While the Ynnari and their craftworld eldar allies continued to prosecute their campaign against the Imperium on Corticant, the Kel Sandros had matters to deal with elsewhere. Taking advantage of the distraction of the war on Mordecai, the eldar craftworld assaulted the weaker forces of chaos on Destino, a system which had been held by the eldar and chaos forces since the war for the Foramen had begun. The eldar hadn't shown much interest in fully taking the system, a situation the forces of chaos were content with, but on 0904.020M42 a full scale attack by the Kel Sandros fell upon the ice world of Destino VI.
Unprepared and ill equipped to deal with the invading eldar, the small chaos warband garrisoning the world was swiftly overrun and destroyed. These "second line" forces, mostly loyal to the former leader of chaos in the sector - Lorek - once again failed to distinguish themselves, attracting the ire of Warsmith Stahl and the Emerald Serpent alike. However, these forces had been deliberately ill equipped and posted to backwater planets, a fact the Kel Sandros had been all to willing to take advantage of.
