Fields of Cratosi

The Fields of Cratosi was a location on Cratosi where the Battle of Cratosi Fields was fought in the War in Heaven.

Apep was misplaced on the Fields during the war between Sutekh and Horus. Thinking that Apep could be a useful weapon against the Great Houses, Mother and Father of the Shadow Spire sent a garrison of skulltroopers, including Intrepid, to the Fields in a supposed training exercise. However, before Apep could be recovered, a small militia of Eighth Wave soldiers arrived and engaged the Faction agents. Due to the resultant clash between timeship weapons and alter-time states, the battle was trapped in a frozen second, abandoned by both sides. The Homeworld fleet abandoned the blue sphere, and it drifted through the Spiral Politic before being recovered and sold at the First Auction in Heaven as a lawn ornament.
