Editing Solar System (section)

== [[Pluto]] ==
The dwarf planet Pluto is the site of several relay stations that allow for early detection of incoming vessels to the solar system. It (along with Uranus) also houses the '''Khthonic Gate''' warp gate allowing ships to bypass the normal mandeville restrictions, making the location a strategic asset which is heavily fortified.

Prior to the [[Siege of Terra]], [[Rogal Dorn]] [[A Game of Pretend|seems to have killed]] either [[Alpharius]] or [[Omegon]] during the Battle of Pluto in the [[Horus Heresy]], though this was simply a prelude to the proper Solar War.

A massive fleet of [[Sons of Horus]] swept in through the Khthonic Gate and successfully landed on the fortified moon of Kerberos, and managed to successfully turn its guns on the loyalist defenders. [[Sigismund]] ordered a full retreat, but [[Just as Planned|he had predicted this outcome]] and also ordered his Tech Priests to initiate an overload which destroyed the moon outright, scattering the traitor fleet and allowing Sigismund to belay the retreat order turn and counter-attack. With few options available to the traitors, "Little" Horus Aximand assaulted Sigismund's flagship and managed to capture it, although he was bested in personal combat before Sigismund managed to escape and withdraw the remainder of his fleet to Terra, having bought the loyalists several days of time.
