Battlefleet Gothic: Armada - Part 1
11Set during the Gothic War, also known as the 12th Black Crusade in the Warhammer 40,000 lore, the game follows Admiral Spire of Battlefleet Gothic as he and the Imperium fight against the forces of Chaos led by Warmaster Abaddon.
The prologue begins when Spire, then a Captain, investigates an abandoned space station only to learn it has been taken over by Chaos forces and a large Chaos fleet is heading to the Gothic Sector. Spire's ship escapes and he informs his superiors, the head of the Imperial Navy of the Gothic Sector, Lord Admiral Cornelius von Ravensburg, and Inquisitor Horst of the Imperial Inquisition, of the upcoming invasion. After confirming that Spire is telling the truth, Horst promotes Spire to Admiral to lead Battlefleet Gothic to help the forces of the Imperium.
In addition to fighting the forces of Chaos, Spire's fleet also combats Ork Pirates, Eldar Corsairs, and rogue Imperial Navy vessels in the Gothic Sector. As the campaign goes on, the forces of Chaos seize control of Blackstone Fortresses for their own purpose, eventually taking over 3 of the 6 fortresses in the system; at one point, Spire has the option to accept or deny an alliance with the Eldar. At one point, one of the planets in the Gothic Sector is completely destroyed by the Planet Killer, a battleship that serves as the flagship for Abbadon the Despoiler, the chaos warmaster.
Eventually, the 3 captured Blackstone fortresses link their beams to overload a star and destroy it along with the imperial held planet in the system. Fearing Schindelgeist is next, the Imperial Navy makes a last stand at the system. Spire's fleet manages to rout the Planet Killer from the system but the Fortresses begin to fire on the star. Captain Abridal and his Overlord-Class Battle Cruiser, The Flame of Purity sacrifices himself, rushing into the focal point of the fortress beams and causing a feedback effect that disables them. With that defeat, the Chaos forces are forced to retreat from the sector and Admiral Spire is proclaimed a hero before preparing for his next campaign.
