Rorschach's Chain of Schemes!

Rumble—

Amid the ceaseless roar of engines,

the azure sky was almost completely blotted out by countless flying vehicles.

At times, not even a sliver of light could reach the ground, leaving layer upon layer of shadows sweeping repeatedly across the land.

Large numbers of Thunderhawk Gunships from the fleet and Astartes transport ships from the Ecclesiarchy World rapidly shuttled between the surface and the fleet, continuously transporting countless mortals and essential supplies.
