« CADIA STAND» Jokes aside, what Abaddon achieve during the fall of cadia was well lets be honest a phyric victory. A.K.A it was not worth it. I mean yeah sure he broke a key strategic point for the imperium, but at a cost way to high: Kamikazing the Blackstone fortress for one planet was beyond any logic, the thing could have definitly destroyed many other imperial worlds or even space marine chapters but nah let waste it on ONE PLANET. Blackstone Fortress are relic of the past and thus quite the rarety. Abaddon can't just snap his finger to make one pop out of nowhere? Cadia survive: If abaddon was truly victorious, no Cadian would be left alives, and by that i mean the one that would still be willing to fight. Many of theses guys evacuated the planets and they will form new regiments by sharing cadian war doctrine. To put it simply, he broke a wall, but ''unfortuantely for him'', there is still a thousand walls behind said wall, and like the moron that he is he somehow wasted all his demolition charge on the first one, wich he should have use to pulverise the rest.

My favorite detail about the fall of Cadia is the guardsmen being flown to safety on the shuttles reported seeing fighting on the PIECES of Cadia that were being blown away and pulled into the warp Cadians refused to give up as their planet was literally cracking up beneath them.

[@Kameth]

"Sit rep, Lance-corporal" "Well, our platoon is gone, our unit is under manned, most of us are walking wounded, the planet beneath our feet is now many asteroids, our lack of air support has now transitioned into a lack of space daring support, the atmosphere will completely run out in 90 seconds, we're surrounded by Abaddon's forces not just north to south, west to east but up and down as well, said asteroid we are on is falling into the Eye of Terror and we're down to three crates of lasgun ammunition." "You know what that sounds like?" "We're in a target rich environment, Sir?" "Correct, Lance-corporal. Continue firing at the enemy! CADIA STILL STANDS. FOR THE EMPEROR!"

Astartes are also known to straight up KILL anyone that speaks badly about Cadians in their presence. There are two that I know of in short stories. One was a Space Wolf that straight up snapped the neck of an Inquisitor mid sentence for calling the Cadians weak. Another was a Black Templar that cut a General's head off for speaking badly about Cadia. They won't put up with anyone speaking badly about the guard in general, but speaking badly about Cadia is a death sentence when in the presence of an Astartes.

[@Akranejames]

To be fair, I think Creed being in Trazyn's vault is, narratively, less of a fate of eternal imprisonment and more of a way for the writers to stash him away until needed.

Yeah the most tear jerking moment of the Fall of Cadia is; as the shuttles were flying away, Creed and the entire Cadian 8th stayed behind, still holding the line. Hell in the Cadia Stands novel the evacuation of the planet was just heartbreaking, where none of the remaining Cadian officers realized Creed was still on-planet until they were high up in orbit, even Creed's staunchest rivals admitted that he was literally the one driving figure that had been keeping them united. Where because of the planet breaking apart, some regiments were either completely cut off from their evacuation sites, some had to abandon their gear and got ambushed by the Iron Warriors. Even more Guardsmen were basically abandoned because of the landers being 'full', some of the evacuation shuttles got shot down trying to escape the planet, and even worse were the landers who tried going back for more Cadians they'd left, only to never return.

Terra has a population of numerous quadrillions according to the Watchers of the Throne novels, which seems reasonable. Another good example is how in the Fall of Cadia cinematic of BFG Armada II, you can see literal swarms of Imperial and Chaos ships duking it out, enough to make the official numbers for the battle of Coruscant seem paltry in comparison. 15:31 Kreig" You gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers." Cadia was also first discovered by the Imperium when Lorgar went on his pilgrimage to find Chaos. The neighboring Scarus sector is also named in honor of one of the fallen Word Bearers captains that was with him. Perturabo was the one who coined the term "Eye of Terror", too since he could see it from anywhere in the galaxy since infancy. 20:12 **Loud background Salamanders and Sosoritas noises intensify** 22:02 So something like this continuously for a few months? kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ7XnGaBmNiSmJI 44:40 The initial battle probably looked something like this: www.deviantart.com/martechi/art/Death-of-the-Garden-Crusade-Impressions-184-848324873 1:01:43 and for all their effort, the Ruinous powers somehow managed to open the Cicatrix a whole 50 degrees off course. The original plan was to have the Warp overtake a direct passage to Terra and overwhelm it. 1:08:36 The new Blackstone books and game states that there is an internal chamber in the fortress over a hundred miles across, and some people calculated the entire fortress to be around 900+ km in size. The Phalanx had been attacked by a fuckoff-hueg daemonic incursion and thus they had to self-destruct a lot of their own weapons to prevent Chaos from taking over it. So the Phalanx, heavily damaged, daemon0infested, and with only like 10% of its weapons functioning, wipes the fucking floor with the Blackstone fortress. also, the size of a moon would be better for the phalanx, it literally has internal storage hangars and chapels so large that unique species and ecosystem with their own climates exist in them.

I saw this from another comment on a video of the same subject-- Abaddon did originally intend to capture Cadia and make it his prize (as Bricky mentioned, Cadia was a bastion of humanity, a physical testament to the strength of the imperium in the face of literal hell itself) but then the Eye of Terror started closing, and he basically had a straight-up panic attack. The closure of the Eye of Terror would have spelt doom for literally every chaos world that was sustained by the Warp flowing through it, which would have been a serious, serious blow to chaos (hell, it may have resulted in their ultimate defeat) and so he made the choice (the only choice, really) to destroy the planet entirely rather than let Chaos fall. The planet broke before the guard did indeed.
