''to | Driven by the horror of a past campaign against the [[Great Vampire|Vampires]], General [[Skellis]] dedicates his life to finding a way to defeat the [[Time Lord]]s' blood-sucking enemies. His work leads him to a terrible discovery. The Time Lords' method of destroying the vampires using [[molecular dispersal]] has actually spread their disease throughout time and space. This leads the Time Lords, led by [[Lord President]] [[Rassilon]] to create a new weapon, the [[Bowship]], a vessel armed with a huge steel bolt with which to impale the Vampires' leaders, the Great Ones. After all but one of the Great Ones is destroyed, Rassilon abandons the search for the missing [[King Vampire]] and declares the war a victory for the Time Lords. Rassilon takes the credit for their success, but knows he owes it all to Skellis. | ||
