Vordkin

Vordkin was an Imperial Navy Rear-Admiral in Battlefleet Charadon and he took part in the Charadon Campaign.[1]

As Typhus's Chaos hordes invaded the Charadon Sector, Vordkin had command of the Naval Star Fort Solari Anchorage. It is located within the Metalica System and played a major part in the System's defense, as it contained a sizable Naval fleet. However when the Charadon Campaign began, Lieutenant-Heraldus Lihua Sheradane departed with most of the fleet to engage the invaders. A small fleet, led by the Emperor Battleship Mercy of the Blade, remained to guard the Anchorage, but it was no match for Typhus' forces when they invaded using the The Sore Warp tunnel. The tunnel had suddenly materialized within the System, and caught its defenders off-guard, as Typhus warships sought to invade the Forge World Metalica. First, though, the Traveler intended to deal with anything that stood in his way and this included the Solari Anchorage. Vordkin knew his fleet could not stop the invaders and he ordered the Mercy of the Blade to escape. The Battleship soon departed with as many ships that could escape in time, as Typhus' forces closed in on the Anchorage. Vordkin gave the order to fire, as the invaders came into range of the Anchorage's weaponry, but Typhus' fleet weathered the Star Fort's fire and boarded it. The Rear-Admiral and his Naval Armsmen fought valiantly to defend the Anchorage, but they were killed and the Star Fort was taken by Typhus.[1]
