====The Bridge World====
The Intax Empire had dismantled a forgeworld. Verdun and the 1001st Division discovered this when they fell under fire from titans on the bridge world Ulysses. With Legio Cataegis and superheavy support elsewhere, Verdun had to work with what he had to slow the enemy titans. So, the 1001st lured the titans under a bridge-city, collapsed the two of its three bases with tactical nuclear weapons and brought several million tons of steel and flesh down atop an entire cohort.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Ulysses, Marshal Ranc had a different issue: AI. Abominable automata assaulted the 1002nd Division in the thousands, cornering them on a bridge-city where they faced both droids and human partisans. However, the odds were in the 1002nd's favor, for they had experience with cramped environs, numbers skewed towards the enemy, and generally being surrounded and outmatched. The 1002nd fought on for several days in a desperate fight, until support from the Skitarii and Shrike Divisions arrived. By the time they were relieved the 1002nd was decimated, and so the equally-exhausted 1001st Division was folded into them, with overall command being given to to Verdun.
