Battle of Requiem: Difference between revisions

no edit summary
(An apostrophe followed by an "S" should not be italicized along with the rest of the italicized word, unless it's part of the name (like with the UNSC ''Armageddon's Edge'', for example). Also, it's more proper to use present tense when describing what's depicted in an image.)
