Dacla was once a glittering pleasure world, but with the emergence of the Cicatrix Maledictum, now you can't throw a rock anywhere on the planet without hitting a prefabricated fortification. An entire battlefleet's worth in bastions, defense lines, and fortresses have been dropped or erected in order to bolster Dacla as a burgeoning Fortress World. What's more, the planet is a staging ground for some of the Imperium's most elite units. As such, this makes Dacla rather difficult to ignore by the Orks.
Big Mek Sizzlegrub has been working tirelessly with all the insights he's gained from his adventures in the Somnium Stars, so his time is spread thin. As such, he has equipped many of his generals with various ingenius experiments and sent them off to test against appropriate targets. Chief among these inventions have been improvements to the Shokk Attack Gun design and Traktor Kannons. What better way to test these devices than against the formidable Deathwing?
Sizzlegrub despatched one of his best pupils (and chief rivals), Big Mek Fratzblast to the Fortress World armed with a souped-up version of his Sizzlekannon backed up by a battery of Traktor Kannons and a mob of Boyz. The tide of Boyz managed to pull apart dozens of the bone-colored tin-heads, of course and the Traktor Kannons crumpled the ancient warriors into tiny balls of dense ceramite and flesh. Unfortunately, the Sizzlekannon was a disappointment. Although the invention cycled up to greater power and strength under the light of the Cicatrix Maledictum than it ever had, when the blast struck Belial, the Captain of the deathwing, it merely burned away the burnished affectations on his shoulderpads and singed his banner.
At great length, the Ork experimentation force was decimated by what remained of the Deathwing command structure. Fortunately, Sizzlegrub's grot salvage crews were able to retreive the engagement data from Fratzblast's cybork thinky bits, thus allowing the Mek Boss to further perfect his designs.
