Editing Gothic War (section)

==In Other Media==

The Gothic War is the setpiece for the first '''Battlefleet Gothic: Armada''' game, which greatly expands on the events of the 12th Black Crusade. Players take on the role of Admiral Spire, a trusted and vouchsafed (by the Inquisition, no less) officer under Von Ravensburg's command who essentially becomes his primary frontline leader (while Von Ravensburg himself takes a more strategic role).

Through the course of the game, one can either follow the canon beats of the Gothic War, or mix things up a bit by ''changing things entirely'' through one's choices in missions. Recover ''both'' the Hand of Darkness and Eye of Night, and turn them over to the Inquisition for research and safekeeping? Go ahead. Say SCREW YOU to the Eldar, and win the Battle of Gethesemane ''anyway'' without any alliance? Doable.

The war was also the subject of two (rather old) novels, '''Shadow Point''' and '''Execution Hour'''. These follow the exploits of one Captain '''Leoten Semper''' and his cruiser '''Lord Solar Macharius''' during the conflict.
