Editing The War of The Beast (section)

==The Fist of the Imperium==
The Imperium had mere weeks of life left, with their entire galactic military on the verge of annihilation and thousands of worlds being overrun by an unending tide of Orks. Meanwhile on [[Inwit]], [[Maximus Thane]], Chapter Master of the [[Fists Exemplar]], presided over a farewell ceremony for the last Imperial Fist, which took the form of the [[Feast of Blades]].

While competing (and subsequently winning) the Feast, he got an idea: the Last Wall protocol was active, right? That means technically the Imperial Fists legion was back, riiiiight? [[pretend|So they could just say they were Imperial Fists too]]. After some agreement with the successor chapters they pooled up and reformed the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fMLNzzlc68| Imperial Fists], to avoid the catastrophic damage to Imperial morale that the Defenders of Terra eating shit and dying would cause (in-universe), and to maintain the status quo (out-of-universe).

He returned and asked the High Lords what they thought about it; some of them didn't get it and refused to cooperate, so Thane, teaming up with Vangorich, got them in line at gunpoint (finally) and forced them to unleash everything they got in a last ditch assault against Ullanor - '''''everything!''''' Regiments of [[Astra Militarum]], [[Skitarii]] macroclades, [[Titan (Warhammer 40,000)|Legio Titanica]] formations, Mechanicus and Imperial Navy fleets were sent to Ullanor Prime, virtually emptying the remaining reserves of Solar Segmentum in a do-or-die plan: a military force not seen since the [[Great Crusade]], now pitted against the apex predators of the galaxy.

On top of all this, the Imperial Fists decided to take note of the Orks' tactics, retaliating [[Awesome|by unleashing asteroids against the Ork Capital, filled with the entire newly reformed Imperial Fists chapter and the remaining Sisters of Silence]] (problem, [[orks|greenskins]]?) - and it worked!

With the combination of a chain of asteroid drops, a suicide massed naval assault unleashing a point-blank orbital bombardment, a planetary level invasion and a Chapter-sized spearhead, they forced a breach into the Beast's stronghold of Gorkogrod. After a charge where the Imperial Fists killed hundreds of Warboss-sized incoming Orks they used the last remaining captured Ork psykers to finally kill the main Beast, the other Beasts and all nearby Orks, ultimately cleaning Ullanor of Ork presence and finally breaking the back of the greenskins' unified galactic assault.

The planet would have then been subjected to [[Exterminatus]] in order to ensure the greenskin threat was over, but the AdMech instead [[fail|teleported the planet elsewhere]] so they could [[Looted|loot]] the Ork technology for themselves. Thanks to the Imperium's shitty recordkeeping and a "[[Skub|special]]" retcon, Ullanor's and legacy would be lost in time until the planet took on another name: [[Armageddon]].
