Warhammer 40k: Shattered Steel Soul

Chapter 348 The_Battle_for_Galaspar

"War is the blood food of the Imperium of Man, and the blood of the enemy is what must be drunk. The destruction of others is heartbreaking, but when compared with the defeat of the Imperium, there is no room for choice." - Sanguinius, Blood Angels Legion Primarch

The Battle of Galasper Cluster in 845.M30 was the place where the Death Guard won its first victory and where the Blood Angels first entered the battlefield.

Here, thousands of disobedient people fell under the scythe of the Lord of Death, burning palely in the terror of the poisonous gas, turning into poisonous corpses. A former hegemonic group was crushed to dust by Mortarion's firm belief, and the entire country was reduced to a wasteland of steaming, corrosive bubbles, sucking mud like a swamp, howling in bloody cruelty.

With no surviving old rulers, no surrendered traitors, and no post-war prisoners of war, the planet's doom followed the Pale King's justice. Eradicate the base.

Then, Horus Luperkar, the Lord of the Luna Wolves, and Sanguinius, the Lord of the Blood Angels, arrived together to inquire about their closest relatives.

According to some members of the Order of Remembrance, after the war, several Primarchs did have more in-depth ethical discussions about Mortarion's initial destruction, and Sanguinius personally criticized Mortarion. Frankly speaking, I hope that if there is another opportunity for cooperation between the two in the future, please try to avoid using toxic weapons.

No matter how the Primarchs looked back on the tragic blood shed in this cluster afterwards, their cooperation was unquestionable until the war was over.

·Regional communication

After the main nest of Galaspa, Protaxus, was completely destroyed and the inventory and integration work was initially completed, the three Legion Masters immediately sent a military broadcast to the entire star cluster, reaffirming the original destruction of the exploration ship "Destiny". The peace greetings sent by the Human Empire, supplemented by the number of deaths in the main nest as evidence, called on the remaining ten planets to fall under the glory of the Empire as soon as possible, and those who surrender will not be killed.

The great Archangel Sanguinius euphemistically stated that the fact that the Night Ghost Court of the Eighth Legion did not arrive here was a great loss to this order. Otherwise, their assassination, intimidation and sabotage actions would greatly enhance the persuasiveness of their own peace declaration. .

·La Cerda’s first battle

As an important waterway connecting the Galasper Star Cluster to the external cosmic environment, after escaping the Death Guard's first round of conflicts due to beheading operations, the Lacerda planet's stubborn resistance is undoubtedly irrational. Fortunately, the united front value of completely occupying this planet is still judged to be positive. That's Lacerda's good fortune.

After negotiations between the Death Guard and the Blood Angels, the Ninth Legion became the main force in breaking through the planetary defense system of Lacerda. A large number of Legionnaires violently broke through the outer layer of the planet's defenses and broke directly into the planet's surface, launching a Legion battle led by Sanguinius himself.

The Blood Angels tore through Lacerda's defenses as quickly as possible, showing no mercy wherever they went. The Astartes warriors personally tore apart every group of enemies who resisted, and at the same time, they quickly moved toward the planet's core management tower area. go ahead. Beyond orbit, another planetary force attempting to support Lacerda was intercepted by the Luna Wolves' fleet.

Soon, the Blood Angels penetrated every war zone controlled by the enemy. With the final surrender of planetary administrator Lady Olga Vergara, the Empire gained control of the portal to the Galasper Cluster.

·Hartmann’s fate

After another warning from Lacerda, the war and disputes completely alerted the entire Galaspa cluster, forcing everyone to rethink whether the resistance to the human empire from the solar system was derived from the isolation of the old night. The ignorant manifestations of various obsolete doctrines. However, Hartmann, who sent in reinforcements, had no choice but to retreat, as they had chosen their own destiny to be ravaged by war.

The Death Guard took over the leadership of the war from the Blood Angels and continued to complete the unfinished war mission after destroying the main hive. The Blood Angels sent some companies as auxiliary support troops, and were not led by the two originals to participate in the battle.

After the Blood Angels, who were currently ghouls, and the Death Guard, which featured exterminating heavy infantry, were evacuated from the surface of Hartmann, only a thick poisonous fog like volcanic ash that covered half of the planet was left. , and countless bloody and torn corpses.

·War Wolf

Considering that desperate celestial induction signals for help were constantly being sent out from within Garaspa, while the other two forces fought together in their own way, Horus Luperkar, the son of the first return, led the fleet to attack Garaspa. The outer asteroids outside the main planet Rasper 11 and other military installations deployed in the universe have been cleaned up in an orderly manner.

The Luna Wolves isolated and destroyed the connection between a large number of outer military offensive and defensive fortresses and the inner star cluster. This makes the enemy forces that can participate in the star cluster war increasingly stretched, and also promotes the complete surrender of the Galaspa Galaxy, and the date when the Human Empire fully controls this pocket empire.

·The right choice

As the war inside Galasper raged, the overall losses of the Imperial Legion were almost negligible, and the defense of the Pocket Empire nearly collapsed under the weighing of the pros and cons of the powers of each planet.

After half of the planets fell completely into the hands of the Empire, and after the final resistance made after gathering military forces proved to be ineffective, the remaining major planets that were unable to fight back opened their doors to the three armies of the Empire one after another.

The Luna Wolves were responsible for the main negotiation and negotiation work, while the Death Guard emphasized the bottom line of death that Mortarion could accept. Eventually, the Primarch's armies quickly overran the entire cluster, taking the Pocket Empire into their hands.

·Second Battle of Lacerda

After surrendering to the Empire, the planet Lacerda expressed dissatisfaction with the decision to replace senior officials appointed by Mortarion, and the actions of Horus' agents continued to escalate in order to suppress the undercurrent here. Widespread sabotage continues, including strikes and mutinies within the planet Lacerda.

Horus convened another meeting to stress the need for submission to the Empire in order to resolve the growing unrest. After a day and night of meetings, Planetary Administrator Mrs. Olga Vergara was announced to abdicate, and a large number of the original ruling management were stripped of their power. The vacancies in power will be completely replaced by the newly appointed Imperial Council in the future.

After the Luna Wolves deftly resolved the ensuing series of objections, the three Primarchs officially declared the victorious end of the Galaspar Cluster campaign.

——

After the Battle of Galaspa, the three armies received a message asking for help from afar, and quickly rushed to the battlefield to intervene in the war that had already begun. The important battles that took place there are also recorded in the imperial documents.

The Adeptus Mechanicus assisted in the reconstruction and repair of the Galasper System. The terrain was reconstructed according to the engineering map, and a large number of damaged plates were reorganized with metal frames. The soil layers and corpses damaged in the poisonous gas were thoroughly cleaned in order to re-cover the soil needed for the empire's planning. Within a decade, large numbers of imperial immigrants revived Galaspa.
