Editing Forum:Shadowkeeper

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 consisting of Cabal and Shadowkeepers, 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.
