Changes

Port Maw now functions as the sector[[Gothic Sector]]'s main naval base, acting as the headquarters for [[Battlefleet Gothic]]. The planet is encircled by hundreds of defensive systems, including monitor ships, minefields and defence satellites, which rendered it impregnable during the [[12th Black Crusade]], otherwise known as the '''Gothic War'''. However, the forces of Chaos were able to blockade the planet for almost the whole length of the war.{{Fn|2}} Port Maw also maintains defence space stations throughout the sector, such as those orbiting [[Verstap]] and [[Luxor (Gothic Sector)|Luxor]], which are rare exceptions to the usual hegemony of the [[Imperial Navy]] and [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] in controlling such structures.{{Fn|1b}}
