Editing The 13th Black Crusade (section)

===Opening Moves===

The Kasrkin had not been idle, and had been making probing raids into the edges of their system. Urthwart was identified as the primary muster point for the forces of the Despoiler. The Cadians found nothing but death and plague zombies on that planet, but as they withdrew to their drop ships and carriers, Abaddon sprung his trap; the Imperial Fleet that had carried them there had been forced to flee before the massive Chaos armada that was coming in hot on the system, led by the '''[[Planet Killer]]'''.

Abbadon ordered the destruction of the planet to prevent a possible rescue effort and eliminate the Imperial Guard regiments already stationed. The destruction was so total that smaller warp storms completely disappeared and Astropaths far from the planet felt it.

The Black Fleet swept through the system in an atempt to catch the fleeing Imperial Fleet. The '''Plagueclaw''' and '''Terminus Est''' was among them, as well as the two missing [[Blackstone Fortress]]es from the Gothic War. Naval patrols fell back before the tide of corrupted warships, but an informal fleet formed under the command of Admiral Pulaski and mustered in the Ormantep system. Their goal was to perform a delaying action so that more troops could be sent to Cadia.

Abbadon had been reading up on Stalin lately, and decided to use numbers to try and overwhelm the Navy. This backfired spectatularly when the Imperials decided to actually use their fucking brain, resuting in [[FAIL|higher casualties than were really necessary for Chaos forces.]] However, his strategy id kinda work, and they managed to rbeak through the Agrapinaa sector.

When Pulaski's flagship '''The Honour and Duty''', exploded in a cloud of plasma, the remaining Navy ships prepared to make one last stand. But Admiral Quarren arrived, and together the combined ragtag fleet [[Awesome|fought its way through back to safety at Demios Binary.]]
