Editing Governor-Militant Lukas Alexander (section)

==The Death of the Governor-Militant==
Shit hit the fan when the 1st Kronus Regiment was sent to assist the 252nd Kauravan in securing their system, which had recently been overrun with [[Heresy|aliens and heretics]]. Unfortunately for the Liberators, problems arose immediately - Tau forces of the Fal'shia Sept had moved into the system and were reinforced heavily, putting up intense resistance. The men of the 1st Kronus Regiment suffered crippling casualties, including Colonel Bosch, whom the Governor-Militant had placed in forward command. Wondering what the hell was going on and why a bunch of aliens had just managed to waylay Alexander's forces, he moved in and proceeded to make a landing on one of the planets in the Kauravan system with a sizable contingent of his forces.

Shit went bad in a hurry. The 252nd Kauravan turned out to have huge numbers of their forces corrupted by [[Chaos]] - nearly 75%, forcing Alexander's forces to pick up the slack to assist [[Vance Motherfucking Stubbs|Vance Stubbs]] in leading the loyalists against their chaos-tainted counterparts. After they were able to re-take a lot of the planet which housed the bulk of the 252nd's main base, Stubbs began to prepare for further operations, and Alexander moved his troops to act as a Vanguard, preparing to attack the Tau next, so as to establish a beachhead at a site with one of Kaurava's Ancient Gates.

Unfortunately, the Tau had been lying in wait. Not the forces Alexander was used to, [[Commander Or'es'Ka]] - a Tau Commander who rather infamously espoused the use of WMDs if it meant securing an objective - met the Imperials with overwhelming force - and barrages from the Ar'ka orbital cannon - grinding Alexander's troops down piecemeal. In spite of this, Alexander kept his cool, and directed his forces forward, inflicting enormous casualties on the [[Tau|alien space commies]]. Sadly, he then took a Plasma Rifle blast from Commander Or'es'Ka to the torso, burning a hole right through his chest (and armor), before the [[Sisters of Battle]] arrived. Angered over the loss of a loyal Imperial Guard unit who had truly gone above and beyond the call of duty, the Sisters of battle, after clearing out the location themselves, accused the 252nd of [[Heresy]] after noticing how the bulk of the 252nd, which Stubbs was the commander of, had gone to Chaos just before they arrived. Stubbs, of course, objected, swearing to drive Heresy and Xeno alike out of the Kauravan system. Empowered by righteous fury over the loss of a friend and ally in Alexander, Stubbs wept [[Fist of the North Star|manly tears]] before proceeding to kick the shit out of every other faction in the Kauravan system in a fit of blind [[RAGE|rage]].

'''TL;DR:''' He dies in [[Dawn of War]] Soulstorm's intro, trying to help the 252nd Conservator Regiment (under [[Vance Motherfucking Stubbs]]) retake Kaurava. It sucks because it's a completely unceremonious death for someone who accomplished as much as he did. It's worth noting however, that the chain of Grit continued - Sturnn's near-death led to the rise of Alexander, whose death, in turn, led to the rise of Stubbs. To be fair, his death encouraged Stubbs to get his shit into the game, encouraging the 252nd Kauravan towards greater acts of bravery and valor, and eventually allowing Stubbs to <s>lose to Gorgutz as revealed in DoW III</s> {{BLAM|'''*BLAM!* emerge triumphant in the Kaurava Crusade.'''}}
