Editing Unification Wars (Hektor Heresy) (section)

==Burija's Folly==

Also known as the Martian Intervention and the Godsfall, this battle took place in the vast plains to the north of the Emperor's Palace.  Following the Pacification of Luna, newly-elected Fabricator General Valran Burija of [[Mars (Hektor Heresy)|Mars]] led an expedition to Terra to seize the Emperor's capital and impose humiliating terms upon Him.  But Burija had not reckoned on the Space Marines or their leader, the Primarch Hektor Cincinnatus.  Using the mobility of newly-acquired Yndonesian Stormbirds to rapidly redeploy, Hektor launched a massive assualt on the Mechanicum forces while they were disembarking.  As the Space Marines laid waste to the Martian invader, Burija's god-machines lay idle in their landers, unable to swing the tide of battle.  Valran Burija himself was killed by Hektor Cincinnatus and the warriors of Mars retreated as swiftly as they could.  In later years, this victory be bundled up with Hektor's other early triumphs and the Primarch would be hailed as ''Sol Regis'' - the King of Sol - for having defeated warriors from every world in humanity's birth system.
