ok this was retarded beyond belief on multiple levels.
1. Setting the assault cannon to EXTERMINATUS mode in the game files and going berserk with it did let me progress. Eventually I hit a glowy prop that triggered mission end. What was strange about it tho was that it didn't trigger any death scream.
And then... it hit me.
2. This appears to be THE ONLY RANDOM MISSION in the ENTIRE GAME that has an objective different than "kill everyone".
DOES ANYONE ACTUALLY READ THESE BRIEFINGS AFTER THE FIRST THREE ONES?????
and even better, the shit above doesn't appear anywhere in the "mission objectives" screen, because that one is full of main scenario nonsense.
Fucking wow. FFS

The Imperial Guard has all but defeated Chaos on this world, and is preparing a final assault on Chaos's stronghold. However, Chaos has constructed a powerful energy shield which protects their Citadel. We must assist our Imperial allies by locating the generator that powers this shield and destroying it and the computers that control it. Look for the generator that rests atop a large flat platform.
