Imperial Guard fought with Chaos forces in four hundred kilometres of battlefield frontline which represented the focus of the war here on Fortis Binary, a vast and ragged pattern of opposing trench systems, facing each other across a mangled deadland of cratered mud and shattered factories. <sup>1</sup>
The ducal palace on whose Hechtor Dravere was miraculously intact after six months of serial bombardment and overlooked the wide rift valley of Diemos, once the hydroelectric industrial heartland of Fortis Binary, now the axis on which the war revolved. In all directions, as far as the eye could see, sprawled the gross architecture of the manufacturing zone: the towers and hangers, the vaults and bunkers, the storage tanks and chimney stacks. A great ziggurat rose to the north, the brilliant gold icon of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] displayed on its flank. It rivalled, perhaps even surpassed, the Temple of the Eccesiarchy, dedicated to the God-Emperor. <sup>2</sup>
