The World Engine story involved a massive Imperial force that basically got their asses handed to them by a moon-sized installation until the Astral Knights managed to make planetfall and overload the core the grug way, Halo style. It's a bit of a sobering point to think that a vast, vast majority of 40k authors don't care about the intricacies of logistics or strategy and want to make micro sci-fi stories in homage to the things that inspired them like Homeworld and Marathon, makes a lot of the radical inconsistencies with how things would logically go make much more sense. <|endoftext|>
