==Outcome of the Kauravan conflict==If the Imperial Guard is defeated in their stronghold at Dussala Precinct on Kaurava I, General Vance Stubbs escapes on a [[Valkyrie]] as his bodyguards are cut down, remarking that ''"Though my army lies in ruins today, I have not yet done fighting, and I will remember who my enemies are."'' {{Fn|3}}

If the [[Blood Ravens]] are the victor, any surviving guardsmen are treated as comradecomrades-in-arms and given safe return to [[Segmentum Command]], where only a few are likely to survive Inquisitional debriefing. The factories and munitions are then used by the Blood Ravens, who proceed in the fight for the system.{{Fn|4}}

If the Imperial Guard is victorious over all the other factions, General Stubbs and his men are declared heroes by the people of the Kaurava system. The system begins thriving again thanks to vast rebuilding, mining and terraforming projects. The numerous military academies that are built there, turn out superior guardsmen who are second in quality only to the [[Kasrkin]] of [[Cadia]]. Only Kaurava III was is left largely barren, due to having been the planet where the [[Necrons]] had risen. General Stubbs' s ability to organize organise and reform the long neglected Kauravan Guard does not go unnoticed by Segmentum Command, and he would be promoted in time from his career could not fail to carry him above and beyond the role position of [[Governor-General to ]] of a small star system.{{Fn|5}} As the canon outcome of the game sees the [[Orks]] under [[Gorgutz 'Ead 'Unter]] victorious over all other factions, it can be assumed General Stubbs escaped, vowing vengeance on Gorgutz.{{Fn|6}}
