{{Spoiler|source=Dawn of War: Dark Crusade}}[[Image:Lukas Alexander.jpg|thumb|right|Governor-Militant Lukas Alexander]]'''General Lukas Alexander''' was initially sent to [[Kronus]] by [[Segmentum Ultima|Segmentum Command ]] to track down and capture [[Farseer ]] [[Taldeer]] after her actions on [[Lorn V]] (as shown in [[Dawn of War: Winter Assault|Winter Assault]]). His forces landed in the abandoned city of ''Ironworks Bay'', and found traces of ancient relics scattered across the planet, including the "Hellstorm Cannon", a weaponry from weaponfrom a [[Horus Heresy]]-era [[Imperator Battle Titan|Imperator Titan]], ''Aquila Ignis''. The city was renamed "''Victory Bay"'', and [[techpriests ]] began excavating the massive Titan cannon. The [[Imperium]] then gave Lukas Alexander the title of "[[Planetary governor|Governor-Militant]]" of Kronus, and tasked him with (re)conquering the planet for the Imperium from the [[Tau]].

==1st Kronus Regiment==Alexander formed the [[1st Kronus Regiment]], naming them "The Liberators", since his soldiers were fighting to free the humans who were living under the rule of the Tau. Unfortunately, his goals soon put him at direct odds with a [[Blood Ravens]] task force that arrived on Kronus soon after "The Liberators", trying to uncover mysteries about the chapter's past. The Blood Ravens are then ordered to purge the planet in order to ensure their findings remain secret. They warn Alexander to leave, but he is determined to follow through with his orders and push the other factions off Kronus. Alexander is initially equipped with power claws and a wrist-mounted bolter. As his campaign progresses, he eventually obtains a wrist-mounted plasma pistol and power fists, as well as a full suit of carapace armour along with his Symbols of Office and optical implants.

Should the Governor==Equipment==Alexander is initially equipped with [[Lightning Claw|power claws]] and a wrist-Militant be successful in mounted [[bolter]]. As his taskcampaign progresses, he will become one of the most powerful men in the sector with an entire planet at his command. Most of the 1st Kronus Regiment are subsequently sent off to other nearby worlds as reinforcements, while the Governoreventually obtains a wrist-Militant himself remains on Kronus to oversee the administration of Kronus mounted [[plasma pistol]] and the creation of the Planetary Defense Force. With the ancient Titan cannon safely secured[[power fist]]s, the Adeptus Mechanicus were able to better study it, eternally grateful to Alexander. With the loss as well as a full suit of Tau control on Kronus, the human population, with little encouragement, proceeded to massacre any Tau (or Tau-aligned humans) who did not evacuate [[carapace armour]] along with Shas'O Kais. Finally, with the defeat his Symbols of the Blood Raven taskforce, incriminating documents and artifacts from their Castellum Incorruptus was found and handed over to the Inquisition, calling into question the history Office and the "true nature" of the Blood Ravensoptical implants.

==Victory==Should the city of "Victory Bay" Governor-Militant be capturedsuccessful in his task, after he will become one of the death of Lukas Alexander, most powerful men in the last [[sector]] with an entire planet at his command. Most of the 1st Kronus Regiment make a futile last stand near the Hellstorm cannon. To prevent the fall of the Titan cannon are subsequently sent off to the attackersother nearby worlds as reinforcements, while the last surviving NCO orders a Techpriest Governor-Militant himself remains on Kronus to "overload it". The Titan cannon begins to overload oversee the administration of Kronus and explode, the blasts taking out creation of the nearby combatants[[PDF|Planetary Defense Force]]. However, if Chaos were the victors, it implies that pieces of With the ancient Titan cannon still remainsafely secured, as the [[EliphasAdeptus Mechanicus]]' sorcerers released a daemon of rot and plague (which means were able to better study it belongs , eternally grateful to Alexander. With the Chaos godloss of Tau control on Kronus, Nurgle) from the cannon through a ritual of sacrificing the corpses from the attack. How the daemon was trapped in the cannon was not statedhuman population, but by doing sowith little encouragement, Eliphas gained the favour of that particular god. Also, if proceeded to massacre any Tau (or Tau-aligned humans) who did not evacuate along with [[EldarShas'O Kais]] attacked Victory Bay and won. Finally, implications of pieces remaining with the defeat of the Titan cannon are evident as the narrator states that the Farseer ordered warp bombs Blood Raven taskforce, incriminating documents and artefacts from their Castellum Incorruptus were found and handed over to be placed on what was left of the Titan cannon and denonatedInquisition, disallowing calling into question the Imperial Guard history and the chance to salvage anything "true nature" of the formidable Titan cannonBlood Ravens.

It is uncertain why ==Defeat==Should the [[Imperial Guard]] would destroy city of Victory Bay be captured, after the death of Lukas Alexander, the last of the 1st Kronus Regiment make a futile last stand near the Hellstorm cannon. To prevent the fall of the Titan cannon in such desperation if defeated by to the Space Marinesattackers, although perhaps Alexander's desperate the last shout surviving NCO orders a Techpriest to his men "(These marines) fight against the Emperor's holy will!overload it" indicates that . The Titan cannon begins to overload and explode, the Governor-Militant is blasts taking no chances regarding out the cannon possibly coming into nearby combatants. However, if [[Chaos]] were the hands victors, it implies that pieces of traitors. It is most likely after what we see in the introduction Titan cannon still remain, as [[Eliphas]]' sorcerers released a [[daemon]] of the Space Marines where Davian Thule orders Lukas Alexander rot and plague (which means it belongs to step down while the Space Marines purged KronusChaos god, and Lukas bluntly refused, causing [[Nurgle]]) from the cannon through a war between ritual of sacrificing the Space Marines and corpses from the Imperial Guardattack. In How the introduction daemon was trapped in the narrator says: "Captain Thule ordered cannon was not stated, but by doing so, Eliphas gained the withdrawal favour of the Imperial Guard forces stationed in that particular god. Also, if [[Eldar]] attacked Victory Bayand won, but Governor Alexander flatly refused implications of pieces remaining of the Titan cannon are evident as the narrator states that the Farseer ordered warp bombs to pull his men back. Thule judged be placed on what was left of the Governor a good manTitan cannon and denonated, but had little choice but to send his Space Marines to battle disallowing the Governor's troops along with all Imperial Guard the other powers on Kronus. The Blood Ravens' willingness chance to fight soldiers salvage anything of the Imperium did not go unnoticedformidable Titan cannon."

==References==It is uncertain why the [[Imperial Guard]] would destroy the cannon in such desperation if defeated by the [[Space Marines]], although perhaps Alexander's desperate last shout to his men "(November 2004These marines) fight against the Emperor's holy will!"Index Astartes � Blood Ravensindicates that the Governor-Militant is taking no chances regarding the cannon possibly coming into the hands of traitors. This is most likely considering [[Davian Thule]] ordered Lukas Alexander to step down while the Space Marines purge Kronus, and Alexander bluntly refused, causing a war between the Space Marines and the Imperial Guard. In the introduction the narrator says: "Captain Thule ordered the withdrawal of the Imperial Guard forces stationed in Victory Bay, but Governor Alexander flatly refused to pull his men back.
