HsojVvad Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 After rereading the fluff again to make my own Unforgiven Chapter for the competition, I am having doubts that Caliban is really destroyed. I don't know, something bothers me that "The Rock" survived because of it's force fields but the rest of the planet was gone. If something that powerful enough can destroy a planet, I am sure the force fields would not be strong enough to protect what's inside from it. So I think it's one of those stories that is just Lore but not true. After all 10 000 years has passed who knows what the original story was. Also I am starting to see the Dark Angels more and more like the Alpha Legion, where they like having false information around. I am sure this is something Dark Angels would do and make the Imperium believe that Calabin was destroyed so nobody would be coming around and see the Proof of The Fallen. After all, who is going to look for a planet that was destroyed 10 000 years ago? Maybe the Dark Angels can "hide" the planet some how. Maybe I watched Return of the Clones too much. :P What do you think? Caliaban destroyed or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Lucifer Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 My suspension of disbelief works better for the chunk of rock theory than for the "hide a planet" theory. Plus it's way cooler to space-travel on a piece of rock from former planet than just a raandom asteroid. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother dean Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 How did they get the hunk of rock with the fortress of Aldurach out of the planetary gravity well? The Lion's pet warp entity might have been able to do it but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Depending on how the planet broke up, it was probably thrown outward... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurieus Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 HERESY ! No really... Caliban is gone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Belial Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 From what I recall in the fluff, the crust of the planet was severely weakened by the bombardment so when the resulting warp storm took place, the planet broke apart. When GW did the Eye of Terror campaign, I think one of the areas to fight in were the ruins of Caliban. So I would say it is definitely destroyed but there are chunks still there.

shabbadoo Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 It fell over, and sank into the swamp...er...warp. Caliban is truly gone, it being so many chunks (none of them remotely as sizeable as The Rock) floating about in real space/the Warp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoebus Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 What a shame. How grand would it be if each Successor Chapter had a Rock of their own, each capable of taking on a fleet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HsojVvad Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Chunks of rock floating around? Like in Warlock 2 video game, Shards? That would still be so cool mystical shields around these shards so the Jungles of Caliban can still be flourishing. Thanks, just gave me some more ideas. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aura_enchanted Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 holder of the keys audio drama should be all the evidence you need. in it big zeke interrogates a fallen who describes caliban being destroyed as he flees caliban.

Retaliation Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Kind of hard to lie to a psyker whose specialty is ferreting out your innermost thoughts and desires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I don't think it was destroyed either. With a demon in the planet and one on a ship it's not hard to imagine the Rock surviving the planets entry into the warp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aura_enchanted Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Kind of hard to lie to a psyker whose specialty is ferreting out your innermost thoughts and desires. the above said I'm fairly certain the dark angels don't hide from the general public that caliban was levelled by their own orbital fire.
