[b]Aboard the [i]Unrepentant[/i]-Lunar class cruiser Varian Sector, System 64457839 Ultima Segmentum[/b] It had been another successful raid, Warlord Beraesh of the warband "Khorne's Word" had struck at the Imperium in the Varian Sector once more butchering thousands of the Emperor's servants while mercenaries and minor warband leaders were either hired on or tagged along to grab at his tail coats. Almost undefended the civilized world of Heliopolis was caught unaware by the strike. Striking fast and hard he did his work while those with him went about their own personal tasks before withdrawing to the landing zones to escape to his cruiser. This time things went different, an Imperium Lunar class cruiser, [i]Remorseless[/i] had exited the warp shortly before the [i]Unrepentant[/i] entered and with it's pair of escorts in tow pursued the Chaos warband into the warp. Few captains were willing to do so as the dangers of the twin warp storms are ever present with only corrupted navigators and psykers able to consistently and safely navigate the warp storms. The captain of the [i]Remorseless[/i] would not allow an enemy to escape so easily though and pursued. Then in a system with no life and known only by a series of digits caught up to them where they struck immediately at the Chaos vessel. It was a brutal fight but the Imperium outnumbered and outgunned the Chaos warship even though both escorts now burn. Warlord Beraesh gave the order though to close on his enemy, with the gap in firepower ever widening as the ships pounded each other his only chance was to ram and break the spine of the Imperium vessel. The captain of the [i]Remorseless[i] was an old hand at naval warfare and dodged the armored prow but caught the ship none the less. Colliding the ships hit at incredible speed and were lodged together crippling them both. Boarding parties are now moving freely through both ships trying to defeat the enemy vessel man to to man so that they may free themselves and potentially salvage their vessel.
