Yet they gave Sigismund boundless support.
As long as Gamma World provided supporting fire, holding this planet against a Tyranid Hive fleet numbering in the tens of billions would be no problem.

Outside, mechanized combat forces in space were weaving through countless starship fleets.
Within, Gamma World's core city was now flickering with light.
With every flicker,
