The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' was a battle of the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1}}
==Overview==
After the [[Drop Site Massacre]], [[Fulgrim]], [[Primarch]] of the [[Emperor's Children]], constructed the [[Perfect Fortress]] on the world of [[Narsis]]. The Fortress would be used to secure the riches of several [[Forge World]]s and threaten the [[Imperial]] strongholds of [[Agrapha]], [[Chopix]] and [[Spartus (World)|Spartus]]. It would also serve as a key part of the Imperium’s defences, until the [[Horus Heresy]] began and the [[Emperor's Children]] seized Narsis for [[Warmaster]] [[Horus]]. Once it fell into [[Traitor]]'s hands, the Perfect Fortress became lynchpin for their presence in the southern Imperium. It would remain so, until sometime after the [[Dropsite Massacre]], when a vengeful [[Primarch]] [[Corax]] led his [[Raven Guard]] and their [[Therion Cohort]] into attacking the Fortress.{{Fn|1}}
Though it was heavily fortified, [[Corax]] ordered the [[Therion Cohort|Cohort]] into the [[Perfect Fortress|Fortress]], to make the [[Emperor's Children]] overconfident and to draw them out, so the [[Raven Guard]] could strike them down. Even as the Cohort then began to suffer horrific casualties, the [[Primarch]] prepared his forces, except the ill-favored [[Deliverers]], to infiltrate the Fortress, while the Emperor's Children were distracted. Just as they were prepared to do so, the [[Scout Cruiser]] [[Fane of Shadow]] discovered an array of [[Flak Turret|Flak Batteries]], scattered across the Fortress, which had not been revealed by the Cohort's attack. They were all slaved to a control room, deep beneath one of the Fortress' central towers in '''Hab-block Delta-19'''. When the Batteries activated, the weapons would be able to wreak havoc on the unsuspecting [[Space Marine Legion]]. With Corax having ordered them to maintain [[Vox]]-silence before they attacked, no one on the Fane could warn him about this new threat.{{Fn|1}}
Acting quickly, the [[Centurion (Rank)|Centurion]] [[Beyar Kedron]], who was aboard the [[Scout Cruiser]], decided to lead his detachment of [[Deliverers]] in invading '''Hab-block Delta-19'''. Kedron would succeed in destroying the [[Flak Turret|Flak Batteries]]' control room, at a heavy cost, and the Raven Guard succeeded in launching an ambush on the [[Emperor's Children]] from within the Fortress itself. When the battle was over, the Raven Guard had suffered little losses overall{{Fn|1}}, the Perfect Fortress' commander, [[Hasten Luthris Armanitan]], was dead at [[Corax]]'s hands and Narsis once again belonged to the [[Imperium]]. Kedron's slain Deliverers were later placed in a mausoleum within the Fortress, as the Raven Guard left Narsis behind them. However their [[Primarch]], Corax, is not known to have offered a word of praise or criticism for their actions, nor would the Deliverers' [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] honor them in anyway. In the wake of the battle, Kedron and a number of the [[Therion Cohort]]'s commanders began to criticize the Primarch's plan, which had caused them to suffer such severe losses. This would reach Corax and in the months that followed the Fortress' fall, they would all be gathered into a separate battlegroup and ordered to seize the isolated world of [[Galaspar]]
