Warworld was one of the greatest weapons ever created. The original Quintesson creators had designed it to be a massive defense platform, armed with a gigantic world-destroying laser, rocket batteries, and smaller energy weapon batteries. After being taken over by Vandal Savage, the immortal had used Darkseid's connections to further upgrade the vessel with stealth systems and advanced matter-replicator technology which allowed Warworld to construct its own ammunition.
While Warworld was a fearsome construct, its capabilities are not endless. The replication technology required matter in order to fuel its manufacturing processes and the reactor needed exotic gasses in order to operate. In addition, the stealth systems had a particular flaw - the Quintessons had embedded a secret identification signal undetectable by anything other than its own technology. While the Quintessons and the Infinite Empire did not last long enough to track the Battle Sphere, the Cybertronians have inherited the ability to detect the symbol.
All these flaws led to Operation: Quarter, the Autobot, and Mythic Avengers joint operation to take control of Warworld. The Battle Sphere was tracked by Optimus Prime to a previously-unsurveyed system, where it was siphoning gasses from the gas giant that was orbiting its main-sequence star. Six First Order Star Destroyers were orbiting Warworld, resupplying the weapons platform with troops, food, and other incidental supplies.
Utilizing a Cloaking Device from the Romulan Star Empire, an Autobot Shuttle docked with the Battle Sphere undetected and allowed the Mythic Avengers and a detachment of Autobots to infiltrate the structure. While much of the structure was unprotected, there were wandering teams of special operations troopers seeking out intruders. The group did run into a lone Mandalorian but was able to disable her before she could notify the First Order or the Warworld Bridge of their presence.
Able to reach the command hub, the Mythic Avengers directly encountered Vandal Savage and a detachment of Sith, who attempted to kill the invaders. While Mary and Ken dispatched the Dark Side Force-Users, Mel defeated Vandal Savage and beheaded him, claiming his Mark of Cain as her own. As she became the new Queen of Vampires, Optimus Prime incorporated the circuitry of the Battle Sphere control circlet into his Matrix of Leadership, becoming the Master of Warworld.
As Mel and the rest of the Mythic Avengers prepared their forces for the final battle, Optimus activated the full might of Warworld and set the course for the Lamba Bootis system and the final battle for the fate of Known Space.
