Those rated merely \"qualified\" were given smaller escort ships. Pell braced himself as the bridge deck tilted sharply beneath him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword of Vostroya's power was diverted to void shields and weapons. During emergency maneuvers, a battleship had to rely partly on its own mass and gravity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Port side, eleven degrees,\" Pell commanded with fervor. \"Take it out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All screens flickered with runes, friend-or-foe signals filling the void, while the molten husks of ruined starships lit the darkness with fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Cobra-class destroyer flashed past, an Astartes Legion's smallest independent warship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its failing engines vented blue-white fire, sparking like fireworks as it scraped past the massive battleship's hull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Accelerate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pell's voice dropped, his black eyes gleaming.

On the screens, forward scans vanished beneath a searing yellow glare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fleeing Ork ship loomed ahead, even larger than the Sword of Vostroya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prismatic ether-fire lashed its shields, crackling until the barrier collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ork fighta-bommas closing starboard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Port-side void shield five has failed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lances at ninety-five percent charge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Data streamed through Pell's mind, flowing seamlessly into the tactical flood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword of Vostroya, under his command, swept through the void.

The Ork ship began to tear itself apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ork fleet broke in rout. As the 6th and 11th Legion pressed the pursuit, the flagship of the Space Wolves approached the Attack Moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On its bridge, Enoch looked through the viewport at the black ships in perfect formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadows of Order's five battleships held the key orbital nodes. Frigates and destroyers spread out in escort screens, while lighter craft swarmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 11th Legion controlled the Attack Moon's perimeter. No vessel could pass their blockade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wolf Lord slammed his fists against the console, roaring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do they mean by this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anger glinted in Leman Russ's golden eyes.

Yet the Wolves stalked nearer, step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Attack Moon's surface, after seizing the third gate, Nareth received an urgent report from his Astropath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused a moment, recalling the words Russ would one day speak to Magnus during the Burning of Prospero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell him, the Shadows of Order found this Attack Moon.

Only the hum of instruments broke the stillness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes turned to the Wolf King, awaiting his judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the law of Fenris, the prey belongs to the hunter who brings it down,\" Russ growled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The pack does not steal another's kill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relief spread among the Legion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Russ stepped beside the Wolf Lord, clapping a hand upon his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enoch, vent your wrath on the greenskins.

I will win the hunt. And I will crush Nareth's damned pride.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 6h Legion's flagship was the first to strike, targeting the fifth planet under Ork control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering orbit, Enoch ordered immediate bombardment of the Orks' defenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, Nareth soon received confirmation that Russ had halted, followed shortly by news of the Wolves' assault upon the greenskin world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having just seized the fourth gate, the Primarch asked his attendant:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What of the 2nd and 7th Chapters?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arsena checked his data slate before answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord, fifteen standard minutes ago, Lord James reported the 2nd Chapter secured six corridors, with three already deactivated by the techmarines.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seventeen standard minutes ago, Lord Sanchez reported the 7th Chapter had taken nine corridor, with four shut down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth considered briefly, then issued his commands:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Order the 5th and 6th Chapters to divert two-thirds of their strength to the Attack Moon.

Now, he accelerated the plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noted the moon's properties onto his data slate: its structure, subspace drives, gravitic lash weapons, barbaric shield fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He handed the slate to his attendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Collate the techmarines' data with this and send it aboard the transports to Necromunda.
