In those more innocent days, it sailed as the Adamant Resolve, flagship of the War Hounds Legion.  \nBut time changes all things. Now, the XII Legion were the Eaters of Worlds, and their flagship bore the name Conqueror.  \nIt barely resembled the ship it had once been. Ridged by brutal armour plating, spiked by countless weapon batteries, the Conqueror had become a crude bastion beyond any other warship in Imperial space.  \nAt the vanguard of an immense battle fleet, it hung in space with its engines powered down, rank upon rank of weapons batteries aimed at a golden warship leading an opposing flotilla.  \nThe enemy ship had never changed its name. Beyond the desecration of the Imperial eagles that once lined its spinal battlements, it remained unchanged beyond battle scars earned in the name of rebellion. Here was the flagship of the XVII Legion, and along its prow, etched in High Gothic, was the name Fidelitas Lex – the Law of Faith.  \nThe Bearers ofthe Word and the Eaters of Worlds stood upon the edge of war. Hundreds of vessels, suspended in the cold void, each side awaiting the order to fire first.  \nOn the bridge of the Conqueror, three hundred souls were frozen in their duties. The only sounds were the background mutter of servitors droning about their work, and the omnipresent rumble of the ship’s reactor.  \nMost of the souls, human and post-human alike, felt an alloy of emotion. In some, fear mixed with guilty excitement, while in others, anticipation became a rush of sensation not far from anger. Every set of eyes remained fixed upon the oculus view screen, bearing witness to the fleet that lay beyond.  \nOne figure towered above all others. Armoured in layered ceramite of gold and bronze, he watched the oculus with narrowed eyes. Where others bore asmile, he carried a slit of scar tissue and cracked teeth. Like all of his brothers, he resembled his father as a statue resembles the man it was raised to honour. Yet this statue was flawed by cracks and blemishes – a twitch in the muscles around his eye, a scarred ravine running along his shaven skull.  \nHe reached a gloved hand to scratch at the back of his head, where an old wound would never quite fade. At last, he drew breath to speak, in the voice of aman distracted by pain.  \n‘We could open fire. We could leave half their vessels as cold husks, and Horus would be none the wiser.’  \nBehind him, seated on raised throne, Captain Lotara Sarrin cleared her throat.  \nThe statuesque warrior didn’t turn to face her. ‘Hnnh. You have something to say, captain?’  \nLotara swallowed before speaking. ‘My lord–’  \n‘I am no one’s lord. How many times must I speak those words?’ He wiped the beginnings of a nosebleed on the back of his hand. ‘Say what you wish to say.’  \n‘Angron,’ she said, choosing her words carefully. ‘We can’t go through with this. We have to stand down.’  \nNow the primarch turned. A tremor shivered its way along the fingers of his left hand. Perhaps a suppressed need to reach for a weapon, perhaps nothing more than the misfiring synapses at the core of an abused brain. ‘Tell me why, captain.’  \nThe captain’s eyes flickered to the left. Several of Angron’s warriors stood by her throne, their helms turned to the screen, the very avatars of cold indifference. She eyed one of them in particular, imploring him to speak.‘Khârn?’  \n‘Do not look to Khârn to argue on your behalf, girl. I asked you to speak.’The primarch’s hands were twitching, the fingers shaking like serpents in spasm.  \n‘We can’t go through with this. If we attack their fleet, even if we win, we’ll be crippled behind enemy lines with a shadow of the force we need to carry out the Warmaster ’s orders.’  \n‘I did not force this confrontation, captain.’  \n‘With the greatest respect, sir – yes, you did. You have pushed Lord Aurelian’s patience time and time again.
