Battle of Greystar
| |||
The Battle of Greystar was a battle fought between the Dark Eldar and Imperium in 394.M41.[1]
Overview
The Kabal of the Obsidian Rose suffered an unacceptable defeat when they are overwhelmed by the armoured might of the Cadian 346th 'Ironheads' on the mining planet of Greystar.[1]
Determined to save face, Archon Khromys ordered diversionary attacks against key points all across the planet. While battle raged, a single squadron of Voidraven Bombers – crafted by Khromys herself for just such an occasion – swooped undetected into the primary spoil-shaft of the northern polar mines. Hurtling through narrowing tunnels and jinking between slab-sided industrial machinery, the Voidravens’ superior systems saw them reach the deepest extent of the mine workings. Here, dangerously close to Greystar’s molten heart, they deployed a trio of masterwork void mines that triggered an apocalyptic chain-reaction. Even as the Voidravens hurtled to safety, the Obsidian Rose retreated to the Webway laden with slaves and plunder. In their wake, Greystar tore itself to pieces, billions dying along with their planet in order to satisfy Khromys' need for revenge.[1]
