Changes

Over the years the [[Imperium]] has slowly moved on to more mobile forms of artillery that required less logistical support and have much less complex firing systems. As a result, today's Deathstrikers are mostly involved in the most dire and apocalyptic of battles but can also sometimes be found in smaller formations in need of destruction on a grand scale.¹:

During the [[Ork]] raid on Baric Six in 994.M40 Lootas managed to infiltrate and and steal one of three Deathstrike missile launchers from the [[Imperial]] 52 artillery battery. This would later prove to be a fatal mistake resulting in the loss of two entire armoured companies of the [[Mordia|Mordian]] 278th and the [[Baneblade]] ''"Steel Might"'' not to mention over a hundred Orks. Later after two years of investigations a dozen Imperial Generals would be put to death for direliction of duty.¹:
