The '''Battle of Sotha''' was a minor battle of the Horus Heresy, in which the forces of the [[Night Lords]] Traitor Legion attempted to assume control of the [[Pharos]] beacon on the planet [[Sotha]]. As the Pharos beacon was the key instrument in maintaining the cohesion of [[Imperium Secundus]], the battle on periphery of [[Ultima]] segmentum turned into strategically important struggle for future of [[Imperium Secundus]].
