→The Badab War
===The Badab War===
The Chapter arrived in strength in the Maelstrom Zone in 912.M41, mostly due to the intervention of Legate-Inquisitor Frain and his acolytes, and pledged all of its ten Companies to the Loyalist cause.<sup>d</sup> . The Chapter's fleet, led by the [[battle barge]] ''Memento Mori'', played a pivotal part in the destruction of the infamous Ring of Steel star fort network surrounding the Badab system.<sup>e</sup>
When the final attack on Badab Primaris came, the Star Phantoms were given the glory of leading the first wave of attackers. Two of its companies supported the marines of the [[Fire Hawks]] and [[Sons of Medusa]] in taking the High Guard orbital fortress, while its remaining forces, some seven companies strong, would join the heavy assault elements of the other participating Loyalist Chapters as well as Inquisitorial [[Storm Troopers]] in besieging the seat of the Tyrant's power: the Palace of Thorns itself.<sup>f</sup>
