The fighting on Caitlen Station and the discovery of Tyranids
on board attracted more astartes to join the battle against the foul xenos. In
early 06.023M42 the Dark Angels committed a number of squads to join the
Hammers of the Emperor, and they quickly encountered creatures of the hive mind
as they pushed deeper into the station.
The first encounter favoured the astartes as the tyranids
were pushed back in brutal close quarters fighting, but a subsequent counter
attack further into the base caused heavy casualties. It was clear the Tyranids
were not going to be removed easily from the derelict and strategically vital
space installation.
