Destino 3 taken in one massive raidThe Aeldari weren't long in following up their assault on Destino VI. The most well defended planet, Destino III, was nonetheless vulnerable to an eldar assault, as the forces of chaos remained burdened by the war at Mordecai. This time, the Ul'Staer Craftworld materialised from unseen webway portals on the world, and immediately attacked the major chaos installations.
The raid at Destino III did however take more time to achieve given there were a number of chaos installations and defences to neutralise, and this allowed the Emerald Serpent to organise a coherent defence. Led by a powerful chaos sorcerer, who some claim was Ahriman himself, the Emerald Serpent prepared to meet the craftworld eldar in a final showdown at the planet's capital.
The Aeldari threw everything at the final chaos stronghold, and their numbers and power were overwhelming. The Emerald Serpent were unable to prevent the world falling to the enemy, but the Ul'Staer craftworld, seeing an opportunity to hasten the demise of the sorcerer, concentrated their firepower against the leader of the remaining resistance.
Shining Spears and Wraiths launched everything they had at the chaos sorcerer, but despite their efforts the enemy had the protection of the god Tzeentch. Somehow thee sorcerer evaded death, and although the planet duly fell to the Aeldari invasion, key command elements of the chaos forces were able to slip away. In any case the world of Destino II came under Aeldari control, with only a remnant chaos force now to clear from the system.
