Lux Imperator
Lux Imperator is a Shadowsword of the Imperial Guard. It is attached to the 7th Paragonian Super-heavy Tank Company.[1a]
History
Kalidar War
In 397.M41, the tank was part of the 7th when the company was deployed against the orks of Waaagh! Gratzdakka on Kalidar IV.[1b] It was heavily damaged in an ork ambush[1b], and briefly captured by the orks who corrupted its Machine spirit into displaying Greenskin behaviour.[1c][1d]
In the assault on Hive Meradon, the tank was crippled by Enginseer Brasslock as the Orks attempted to fire on its fellow Paragonian Super Heavy Tank, the Baneblade Mars Triumphant. The Battlegroup's Tech-Priests subsequently recovered it and managed to repair it, although its Machine spirit would continue to feel shame at what had happened.[1e][1f][2b]
Later Actions
The tank would later see action alongside the rest of the 7th on Geratomro.[2a]
