Sanctarro Campaign
The Sanctarro Campaign was a battle between the Imperium and Necrons in 894.M41.[1]
Overview
Korovoskh, Necron Overlord of Sanctarro, loosed his Necron legions against the ash-choked worlds of the neighbouring Vjalborg system. Korovoskh had no pressing need for the worlds, but hoped to challenge Imotekh for rule of the Sautekh Dynasty. Thus did billions of Imperial citizens die solely to prove Korovoskh's military aptitude. Wherever Korovoskh’s forces attacked, Cryptek geomancers sent tectonic disruptions rumbling through the bedrock; hives toppled into ruins, and subterranean fortresses were crushed flat. Only when the 14th Alphic Dragons and the Raven Guard 3rd Company arrived at Vjalborg did the Necrons meet their first defeats.[1]
Nevertheless, Korovoskh's phalanxes were seemingly without number, and the new arrivals were badly beset. Ultimately, the tide of the campaign was turned by the arrival of Strike Force Ultra, under the command of Severus Agemman. Leaving the Raven Guard and the Tempestus Scions to defend Vjalborg, Agemman led a demi-company of Ultramarine veterans to Sanctarro itself. Though numbering fewer than fifty Space Marines, the strike force succeeded in breaching the flux-shields around Korovoskh's palace and, in a final battle beneath the Oblivion Gate, destroyed Korovoskh and his royal court.[1]
