Following the discovery of Palantir the Imperium had been devastated by its loss to chaos. It was only a matter of time before the Imperium would mount a counter invasion and with the power of Chaos apparently waning and the arrival of Lycaon and House Eagleclaw reinforcements, Admiral Enkvist escorted a significant force of imperial knights and guard to the outer reaches of the Palantir system in early 07.018M42.
Finding no resistance in space, the fleet moved inwards, landing a Knight Retinue and several Guard Regiments on the world of Hobbiton, near to the main settlements - a series of villages and towns inhabited by the short abhumans of the world. The imperial army soon found the inevitable tragedy of a world shackled to the chaos gods. The abhumans had been forced into slavery, and their previously idyllic country lifestyle had been destroyed, with ore mines and factories now belching smoke across what had once been fields and glades.
The Knights led the vanguard of the battle to free the citizens of Hobbiton, which were now under the gruesome slaver hand of the Death Guard. Infected and downtrodden, the inhabitants of the planet were shocked to see the Knights of Eagleclaw striding into the main settlements, seeking out their Nurgle oppressors. Eventually the Death Guard mounted a serious counter-attack, but the Knights were well prepared. Using their missiles to take out the vile nurgle sorceror, despite the interventions of Mortarion's Sons the Death Guard were quickly dispatched by the rampaging Knights, with the Imperial Guard following up. On 1707.018M42 the liberation of the abhuman settlements was complete and the Imperial commander was able to give the signal "Hobbiton Stands!"
