Один из Миров-Ульев Империи был практически уничтожен в войне, которая длилась несколько лет (и еще пару десятков лет продолжались бои с остатками противника). В войне приняли участие три ордена космодесанта - Ангелы Крови, Саламандры, и Ультрадесант. Малоизвестно, однако, что эта война, в которой погибли миллиарды людей, была начала чтобы спасти всего десять тысяч. Что это была за война ? Что это за десять тысяч ? И кто принял решение ее начать ?
Не дают покоя баржи мне=)
