A colossal weapon, freshly assembled, hung above, loaded with Blackstone constructs.
The Warp-sealing field formed by these Blackstone constructs could nearly enclose an entire star system.
Its immense power even reinforced reality itself, making it extraordinarily difficult for the Warp to tear open rifts again. This device was Gamma World's response to Vashtorr's energy world rooted in realspace. Its purpose was to destroy the heart of Vashtorr's planetary energy supply, along with the adepts of his Dark Mechanicum.
The fluctuations from that energy planet had already been detected when Vashtorr was near Cadia.
