Assault on Fulgur Station

The Assault on Fulgur Station was a major spaceborne action prosecuted by the Sons of Medusa War Clan Megaera and elements of the Ordo Vahlandia.

It would come to be known as "Black Friday", the day when the Cult of the Dark Star attacked the Adeptus Arbites head quarters aboard the Fulgur Orbital Station. As the station's chrons recorded the hour at 06:00, a terrible explosion rocked the orbital base and plunged it into darkness. When emergency power came online and repair servitors were dispatched, it became clear that the source of the blast was a terrorist attack against the Arbites. The bombing was a foul success, nearly all the Arbites had been killed and the blast had torn a hole deep into the facility allowing the attackers to reach the holding cells and armory. Within a matter of minutes a large number of cultists had seized weapons and released the dread prisoners of the Arbites. As the attack continued, the now heavily armed cultists were able to overpower the few Navy armsmen that could respond to the attack. The tide of cultists swept towards the upper control decks meeting scattered but defiant resistance from Fulgur Station personal. The valiant efforts of the doomed defenders bought the station crew enough time to send a variety of distress calls. By 07:23 the heretic forces of the cultists were in complete control of the station. The unfortunate residents of the Fulgur Orbital Station, nearly fifty thousand loyal Imperial souls, would be condemned to a life of toil under the blasphemous reign of the Cult of the Dark Star. But things were soon to change...
