{{Quote|My allies aboard that decrepit derelict, hear me and rejoice! Your old master, the pompous and flamboyant fool that was [[Emperor Calus|Calus]], thought he could comprehend the [[Darkness]], bend it to his will, become one with it, and reign over the universe like a child ambitiously pursuing an impossible future. And in that pursuit, he vanished- nay, he was vanquished by the Darkness. He could never control its will and so he was consumed, lost forever in the dark world of un-being. But, I say, good riddance! Now, BEHOLD! Your true savior! Kirito! He gazed the abyss and the abyss didn't simply glance him like the pathetic chaff of the wheat, nay, it chose him! He now leads us to a new golden age, one where we will all prosper, not in the shadow of war, but in the shadow in its purest form. So, if you do wish to witness this magnificent tomorrow, reject your hedonistic ways and your incessant vanity and join us. As for those who refuse, fear not, salvation shall come to you too, but not in apotheosis, but in the bittersweet embrace of death. Either way, the Leviathan shall belong to us, to its right and true owners.|Gha'arn rallying his followers to capture the Leviathan.}} | {{Quote|My allies aboard that decrepit derelict, hear me and rejoice!

Before the [[Forum:Second Collapse|Second Collapse]], Gha'arn would begin a full scale assault on [[The Leviathan]] in the hopes of capturing it for the Legion in the hopes of adding a flagship to their fleet. With the help of loyal saboteurs and spies aboard the ship, the primary force, led by Gha'arn, would rapidly seize a foothold aboard the ship, first establishing a base of operations within the Castellum. From there, they managed to slowly advance throughout the vessel, facing off against the [[Loyalists]] rather advanced and psionically empowered defenses, as well as [[Emperor Calus]]'s mechanical proxies. Stretched thin, however, the clashing forces would enter a stalemate, gaining no ground and taking equal casualties each skirmish. That was until the reserve force, led by the combined forces of Shua'aud and Nu'uorc, arrived and quickly sabotaged the ship's planet-eating engine and captured the ship's core and advanced to the Celestial Observatory, with the combined might of the forces, the army easily penetrated the reinforced defenses of the remnant Loyalists and finally took the astral spire and marched onto the Power Conduit beneath. Here, the two massive forces clashed as [[Thresher]]s and [[Harvester]]s engaged in dogfights, [[Goliath Tank]]s exchanged barrages of Planet Cracking rounds and their armies collided and, despite the fierce opposition the Loyalists demonstrated, they would be driven back to their last and most impregnable stronghold, the Menagerie, losing a massive chunk of their forces, many of their armor columns and their entire air regiment of Gunships. Despite the disheveled state of the true Loyalists, the remnant faction, now led by de-facto commander, [[Forum:Commander Roudak|Roudak]], would manage to drive off their invaders with minimal casualties thanks to the commanders brilliant and careful use of the [[Vex|Menagerie's]] [[Hive|inhabitants]]. That would be until the arrival of the Shadow Enclave, where its leader, [[Forum:Aethrox, Shadow's Hunger|Aethrox]], would unleash his beloved champion, [[Forum:Bracus Korvam, the Famished Champion|Korvam]], against the impregnable stronghold. Within hours, thanks to Korvam's immense psionic arsenal and cohorts, the last hope of Calus's true loyalists would fall and, despite an admirable last stand made by Roudak and the last proxy of his Emperor, their last leader would be captured and, humiliatingly, imprisoned within the corridors he once called his stronghold. | Before the [[Forum:Second Collapse|Second Collapse]], Gha'arn would begin a full scale assault on [[The Leviathan]] in the hopes of capturing it for the Legion in the hopes of adding a flagship to their fleet.

Now with the planet eating ship within his grasp, Gha'arn would repurpose, modify and reshape the ship to the Shadow Legion's image. The throne room became his personal chambers and mock court, the Gauntlet, Hunting grounds and Menagerie became research facilities for weapons and tactics, the lattermost chamber also becoming a base for the Legion's Psion Enclave, the Celestial Observatory a bridge, the Power Conduit a makeshift city, named Katharsis, and weapons factory and the maw a shipyard for his expansive fleet. Its hull would be reinforced with more enhanced and durable armor, shield projectors and retrofitted with more advanced and factory condition weaponry fresh from the Shadow's prestigious engineers and repainted in the image of of the Shadow Legion. The Leviathan was renamed '''[[Forum:The Abaddon|The Abaddon]]''' and, as according to plan, became a flagship and dreadnaught for the [[Forum:Shadowkeeper|Shadowkeeper]] army. With the newly named Abaddon in hand, the ship and its battle fleet quickly encroached upon [[Empress Caiatl|Caiatl]] and her fleet of scattered [[Imperial Cabal]] in preparation for the [[Forum:Second Collapse|Second Collapse]]. | Now with the planet eating ship within his grasp, Gha'arn would repurpose, modify and reshape the ship to the Shadow Legion's image.
