The War Commander Titan is one of the largest categories of the Battle Commander Titans, second only to the Emperor level. Before the Horus rebellion, the War Commander's existence was strictly confidential, and even the highest members of the Mechanical Cult cannot discuss her publicly. These mysterious war machines were secretly placed in a specific casting world, and remained asleep in the shadows until the parent star was in danger of death. The first public use of this model was when the Mars split of the Great Rebellion, the rebellious Dead Skull Legion showed their hidden War Commander Titans, causing great trouble to the loyal side.
The biggest feature of the War Commander-level is firepower, especially long-range firepower. However, the powerful firepower also increases energy consumption. Therefore, the War Commander-level adopts a dual reactor design, with a secondary reactor to power most weapon systems, including two sect master-level incineration cannons as the main weapon, as well as four dual-Adex-type near-defense automatic cannons, missile launchers, and dual-laser cannons, which can also be installed on their shoulders. The defense provided by the 7 sets of void shield generators is unparalleled.
There are only two war commanders in Riza's warrior army that appeared in the Horus Rebellion, but in fact it is far more than this number. Moreover, Riza's war commander is quite different from Mars' war commander in terms of power and firepower. The biggest difference is that the Riza type war commander uses two Sun Rage plasma destruction cannons. This unique Titan weapon of Riza allows the war commander to perform continuous and powerful firepower output that surprises other legions.
Although it was a microgravity environment, the Titan Operation was completely unaffected. The air around the huge war machine flashed in the energy of the void shield, and slowly advanced under the dense crowd of apologists and guards. There were 2 raiders and 6 war dogs appearing with the Skull Breakers.
Then, the Apocalypse missile launcher on the huge shoulder of the Skull Breaker roared and fired the first batch of missiles. A wall of flame suddenly rose from the Red Pirates' front, and the shock wave made the surrounding kilometers full of sharp shrapnel.
In the violent bombing, the broken body of the Chaos Space Marine was thrown into the air and the demons were torn to pieces, but these were not worth mentioning compared to the imminent shocking destruction.
Soon, ultra-high temperature plasma was injected into the ion destruction cannon on the arms of the steel giant beast. The vacuum environment absorbed a powerful hissing sound, making the scene appear quiet and slow. At the same time, the deadly Vulcan cannon tube on the shoulder of the Titan also began to rotate, raising the strong wind in the continuous acceleration, tearing the Red Pirate's front, shooting from one end to the other, easily breaking through any armor.
When the final judgment came, the Red Pirates had actually collapsed. When they turned around and ran away in despair, two plasma destruction cannons emitted star-like dazzling light, and white hot energy roared out of the gun mouth, covering the Chaos Wizard's previous position, and smashed an inconspicuous "small pit" on the surface of the planet.
Although there were only less than ten Titans, the destruction they brought was inspiring and completely defeated the last hopes of the Red Pirates on the satellite. Anyway, Okot asked people to leave as soon as he saw the Titan appear.
But he was as clever as he did not run around like a headless fly, but instead led the remaining members of the war gang toward a hangar bunker that was in a melee, because staying on the satellite was destined to be dead, and the only way to survive was to grab a fighter plane and then run away.
In fact, there were many Chaos Space Marines who had the same idea as him. The defeated Red Pirate Landing Force quickly scattered, which instead caused considerable trouble for the defenders of Liuli 3. Many underground hangars were invaded, and the narrow environment was obviously beneficial to the individual powerful Chaos Space Marines, and even some hangars had the entire flight deck occupied.
Faced with this sudden factor, Soshiyang arranged for the meat-torkers and ascetics to send their troops to Liuli 3 to assist the defenders in eliminating the sporadic enemies. However, the influence of the enemy has caused the attack ability of the fighter formation to rapidly decline. At the same time, in order to deploy the landing troops, the two combat barges had to change direction, which gave the Red Pirates fleet a chance. They quickly left the battlefield with a perfect collective right turn.
It was not until this time that Soshiyang realized that the other party's real purpose was not to destroy the Star Fort, or destroying the Star Fort was just a gamble. The real goal was to place a small number of troops on the surface of the satellite, use them to interfere with the empire and create chaos, thereby creating an opportunity for the main fleet to escape. It was obvious that the Red Pirates' fleet commander was very clear about the psychology, knowing that those Chaos Space Marines would definitely try every means to invade the Empire's hangar, which was much easier than asking them to attack the Star Fort.
There was no suspense in the subsequent battle. The main Red Pirate fleet was very organized when retreating. It did not just escape, but occasionally blocked the Imperial fleet. After breaking away from the harassment of satellite fighter formations, their range advantage was taken out. Soshiyang did not dare to pursue it deeply. He could only let the other party leave the galaxy after destroying some small warships.
With the retreat of the Red Pirates Fleet, the first large-scale naval battle of the Badab expedition came to an end.
During this naval battle between Angustom, both sides invested more than 20 main battleships, hundreds of small and medium-sized warships, and the entire battle lasted for 16 hours.
Finally, after post-war statistics, the Empire lost 2 heavy cruisers, 3 strike cruisers, 4 light cruisers, and 26 destroyers.
The Red Pirates lost 2 large cruisers, 1 heavy cruiser, 5 massacre-class cruisers, 6 light cruisers, and 39 destroyers.
Not long after the war, Soshyan received secret information. After leaving the Angustorm galaxy, the Red Pirates was attacked by the Third War Zone Fleet led by Kosaro Khan. After a brief battle between the two sides, the Red Pirates lost another massacre-class cruiser and four destroyers. The Conqueror-class battleship Pathos, which participated in the battle, was originally severely damaged. In the subsequent battle with the Third War Zone Fleet, the engine was severely damaged again and could no longer keep up with the fleet. Finally, after evacuating the crew, the Red Pirates were abandoned and destroyed with torpedoes.
As for personnel, if only the Space Marines were counted, then the Empire side would have almost no losses. Only 49 combat monks from various battle groups died in counter-jump gang operations and naval battles. The Red Pirates, based on the relatively complete corpses that can be recovered on the battlefield, the Red Pirates lost 2,541 Space Marines, but considering that many of them were directly erased or only some fragments were left in naval battles, the number was likely to exceed 5,000!
