Editing Planet Killer (section)

== Beyond the Gathering Storm: Have You Seen My Planet Killer? ==

Curiously the Planet Killer was nowhere to be seen in the lead-up to the destruction of Cadia, its place taken up instead (fittingly enough) by the ''[[Vengeful Spirit]]''. Nothing, not even a rumor of its sighting in-universe, was been said about the Planet Killer in the hundred plus years since the [[Great Rift]] formed, the [[Indomitus Crusade]] was launched, the [[Plague Wars]] wracked [[Ultramar]], and the [[War of Beasts]] hit [[Vigilus]]. So where the heck is it?

The short story [https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/03/15/tales-from-vigilus-15-the-threshold-of-damnation/ The Threshold of Damnation], part of the Tales from Vigilus series on Warhammer Community, sheds a ''little'' light on that. While the ship's actual whereabouts and activities aren't revealed, Abaddon notes that while the Planet Killer has its uses, and he's still making good use of it, there's only one true flagship of the Black Legion and that's the Vengeful Spirit. In all likelihood the Planet Killer is probably lurking somewhere out in the Imperium Nihilus, where word of its presence can't easily spread. Following the [[War of Beasts]], it is said to be preparing for an attack on Vigilus' sister world, Sangua Terra.

Besides, think about it this way: even Chaos doesn't usually destroy planets. It conquers and raids and ravages even though Exterminatus is fully in their capacity. Which makes the Planet Killer not as useful as it seems. Except for shooting ships with its giant death gun, but there's this thing called "moving out of the way" that makes this kinda hard.
