

but rather should be seen as a small manifestation of His infinite wisdom.

ENVIRONMENTAL CLIMATE: Hervara's high levels of volcanism and dense atmosphere leave

the planet's surface conditions uncomfortably warm for heavier fatigues. Only summer

weight uniforms are recommended for use during the course of deployment to this

world's surface. Despite the atmosphere's odd coloration, the Departmento Munitorum

surveys have not acknowledged any long-term or short-term negative effects of

breathing the local air in the tunnels or on the surface. Rebreathers are therefore

technically unnecessary, but have been issued to certain squads and regiments for

their comfort.

POLITICAL CLIMATE: The planet's population is believed to have an unacceptably high

incidence of members who have turned from the majesty of the God-Emperor. Soldiers

are discouraged from communicating with any native members of the planet's population

unless they are designated as a secure point of contact for Imperial Operatives.

Any such known safe individuals are expected to display an Imperial Eagle upon their

person at all times.

KNOWN DANGEROUS FLORA: Hervara's plant life is largely fungal in origin. All tested

specimens have proven to be well within human digestive tolerances, and are even

considered pleasant by a nontrivial portion of the native population.

KNOWN DANGEROUS FAUNA: There are no known dangerous native animals actively

dwelling upon Hervara's surface, with the notable and important exception of the

fanged spinetooth, the saliva of which can cause abrasions, blindness, and severe

paranoid hallucinations.

Mission Briefing HV-1: Mission Code "Quiet War"

Assigned Regiment: ________________________________

Designation: Insertion Delta-324

Briefing Version: Alpha-001 mark 9.2

Departure Location: Launch Bay Seven, Devout Triumph

Arrival Location: Landing Field, Port Fontaine, Hervara

Objectives: Transfer the regiment to the surface of Hervara to reinforce the

Imperial Guard elements already present upon the planet in pacifying any surviving

secessionist elements.

Summary: The regiment must assemble, along with all of their provisions and

supplies, within the Devout Triumph's landing bays. All equipment must be loaded

aboard the dropships. In order to minimise the transport's stay within the system,

all forces are to deploy through the course of a single transit. Each company is

assigned to a single ship, along with their support vehicles and staff. Companies

must carry an adequate supply of weapons and ammunition to engage in a brief

conflict in the unlikely event of an ambush,

In the improbable event that Hervara's situation is further from pacification

than expected, dropships may be reassigned during the course of re-entry. High

Command will provide additional instructions to company commanders regarding their

alternative landing sites and expected levels of enemy resistance. Field units

must be prepared for immediate action in the event of such reassignments.
