Operation Arjax 3

 

Spacehulk Shard of Tartarus- During Operation Arjax the shattered remnants of a bulk carrier was discovered in the inner part of the hulk.  Stygian forces sent in to clear it were decimated by warp attacks from both warp poltergeists haunting the bulk carrier and warp spawn entities.  Still enough had been cleared that the Alpha Legion could access the space bringing with them Warpsmiths, sorcerers, and a master of possession along with members of the Dark Mechanicum.  It would be up to them to either deal with or eradicate the warp influence in this underbelly section of The Shard of Tartarus.

 

In most cases runes, wards, and rituals were used to trap and contain the warp entities.  sometimes these entities were repurposed into the greater function of the Space Hulk.  Some entities were trapped within vox speakers units to act as an alarm.  Others were bound to The Shard of Tartarus's command deck and acted as internal surveillance and monitors with the entities trapped in the walls acting as the bridges eyes and ears.   Some warp entities were trapped into inscribed servitors and other dark mechanicus artifices in order to create a bound daemon weapon.

One of these bound creations that acted as a additional security detachment aboard the Shard of Tartarus was the terrorgheist.  A collection of bones, servo motors, wiring and cloaks with a massive eviscerater.  they were used to trap and bind warp poltergeists who then animated the collection.  They were then tasked with the guarding of key areas and haunting and hunting down intruders.  Thus the third phase of Operation Arjax came to a close.
