The '''{{PAGENAME}}Battle of the Aragna Chain''' was a battle during the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1}}
===Overview===
The battle was the culmination of a cat-and-mouse game between the largest [[Shattered Legions]] warlord [[Shadrak Meduson]] and captain of the [[Sons of Horus]] [[Tybalt Marr]]. The two had battled one another at [[Dwell]] and [[Battle of Arissak|Arissak]] and Shadrak had just narrowly escaped an ambush by Marr during an attempted [[Iron Hands]] raid on a traitor supply convoy. During the incident, Marr left a message challenging Meduson to a final confrontation. Medusan, determined to forge the Shattered Legions into a renewed [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]], had just recently defeated an attempt by crazed [[Iron Father]]s to usurp his power with a mechanical copy of [[Ferrus Manus]]. Driven by a vengeance to avenge what had befallen his brothers on [[Isstvan V]], he wished for a full-scale battle, not a raid, against the Sons of Horus and their allies. Meanwhile, the resurrected [[Vulkan]] had come to accompany the Shattered Legions fleet on his journey to [[Terra]] but refused to lead Meduson's war.{{Fn|1}}
