Klostzatz

Klostzatz was a Battleship in the XVIII Legion when it was led by Legion Master Cassian Vaughn during the Great Crusade, and was his flagship when the XVIII fought to save the Imperial Systems of the Taras Division from an Ork invasion. Despite their best efforts, though, the vastly outnumbered XVIII could not stop the advance of the over a million strong Ork horde and could only slow the Xenos down long enough for the populations of invaded worlds to evacuate and escape into the void. They did this repeatedly, from one fallen System to another, and the world Corcyra in the Anteros System, was no different. However, after Corcyra was evacuated, Legion Master Vaughn intended to stop the Orks' fleet from advancing into the highly populated Taras System. This plan failed miserably when hundreds of Ork ships emerged from behind their Attack Moon and sped towards the Legion's fleet. Caught by surprise, the XVIII's fleet pulled back and regrouped, but lost several ships to the Orks' sudden attack. With the Attack Moon and the Ork fleet advancing upon them in overwhelming numbers, Vaughn knew they could not defeat the Xenos and gave the order to retreat to the Taras System.[1]
