Hunters
Hunters is a short story by Braden Campbell. It was originally published (under the title Hunted) in Hammer and Bolter 13, and re-published in the omnibus Honour Imperialis (Omnibus), and online in August 2015.
The last Imperial survivors on a Tau-held world, a garrison of Catachan Jungle Fighters embark upon a suicide mission into the heart of the Tau enclave to take down their leader.
The Tau Empire has begun its annexation of Cytheria, an Imperial world garrisoned by Catachan Jungle Fighters. Within a few days, the aliens have eliminated most of the Imperial opposition, forcing the remaining Catachans to assume the role of guerrilla fighters, a role in which they excel. Only one option remains to the Catachans – a suicide mission into the heart of the Tau base camp to take down the Ethereal in charge of the invading force.
