The search for clues in the Hadron Expanse accelerated into 10.018M42. Multiple Chaos war bands outside the control of either the Emerald Serpent or Warsmith Stahl looked to the Foramen Ignotum and the deep Expanse in order to advance their own position in they eyes of their patron gods.
A group of Emperor’s Children ended up running into the Black Legion on an insignificant world, where rumours from the warp of ancient xenos secrets had led them. Whether their encounter was by chance only the dark powers can know, but the two forces showed no sign of working together to find the prize, immediately engaging one another. The disturbance alerted vanguard forces of a tyranid splinter fleet, designated Eclipse by the imperium. The confused battle escalated, with all sides committing more forces to the engagement. Eventually the Emerald Serpent drove off the tyranids and the Black legion, who had suffered the worst in the encounter. Nevertheless the Emperor’s Children found nothing, the Hive Mind of Eclipse having already discovered and ingested information contained in the almost hidden necron ruins. The Emperors Children had won the battle, but the tyranids now knew the location of the Lysis system, where the necron device capable of creating the Foramen could be found.
