The Conflict
The Battle for Terra has entered a new and terrible phase. Across the ash-choked approaches to the Imperial Palace, the ground trembles beneath the tread of god-engines, and the sky burns with the light of weapons built to kill cities. Vox traffic collapses into static. Orders arrive too late, or not at all. Whole battalions vanish behind curtains of fire, dust, and machine-screams.
As the traitor war engines advance and the loyalist lines strain beneath the weight of the assault, every sector becomes a killing ground. Commanders on both sides are ordered to seize ground, hold breaches, silence enemy engines, and buy time with blood and iron.
This is not a clean war of maneuver. This is the hour when walls crack, Titans fall, and the fate of Terra is decided in the shadow of impossible machines.
