The Imperium Strikes Back
In a series of decisive battles, the Imperium of Man has launched a devastating counterattack against the forces of Chaos. The Iron Hands have driven the enemy from a dozen planets in the Contqual subsector, while the Novamarines, Ultramarines, and Cadian 98th Armoured Regiment have crushed an Alpha Legion-sponsored insurrection on Luxor.
Siege of Vraks: A Turning Point
The 88th Imperial Guard heavy artillery has opened fire on the outer defense lines of the Fortress of Vraks, marking the beginning of the Siege of Vraks. Despite initial setbacks, the Imperial forces have made significant gains, with the 468th siege regiment cracking the Fortress’s second line of defense.
Chaos Counterattacks
However, the forces of Chaos have not given up yet. A renegade counterattack in Sector 60-53 forced the collapse of the 1st line korps’s left flank, while a sneak assault on a defense laser emplacement in Sector 50-45 was repulsed.
Imperial Reinforcements
The Imperium has responded by deploying additional forces to the Vraks system. The Dark Angels have arrived, led by Azrael, and have destroyed the star port and both causeways across the Srna trench. The Red Scorpions have also joined the battle, taking the gap at Sector 57-44 and holding it until Imperial forces consolidated on their position.
Grey Knights Take Command
Inquisitor Lord Hector Rex has assumed overall command of the 88th siege army, and the Grey Knights have arrived in the Vraks system. The Inquisitor Lord has led the assault on the Lower Gate of the Citadel of Vraks and has battled and banished An’ggrath at the climax of the battle for the Cardinal Gate.
Victory in Sight
With the forces of Chaos on the back foot, the Imperium is poised for victory. The Space Marine forces have assaulted the Citadel, capturing Arkos, and the Angels of Absolution have destroyed Anarchy’s Heart. The Ordo Malleus forces have destroyed a Warp portal in the Citadel undercroft and banished Uraka Az’baramael.
Other Battles
Meanwhile, other battles are raging across the galaxy. The Flesh Tearers have sealed a Warp rift in the Adeonis Sector, while the Wolf Lord Erik Morkai has ambushed the pirates of the Kabal of the Shattered Hand over the Leutin Necropolis. The Mortifactors and the Crimson Fists have clashed, but an intercession by Ultramarines Chapter Master Marneus Calgar has prevented open war.
The Imperium Marches On
Despite the challenges ahead, the Imperium remains resolute in its determination to vanquish the forces of Chaos and restore order to the galaxy. With its mighty armies and unyielding resolve, the Imperium marches on, unstoppable and unyielding.
