NARRATIVE / THE GREAT SCOURING: BATTLE FOR PARAMAR V
Horus has been slain by the Emperor, who, having been mortally wounded, is confined to the Golden Throne.
Loyalist forces seek vengeance.
The war-torn planet of Paramar V has been a major battleground throughout the Horus Heresy; being a gateway into the Sol system.
The first two Battles for Paramar V were hard-fought victories for traitor forces.
Now, following Horus’s loss at the Siege of Terra, Paramar V has once more become a battleground of contention; a proxy war for the greater conflict at large.
