With the Foramen open, Lord Maximus took steps to reinforce the imperial presence in the Imperium Nihilis. Along with the Lycanon regiments deployed to Mordecai, further Novgorod forces and Knight houses were transferred to Bastien and the command of General Veers in the Perseus Deeps. Veers immediately began exercises for the newly arrived troops, but this was greatly aided by the arrival of the Grey Knights and Imperial Fists.
Newly equipped with land raiders, the Grey Knights tested their new battle-force against an array of other imperial forces, honing their techniques and defeating an entire Novgorod battle group in the process. The Imperial Fists were a harder test which the Ordo malleus forces only narrowly lost, but the overall effect was a boost in imperial morale. The Imperium were winning again - in the Deeps, the Foramen and the Hadron Expanse, and the appearance of astartes and fresh imperial formations on exercise in the deserts of Bastien solidified imperial rule across the sector. A new mood of optimism now permeated the Empire of Mankind across the Aleph Sector.
