Dawn of War II - Retribution - Plot: The player's character arrives on Typhon Primaris to engage an opposing faction and defeat its leader. (Space Marines vs. Chaos, Eldar vs. Orks, and Imperial Guard vs. Tyranids). It is learned that the Imperial Inquisition has deemed the sub-sector beyond redemption, and will be arriving soon to carry out an Exterminatus action on all the inhabitable worlds in the region.Later, the faction leader is given the objective to eliminate Azariah Kyras who intends to use the impending Exterminatus as a genocidal sacrifice to Khorne and ascend to daemonhood as a Daemon Prince. The motivation varies depending on the player's faction, for example the Space Marines, Imperial Guard and Eldar wish to oppose Chaos, their ancient Archenemy; the warlike Orks simply want a good fight and to thump the strongest foes they can find; the Tyranid splinter fleet wishes to overrun the sub-sector and summon a new hive fleet to consume all the biomass; the Chaos Space Marine faction are Kyras' rivals for the attention of Khorne and wish to surpass him in the Blood God's favour.Regardless, it is deemed by the player's faction that Kyras must die. The player quickly attempts to secure a means of transport off Typhon, escaping a local Chaos Cult along the way.Arriving on Calderis, the player character fights against Kyras' Chaos-corrupted Blood Ravens Space Marines, operating under orders to purge the planet. After destroying a Warp portal on Aurelia, the player's faction learns of an attack on Meridian ordered by Kyras and arrives there killing the Traitor Guardsmen and uncovering a transmission from Kyras revealing his location on Typhon.The player's faction returns to Typhon Primaris to confront Kyras himself, only to be ambushed by Eldar from Craftworld Biel-Tan. Wary of a ritual they are performing, the player's faction kills the Eldar there.Following this, Kyras reveals that the Eldar ritual was preventing the Imperial Inquisition fleet from arriving at the sub-sector. The Inquisition fleet arrives, beginning an Exterminatus action on Typhon Primaris. The player's faction escapes Typhon before the Exterminatus is complete. A Cyclonic Torpedo reduces Typhon's surface to ash.Finding themselves on the space hulk known as the Judgment of Carrion, the player's faction recovers, and finds new determination to stop Kyras. It is deduced that the Renegade Chapter Master and his followers are hiding on Cyrene, as that Dead World already underwent Exterminatus solar decades before, and therefore the Inquisition will not travel there to perform another Exterminatus action.On Cyrene, the player's faction launches an attack against a joint alliance of Chaos Space Marines, corrupted Imperial Guardsmen and Traitor Blood Ravens by using their most powerful unit against them.Kyras begins to ascend to daemonhood during the course of the battle. Captain Gabriel Angelos and his 3rd Company launch an attack on Kyras' forces while Gabriel's own Command Squad confronts the emergent Daemon Prince himself; however, they are defeated by Kyras and his newfound power as a servant of the Blood God.The player's faction then launches their own attack, ultimately successfully killing Kyras.
