→Battle of Aegida Platform
=== Battle of Aegida Platform ===
The second phase of Sothan System invasion consisted of use of the captured destroyer [[Probity]] to neutralize [[Ultramarines]] legion forces aboard orbital station called ''[[Aegida ]]'' Platform. [[Probity]] approached the station and after vox contact was established one of crew members was under torture forced to mislead Captain Adallus into allowing [[Probity]] to dock with Aegida Platform. Once boarding force, again under command of [[Gendor Skraivok]], gained entry to Aegida Platform, presence of the [[Night Lords]] fleet was revealed. The boarding force managed to quickly overwhelm defences of [[Ultramarines]] aboard the orbital station and managed to capture captain Adallus and kill or capture half of 199th Company{{Fn|3g}}. Only one [[Neophyte]] [[Scout squad]], the 55th, of 199th Company's Scout Cohort managed to escape Aegida Platform{{Fn|3e}} using [[Thunderhawk]] gunship and land on Sotha where they started to harrass [[Night Lords]] forces.{{Fn|3i}}
