Ten thousand years later ''Aegida'' was overrun by [[Tyranid]] forces during the fall of Sotha. However during the [[Age of the Dark Imperium]] Sotha was reclaimed by the [[Imperium]], and under the auspices of [[Tetrarch of Ultramar|Tetrarch]] [[Decimus Felix]] the platform has been declared the new Fortress-Monastery of the reborn Scythes of the Emperor. The [[Tech-Priest]] currently leading the repairs of the orbital is Grand [[Archimage]] Triplex-Edic-0-1011, dispatched by [[Archmagos]] [[Belisarius Cawl]].{{Fn|1b}}
