2 October 2009:  No Eldar forces are anywhere in sight and the Tau have made no further attempts to contest ground as well, but a Tyranid swarm attacked and destroyed the remnants of 2^nd Company, 3^rd Battalion, which was assigned to defend the northern flank of the Uradeln 21^st Regiment.  Navy sensors have not picked up any other inbound Tyranid hive swarms so this one may have been a freak occurrence.  A small detachment of allied Imperial Guard, who were defending their own regiment's southern flank were also present and these unfortunately were not so skilled as the Uradelns and were all killed.  Newly promoted Captain Dokos had the depleted Company, no more than a small platoon, hold the line until ordered to pull the battle lines back.  Navy sensors indicate that the Drache-Uten Eldar have fled in panic from planet Aurignac, obviously due to our earlier devastating victories against them.  As for the Alaitoc Eldar, they too have disappeared from Imperial scanners, and their most likely course of action is to have also fled in panic, fearing our righteous wrath!  The Tau have also been withdrawing their forces, leaving no question as to who will continue to fight and sooner or later win on this world!  As the Tau retreat, Imperial forces advance and liberate more and more of the planet whilst the Navy keeps vigil.  “Our enemies at home have been re-educated.  They have received new insights as to our purpose”
