The raid on Palantir by the imperial forces in earlu 07.018M42 was part of a two pronged assault on the Echo Cluster from their new base at Vanir. The intent was to soften up chaos forces in order to prepare the way for a reclamation invasion later in the month. However the raid did not result in victory for the Imperium.
Unknown to the Novogorod Guard selected for the assault on Dale, the chaos forces had recently been reinforced by the Aether Striders, a renegade Knight household which had now taken up residence in the service of the Emerald Serpent. With Knights to contend with the Novgorod found themselves under-gunned and over stretched very swiftly, and the raid caused little to no actual damage to the capacity of chaos to defend their possessions.
Realising the imperium would need a lot more strength to defeat the chaos forces at Palantir the Novogord force was evacuated from the surface a mere 36 hours after its landfall, ignominiously retreating once more from the colony which they had once claimed to be saving.
