After his escape from his Drukhari captives admiral Enkvist didn’t get very far. The Drukhari base was situated on a barren world almost inimical to life, with no permanent settlements. Eventually Enkvist was able to send a distress signal once he was clear of the Xenia compound, and days later the admiral was found by the rest of the imperial force sent to rescue him.
The remaining imperial guard detachment escorted Enkvist to their shuttle, heading out into the outer reaches where the imperial destroyer waited to pick them up. They never made it. The shuttle was easily picked up by the Crimson Blade Kabal’s sensor equipment, and a small team was able to penetrate the shuttle and overwhelm the guardsmen and navy ratings. Looking amused at their little game, the dark eldar took their prisoner back to their base.
Meanwhile the dark eldar were inconvenienced on the ground by a scouting group of genestealers. This extra sport was unwelcome, but the Drukhari despatched the aliens anyway. They did not want the hive mind interfering with their plans. Unlike the other factions the Foramen Ignotum was a secondary concern. The Drukhari were after something far more valuable.
