The ''Vengeful Spirit'' later reappeared at the head of the massive [[Chaos]] armada that [[War of Beasts|invaded Vigilus]]. Blasting aside all opposition, it went into orbit above the world and was the primary Black Legion command centers. During the climax of the war as Abaddon engaged [[Marneus Calgar]] in a duel, the remaining Imperial vessels launched a last-ditch assault on the orbiting ''Vengeful Spirit''. Though 80% of the Imperial ships were lost, Calgar's plan succeeded when he had the allied [[Eldar]] stealth vessel ''Vaul's Ghost'' collide with the ''Vengeful Spirit''. The Eldar ship detonated a cache of Imperial [[Deathstrike Missile]]s, blowing a hole in the ''Vengeful Spirit'' and causing catastrophic damage. Facing destruction, the ''Vengeful Spirit'' was forced into an emergency Warp Jump. Faced with the prospect of losing his prized flagship and key symbol of authority, Abaddon was forced to withdraw from Vigilus to reach the ''Vengeful Spirit'' before it made its Warp transition.{{Fn|9}}
Later, the still-repairing ''Vengeful Spirit'' was the site of the first meeting between Abaddon and [[VashtorVashtorr]], who hacked into its systems to manifest aboard the flagship. It was subsequently again utilized by Abaddon as his flagship during the [[Arks of Omen Campaign]]. The vessel led Black Legion actions at both [[Magdalor]]{{Fn|14}} and [[Idolatros]]{{Fn|15}}.
