Changes

The Destroyer [[Leviathan Siege Dreadnought]]s of the Nemesis were able to breach the armourium's makeshift fortifications, forcing the Ashen Claws to retreat. The Night Lords seized on the opportunity to launch a hive-wide counter-attack on the Ultramarines, forcing them in turn to evacuate their troops on the ground. Unopposed by the Imperial fleet co-ordinating the evacuations, the Ashen Claw fleet departed with a sizeable store of stolen munitions. Although in control of the hive, the Night Lords had no defence left against an orbital bombardment. Any survivors able to take shelter from the bombardment were abandoned in the ruins and Desperation was declared [[Dead World|destroyed]].{{fn|1}}
