→Blackstone Fortresses
The Gothic Sector was the location of the [[Blackstone Fortresses]], ancient abandoned space stations created as weapons against the [[C'tan]] which were found and refitted into Imperial naval bases. In the Gothic War Abaddon captured three out of the six still existing. He went on to use them to wipe the atmosphere off an entire planet, and even push a star to super nova and annihilate an entire star system.{{Fn|1c}}
{{CMS}}At the ending of the Gothic War, Abaddon managed to remove two of the fortresses into the [[warp]]. The third Blackstone Fortress Abaddon had control over was boarded by Imperial forces where they met no resistance nor found any crew. Roughly an hour after the Imperium recaptured the fortress it self-destructed mysteriously along with the four other fortresses under Imperial command.{{Fn|1c}} Abaddon later resurfaced with the two lasting Blackstone Fortresses in his [[13th Black Crusade]].{{CME}}
