corrected the spelling of Lufgt Huron to Lugft Huron
===Badab War===
The debt to the Astral Claws would be repaid in the [[Badab War]], when the Executioners sided with Lufgt Lugft Huron's rebels. While nominally allied with the forces of the Tyrant, it became immediately apparent that the Executioners fought on their own terms, and apparently looked at their allies with contempt. The Chapter refused to garrison troops, claim territory, or attack non-military targets. Despite this, its forces soon gained a fearsome reputation, especially among the [[Howling Griffons]]{{Fn|2f}}, to whom they dealt catastrophic damage at [[Khymara]]'s lunar outposts in 907.[[M41]]{{Fn|5}}, and the supply convoys of the Loyalist forces, whom they mercilessly hounded with their warship ''[[Night Hag]]''.{{Fn|2f}}
The alliance would last until 911.M41, when forces under Astral Claws [[Arch-Centurion]] [[Carnac Commodus|Commodus]] attacked the [[Salamanders]] [[battle-barge]] ''[[Pyre of Glory]]'', intent on pillaging its [[gene-seed]] stores and armoury, despite the fact that it had peacefully surrendered to the Executioners. Incensed at this breach of honour, the Executioners turned on the Astral Claws, not stopping until all the oath-breakers were dead. This furious battle was named [[Red Hour]] for the vast amounts of blood that had been shed. From that point on, the Chapter would become a rogue element in the war, attacking both Loyalist and Secessionist forces alike, although supply convoys were surprisingly left alone.{{Fn|2g}}
