==The World Engine==

Many years after the Varvenkast incident, Varvenkast was again threatened. This time the world destroying Necron [[Star Wars|death star]], Borsis, was on a direct path past it and destroying everything in its way. The massive assembled fleet consisting of dozens of [[Imperial Navy]] ships and space marine chapters (including the [[Ultramarines]], the Red Consuls, and the [[Invaders]]) couldn't penetrate the powerful shields protecting the World Engine and so made ready to abandon the system and the 21 billion souls on Varvenkast to their fate. However, chapter master Amhrad decided he would be awesome that day. He told the collective chapters to go fuck themselves and outlined his amazingly complex plan that would save billions: they would ram the ''Tempestus'' into the World Engine and deploy their ENTIRE chapter to the surface in an effort to destroy it. '''Fuck. Yes.''' The assembled chapters called him an idiot but since Amhrad had the biggest and bestest ship he technically led the liberation force and he had final say. The Imperial Fleet retreated to a safe distance while Amhrad enacted his plan...

Needless to say, it worked perfectly. The shields were no match for an ENTIRE kilometers long battleship and while the crash killed every human on the ship and many battle-brothers, most of the chapter made it to the surface. They immediately sent out scouting parties to figure out what the hell was going on. These parties came back with freed slaves and tales of fighting Necrons. From the slaves, Amhrad found out about the Overlord of Borsis (as the Necrons called the World Engine), Heqiroth. He dispatched a team led by captain Zahiros to assassinate the Overlord, but they failed due to many of the slaves being sleeper agents planted by the Necrons. In the meantime, Hyalhi, now Chief Librarian, took an honor guard into the depths of Borsis to find what they could find. After fighting some flayed ones, a mortally wounded brother by the name of Ghazin allowed himself to be [[anal circumference|fatally probed]] by a mass of brains hooked to a computer. It was here that Hyalhi learned of Yggra'nya, the being that powered the World Engine. The Astral Knights also discovered that Borsis was making a bee-line to [[Mars]], presumably to free the [[Void Dragon]].

After a failed alliance with the former overlord of Borsis and an ambush that killed a ton of Astral Knights, Amhrad knew there was only one option remaining. Devastator-Captain Khabyar led an attack utilizing the entire chapter against the seat of Heqiroth's power. This was only a distraction, however, and Amhrad himself led an elite force of five brothers (plus himself) to Yggra'nya's prison. Yggra'nya had spoken to Hyalhi and revealed itself as the [[C'tan]] known as The Worldbuilder. It promised to destroy Borsis and leave the galaxy (in its words to find a people more ready to accept its "benevolent" rule) if freed. Using their lives and a bunch of melta bombs, Amhrad's force managed to free Yggra'nya with only Hyalhi surviving. Hyalhi watched from the wreckage of the ''Tempestus'' as Yggra'nya utterly destroyed Heqiroth and powered down Borsis' shields, allowing the Navy to finish the job. Hyalhi entered a savior pod and died, but not before locking the memories of the battle in his mind for the Inquisition to find.
