In the Black Legion, there exists those who were always there. Among these, were Malthus. Malthus had been in command of his Battleship since the Heresy. Countless times had he been cornered, only to escape. Countless times he had faced Orks, Eldar, the upstart Tau and many more foes. Entire races had been extinguished by him. But no enemy was more hated than the Imperium. During the Siege of Terra itself, he's ship, a gift from the Warmaster, had spilled death unto the loyalist fleet. Yet, like every other of the traitors back then, they'd been forced to flee. He had tried to hold out. To create some place for at least some of the traitorus forces to rally, so they might continue their attack. It didn't work. And thus started his obsession. His obsession to find some way to crack the spine of the Imperial fleets over his knee. Battle after battle, war after war. All was merely an opportunity to test new strategies and modify old ones. He served Abaddon, as the new Warmaster allowed him this freedom. And so it had gone for millennia. Malthus' knowledge had grown. He dominated space, seeding fear where he went. Until Spire. During the 12th Black Crusade, Malthus had lured in a battlegroup of Imperial warships. It had been a simple task really. Something akin to a sport than actual warfare. Or so he thought. The battlegroup he thought he had lured, had in reality been a distraction. Malthus' ship barely made it out of Spire's trap. And so it continued. Spire outperforming him at every turn. Until the retreat was finally called. Malthus' ancient ship was barely recognizable. Many dark worshippers on it took its survival as a sign from their dark gods. Malthus saw only luck. Luck had allowed him to survive this Spire. When the 13th Black Crusade smashed into Cadia, Malthus brought all of his knowledge to bear. His ship, now writhing and twisting with demonic flesh, spewed blood covered hooks before eating those ships who came to close. Malthus himself had become a part of the ship, feeling every point of it at once. He was the ship and it was him. There was no difference anymore. When Cadia fell, Malthus ancient face twisted into a grin as millions of tons of metal twisted to allow his fang covered maw to show his glee to those ships who still sought escape. In the Black Legion, there exists those who were always there. Among these, were Malthus. Malthus had been one with his ship since the 12th Black Crusade. Countless times he'd seen death in the eye and laughed. Countless times he'd felt entire ships crushed in his maw. Entire battlegroups had been eaten. No enemy was more hated than the Imperium. But when Spire's voice rang throughout Cadia, the ship that could not die, could not be defeated, could not be stopped, let out a scream. A scream of fear...

Spire was after the planet killer after the battle of 12th crusade ending. His return after cadia was nuked was unexpected because the warp was suddenly contained, allowing spire ship to return to normal space for the brief moment of stability the emperor beacon allowed them to forcefully get out of warp and into real space. They thought spire was too busy trying to find the planet killer through the warp, which had managed to escape his hands of destruction. Spire found where they operated their base at the edge of the emperor network, but his return to relay this intel was not possible due to the forces of chaos siege of cadia to destroy the pylons. The pylons were activated, which could be detected everywhere in the emperor network. However, the network failsafe when warp energy were being contained/dropping forcing an emergency exit to all ships in warp not located near where eye of terror/cadia to return to real space as safety within warp was lost due to loss of energy the warp provides. They were never expecting the necron pylons to free spire from the warp that trapped him. His transmission must of shocked them after cadia was nuked because they knew he had intel to where they came from to allow a force to enter the eye of terror without getting lost in warp. Imperial forces were forced to flee due to holding survivors from that planet they had to escape with.

@@infinitestateautomaton1842 Encryption codes must be changed on a regular basis or you might as well not be using any at all. 10,000 years is more than enough time for the enemies of the Emperor to decrypt Imperial transmissions.

Imagine you are a ship captain after the battle of Cadia. Your ship is adrift in space, heavily damaged from the fighting, your fleet admiral is dead, the others ships are scattered in full retreat, you barely made it out, you have no idea where you are, you have no orders, the astropath doesn't see the light of Terra. You start to imagine the Imperium may have allready collapsed for all you know and all seem hopeless, suddenly the radio pick a signal: "This is admiral Spire to all Imperial vessels, rally at Coordinates 1.5.4-5.5.4. THIS ISN'T OVER!" You almost can't believe it, a war hero from the past whose tactics were used as a basis for teaching you in school, missing for centuries suddenly showing up. "Captain, we have repaired the warp engine and the Astropath reports that the storm has cleared. What are your orders?" -"Make way to 1.5.4-5.5.4."
