===Defeat===
The [[Blood Ravens]] [[Space Marines]]' managed to push the Liberators back and staged assault on Victory Bay. During the fighting Governor-Militant Alexander was killed and his palace was leveled to the ground. The 1st Kronus Regiment's 5th Company deserted after the death of their [[Commissar]]: [[Anton Gebbet]], and fought along side the Blood Ravens against their former comrades. During the last stage of the fighting, when all was deemed lost, the 2nd Company commander: [[Imperial Guard Captain|Captain]] [[Gregor Vash]]{{Fn|1d}}{{Fn|1g}} ordered a [[Tech-priest]] to overload the core of the [[Hellstorm Cannon]] while the [[Guardsmen]] made their last stand. The ancient weapon exploded, killing everyone within its blast radius.{{Fn|1c}}
After the fighting was over, the Blood Raven's [[Brother-Captain]] [[Davian Thule]] and [[Chaplain]] [[Mikelus]] went on to praised the Liberators for following orders to the end. They then arranged for the transport of the surviving Guardsmen off-world and back to [[Segmentum Command]] with testimonials that they had done their regiment proud. However, they executed the soldiers of the 5th Company for having betrayed their regiment even though they helped the Blood Ravens achieve victory.{{Fn|1f}}
