Changes

With loyalist forces gaining momentum in the [[Maelstrom]], the time to end the Badab War had come. Loyalist forces first destroyed the [[Ring of Steel]], the Tyrant's space defenses. This was achieved by a two-fold plan, using the arcane arts of the [[Magos]] of [[Angstrom]] and the Tyrant's growing paranoia. The entire defense network was located on a heavily defended [[star fort]] called [[Sentinel-Sigma]] orbiting [[Sigma (Badab VI)]]. A loyalist armada consisting of six [[Battle Barge]]s, nine [[Strike Cruiser]]s, six [[Imperial Navy]] ships of the line, one [[Mechanicus]] War Caravel and eighty-four escorts and other strike craft entered realspace above Badab VI. Leading the assault was the ''[[Raptorus Rex]]'', towing a burning stellar core fragment torn bodily from the [[Bale Cascade]]Cascade. The ''Raptorus Rex'' proceeded to engage its main drives at maximum power, hurtling the core fragment towards the station. While the core didn't entirely destroy the star fort, it disabled its [[void shield]]s. [[Boarding torpedo]]es and [[Caestus Assault Ram|Assault Ram]]s smashed into the station, carrying with them the might of the [[Sons of Medusa]] and the [[Exorcists]]. The star fort fell and the Ring of Steel was broken.{{Fn|1}}
