==Overview==
Following the events of the [[Second War for Armageddon]], Warboss [[Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka|Ghazghkull]] was planning his spectacular return to the [[Armageddon]] system. Meanwhile his old nemesis [[Commissar]] [[Yarrick]] was hot on his heels, determined to end the threat of the Ork Warboss once and for all.{{Fn|1}} The Imperial forces were joined by [[Black Templar]] forces led by [[Helbrecht]] himself.{{Fn|2}}
Ghazghkull left the world of [[Piscina IV]] for the Golgotha System in order to exploit the planets natural resources, unaware that Yarrick had finally located him and was closing in. The Ork warlord intended to seizre the planet, enslave the populous, and convert it into a giant ammunition factory to fuel his next great [[Waaagh!]]. Using [[Tellyporta]] technology supplied by the [[Mekboy]] [[Orkimedes]], Ghazghkull quickly overcame the [[abhuman]] [[Planetary Defense Forces]]. Within weeks the sheer numbers of Orks and the [[Gargant]]s of Ghazghkull's armies had pounded the planet into submission. But Yarrick soon arrived and at the climax of the battle led a squadron of [[Baneblade]] super-heavy tanks into the fray, intending to hunt down Ghazghkull and leave the Ork armies leaderless. However even these behemoths were not enough to stop the Beast of Armageddon and Yarricks squadron was overrun by Ghazghkull's [[Evil Sunz]] allies. Yarrick himself was crushed under an Ork [[Battlefortress]] and his unconscious body was brought before Ghazghkull himself.{{Fn|1}}
