EPILOGUE
No fourth wave came. Not that day or any day. Though the air war on Enothis continued for three
further weeks, the losses suffered by the Archenemy air force on the 270th were so severe that a
willingness to try such a venture again seemed to leave them.
The Battle of the Zophonian Sea, as the history texts now call it, was not the final fight of the
Enothian War, but it was the most decisive. In the weeks that followed, Lord Militant Humel’s
counter-offensive began and, with reinforcements from the Khan Group, the Imperial Guard began
to strike back into the south, into a demoralised enemy. The Trinity Hives finally fell, after months
of savage fighting, on the 62nd day of 774.M41. By that time, the Archenemy Magister Sek had fled
the planet. Records show that the first unit to breach the Trinity Gates was an armoured regiment
commanded by a Captain Robart LeGuin.
During the Battle of the Zophonian Sea, Imperial air losses were nine hundred and forty-eight
compared to seven thousand eight hundred and forty confirmed Archenemy machines. Of the Navy
wings involved, the highest kill tally per individual pilot was achieved by the 101st Apostles, but
three other fighter wings, including the Phantine XX, exceeded the Apostles’ combined score of
kills.
The records show that Captain Oskar Viltry, a Marauder pilot, was killed in action in the interior
desert on the 260th day of the Imperial year 773.M41.
