Arast Cobb
Fleet Captain Arast Cobb, is the commander of the 112th Calixian Expeditionary Battle Group. In his flagship the Mars Class Battlecruiser the Emperor’s Wrath, Cobb led the battle group to the planet Avalos; where Deathwatch Kill Team needed assitance dealing with a Genestealer infestation. Once they arrived however, Cobb was surprised to see a full scale invasion as Tyranids from Hive Fleet Dagon, attacking Avalos. Outnumbered, Cobb pulled the battle group back and sent shuttles to the planet and waited as they extracted the Kill Team and the survivors they managed to save. Once on board, the Cobb and the Kill Team formulated a plan to stop the attack by disabling the Hive Ship directing the Tyranids. While the Kill Team and a company of Storm Troopers boarded the Hive ship, Cobb led the battle group in attack on the Tyranid fleet. When the Kill Team disabled the Hive ship, the bio-ships became disorganized which gave the battle group a fighting chance. The invasion was finally defeated when a Deathwatch battle barge arrived and assisted the battle group in destroying the Tyranid fleet.[1]
