Changes

At Pluto commanding from the [[Frigate]] ''[[Three Sisters of Spite|Lachrymae]]'', Sigismund decimated the initial waves of primarily traitor [[Imperial Army]] vessels which arrived through the Khthonic Gate with not only his fleet but also the Moons of the world, which had now been transformed into gigantic gun-fortresses. However as the traitors arrived in ever-increasing numbers the Sons of Horus finally began to appear, using the ships of their allies as shields to begin to fire back. Soon Horus Aximand himself aboard the [[Battle Barge]] ''[[Throne of the Underworld]]'' translated from the [[Warp]], leading a massive push that saw landings on the fortress-moons. Most of the incoming attacks were by savage [[Newborn (Horus Heresy)|Newborn]] Sons of Horus. One by one, the Newborn Astartes boarded the moons and unleashed [[Scrap Code]] that either disabled its defenses or turned them to Horus' cause, resulting in the moons beginning to fire on one another. After the moon of [[Wikipedia: Kerberos (moon)|Kerberos]] fell, Sigismund ordered his fleet retreat. The Sons of Horus pursued, walking into the loyalist trap as Sigismund had loyalist [[Mechanicum]] [[Tech-Priest]]s unleash data-jinns into the power reactor complex of the moon. Kerberos exploded, decimating and scattering the pursuing traitor fleet. At this moment, Sigismund had his fleet turn back around and launched a vicious counterattack on the traitors. In an attempt to reverse the situation, Aximand personally led an assault on the ''Lachrymae'' to decapitate the loyalist command. In a clash between the Sons of Horus and Sigismund's [[Templar]]s, Aximand and Sigismund dueled. Horus Aximand slew the Templar Lieutenant [[Boreas (Imperial Fists)|Boreas]] and wounded Sigismund, but the First Captain of the Imperial Fists was able to teleport away aboard the nearby Frigate ''Persephone'', severing one of Aximand's hands as he retreated. Though wounded, Aximand successfully captured the ''Lachrymae'' and organized a counterattack that broke the loyalist fleet at Pluto. Sigismund ordered a withdraw towards Terra, informing Rogal Dorn that the First Sphere had fallen after several days of fighting.{{Fn|6c}}
