The '''Red Stars Campaign''' was a battle fought by the [[Dark Angels]] from '''732.[[M33]] ''' to '''822.[[M33]]'''. In a series of wars, the mineral-rich [[Kulgotha system]] was scoured by [[Xenos]] and claimed by the [[Imperium]]. The Dark Angels took part in many battles, including the entire chapter in the climatic battle of [[Vermilac Prime]].{{Fn|1}}
==Overview==
In desperation to cut the head off a rising [[Ork Waaagh!]] the entire [[Dark Angels]] Chapter was deployed en masse. It was their hope that the [[Deathwing]] could draw outand destroy the [[Ork]] [[Warboss]] [[Zogax da Great]] before the [[Space Marine]]s were overwhelmed bythe green tide. Alas, these hopes were dashed when Zogax’s [[Mek]]s deployed some sort ofjamming device that prevented the Deathwing from teleporting down anywhere near theWarboss’ vicinity. Defiant, [[Supreme Grand Master]] [[Alloken]] led his own command squad and the 3rd [[Space Marine Company|3rd Company]]in an attempt to cut through the heavily armoured bodyguard of Warboss Zogax. However,aided by all manner of hulking mechanised fighting machines, the Orks proved too powerful. The Dark Angels’ impetus was all but spent by the time Alloken appeared before the [[chainaxe]]-wielding Ork Warboss. Tragically, the Supreme Grand Master was cut down, but asZogax reached down to claim the Lion’s [[Lion Helm ]] for his own, his hand was vaporized by a bolt ofplasma. Howling in anger and surprise, the towering Ork Warboss looked up just in time totake a rapid volley of bolt pistol shots through both his good eye and his bionically enhancedone. Even devoid of the back part of his huge cranium and the majority of his brains, Zogaxfought on for a few more moments before he fell, twitching.{{Fn|2}}
[[Cypher]] appeared, spinning in a circle while his twin guns blazed away. The plasma pistol waspowerful enough to melt holes through the thick plating that covered the [[Mega Nobz]], whilehis [[bolt pistol]] shots struck more vulnerable points, such as joints or the Orks’ open-facedhelms. Many went down beneath that cavalcade of fire, spouts of Ork blood, steam and blackoil jetting out from the collapsed piles of blocky armour. Holstering both pistols, Cypherdragged Alloken and his treasured artifacts to a nearby trench, then sprinted off even as thenearest Dark Angels closed in. Ignoring the remaining Orks, the Dark Angels concentratedfire on the robed figure, but he was soon hidden behind the smoking hulks of wreckedvehicles. Within moments, the forcefield jamming device that prevented the Deathwing fromteleporting down was nullified and the 1st Company arrived to secure victory.{{Fn|2}}
Of Cypher, no further signs could be found.{{Fn|2}}
