Kasgovoria
γ-class
Kasgovorias early discovery was wholly accidental, as it was by the warship ”Righteous soul” commanded by admiral Hacket during a series of pirate kill engagements in the outskirts of imperial controlled space.
The discovery was later dismissed by Archscribe Berjuz who reported that admiral Hacket had erred in his findings since neither sensor or visual confirmation could be made of any celestial body in the reported coordinates. Only Warp storms could be detected.

500 years later the planet was rediscovered at the same coordinates as originally reported.
Kasgovorian nobility accepted imperial rule and its current governor was allowed keep his reign.

A solid imperial presence was founded although the planet had little precious resources or worth beyond its landmass and population.

Old records note that the planet was originally colonized during the age of discovery but was harassed by strong warp anomalies rendering communications and contact impossible over long periods of time. This was however not considered enough of a threat by imperial authorities.
Kasgovoria future soon became clear, imperial high command had designated the planet to be a base of operations for further naval presence in the sector.
YEAR
The attack of Kasgovoira was preceded only by faint readings of warp transitions before a large force engaged the imperial fleet anchored around it.
Many of the imperial ships was destroyed even before returning fire and the chaos warhost closed to dispatch the few remaining ships


”In the exquisitely crafted bridge of the Last stand, retribution battleship, admiral Siegfried gazed upon the monumental fury that is the epiphany of interstellar combat. Silence boomed.
For the faintest moment his eyes turns to dark, his pupils dilating his entire eyes, like glittering pools of black space before they snap back and he turns on his heal bellowing ”-Helm, take her around Kas!”
The young sailor simply blinked, confused. ”-Sir?”
”-Gravity assist maneuver on my mark, maximum velocity”, he commanded, his voice reverberating with a will that would have held the gates of hell at bay.

Despite the heavy losses and numerical inferiority the last brave ships of the imperium stood their ground, to the end not even one ship wavered.
The unholy chaos fleet draws nearer, victory is near. One gargantuan ship, shows itself, it moves, closing for the kill. Its arrogance the only thing that would be its undoing.

“The rippling explosions shudder the vengeful sprit, venting life through its iron hide.
“Commander, the last stand is moving behind Kas, turning at full speed”
Commander Manfred silently turned his view back into the void. “-estimated course point?” He asks roughly.
“-Right 254 left 432 ” the second answers.
Manfred turns his head down, face hidden in the darkness of space. “Course change, maximum speed left broadside, take her in for death.
The final moments of the battle for Kasgovoria is somewhat shrouded in mystery, but it is clear that the battleship vengeful spirit closed on the Planetkiller, lining up for broadsides. The enemy ship slowly turn to bring all guns to bear, before obliterating it in one salvo.
“-Intercept course, enemy flagship” Siegfried says grimly. His fierce eyes locked at the enemy monstrosity.
“-Plotted sir” answers one of the crew.
“General call, abandon ship” he adds.
“-acknowledged sir, calling abandon ship"
Klaxons wail as a general call to abandon ship echoes in the giant battleship.
Not a single soul in the bridge moves.
“Gentlemen, it has been an honor having you under my command, this is our last stand” he says with contempt before he draws his family blade and points it towards the fast closing ship.
“-My imperium shall endure” the last faint whisper upon his lips.


Another ship might have had the speed or agility to avoid the collision. But not a Planetkiller, its colossal armament and bulk its own undoing.
The Unending wrath, murderer of worlds, scourge of life, Planetkiller. Turned its lance batteries upon the closing warship. Turning to bring its main weapon to bear.
Two ships collided with the wrath of a sun, tearing them apart easily before Planetkiller exploded with the wrath of a god. Taking its entire fleet with it.
Fire rained over Kasgovoria that night.

So Kasgovoria has been heavily pummeled by the overhead naval engagement and the populated areas of the world is in ruins.
Escapepods and lifter barges survive and head planetside, a few intact parts of ships survive impact, especially the belly of "undying loyalty" containing a armoured regiments worth of vehicles being shipped to a future regiment.
A myriad of vehicles and equipment are scavenged by the remaning imperial forces.
Retired Lord General Diederick, armoured warfare specialst , traveling to hold a fire speach to the supposed armoured regiment survives planetside to take command of the scattered loyalist forces.

Large numbers of traitor forces also survives and fortifes themselves in the ruined cities over Kasgovoria. Within days warpstorms starts raging around the planet, making communication impossible.
The Lord General starts frantically drilling the suvivors for the challenges ahead he suspects.
War is comming.
