As 11.018M42 drew to a close the war on Hexis had dragged on for much longer than the competing powers had hoped. The forces of chaos still controlled the device chamber while the ongoing war in the ruins raged around them. With the alliance losing ground against chaos, imperial command began to worry about encirclement by chaos, so put their own offensive plans into place. While the Guard concentrated their forces for an offensive to encircle Praxis from the east, the Grey Knights led an expedition into the northern region of Valkaim. In the ancient ruins the astartes soon found resistance in the shape of the eldar. This time the eldar were not from the Kel Sandros craftworld, indicating that the alliance had managed to add more members to their cause. However the grey knights saw only xenos, and assaulted them immediately. An exceptionally violent battle erupted in the north of the city, and the Ordo Malleus forces found themselves severely tested. Eventually the Imperial force overcame the xenos, defeating the eldar and once again forcing the alliance to give ground.
