→Relief Force and Conclusion of Battle
Corvo ordered his ships to launch a salvo of torpedoes and missiles that preceeded them. Thanks to having translated out of immaterium with high residual velocity, it caught the [[Night Lords]] fleet by surprise. Several [[Night Lords]] vessels were damaged and other were provoked into pursuit of [[Ultramarines]] vessels. This created window of opportunity for Corvo's flagship, the [[Glorius Nova]], and for [[Dark Angels]] vessel, the [[Watcher]]. While [[Watcher]] engaged remaining [[Night Lords]] vessels and was destroyed in the process, Corvo led a strike force of hundred and twenty-six legionaries of his company to relieve defenders of Mount Pharos. On the surface of Sotha, Corvo's strike force linked up with Sothan First Auxilia soldiers and Scouts of 199th Company. Scouts led the strike force into caverns under Mount Pharos while soldiers of Sothan First Auxilia engaged [[Night Lords]] pursuit force and delayed them before they were destroyed {{Fn|3l}}.
Not knowing that the relief force is only few hours from rescuing him, warsmith [[Dantioch]] located the [[Nightfall]], flagship of the [[Night Lords]] legion after being tortured and blackmailed by threats to [[Polux]]. Krukesh knowing that his forces above the planet were engaged by [[Ultramarines]] vessels decided to use Pharos and transport himself and Skraivok aboard the [[Nightfall]]. [[Dantioch]] used this to tune the Pharos beacon into overpower that killed most of the [[Night Lords]] legionaries in Primary Location Alpha, transported blinded Krukesh and Skraivok to [[Nightfall]] and disabled majority of shipboar shipboard systems and power armour systems on planet and in orbit above it. This way, he turned the tide against the traitors and enabled [[Ultramarines]] victory costing [[Dantioch]] his life {{Fn|3m}}.
