Now united in purpose, the eldar race immediately used their advantage of the webway to take the fight to the forces of chaos, the main enemy. The Ynnari along with their Ul'Staer Craftworld allies launched an assault against the forces of chaos still holding significant territory in the Paradorn system. Although the main goal of the Ynnari was not to take territory, the systems dominating the Foramen could not be allowed to remain in chaos hands.
The defence put up by the forces of chaos, notably the Emerald Serpent was far greater than the Aeldari expected. The Ynnari, despite having the element of surprise, found the resistance from elite Thousand Sons difficult to overcome, and it seemed the tzeentch sorcerers had been forewarned of the attack. The Ynnari assault did manage to achieve its objectives, but the element of surprise had well and truly been lost when the Craftworld eldar of Ul'Stear appeared. The Emerald serpent pushed the eldar back, forcing them to abandon much of the territory gained, with the result that as of 2403.020M42 the Aledari alliance had actually lost ground.
