As 11.042M42 progressed the Imperium still showed no intention of leaving the Rifts of Hecate. Despite having his resources and strategic supply reduced, general Maximus still managed to consolidate his hold over Helos Majoris and Ferrosiun. On Helos Majoris the Dark Angels continued to respond to remnant tyranid infestations following several raids by Hive Fleet Poseidon. The Dark Angels were aided in this by detachments of Novgorod guard, who deployed in small combat formations to hunt down and destroy dangerous infestations of the hinterlands.
On Haven, the orks launched their first offensive for months, taking the Hammers of the Emperor by surprise and inflicting a shock defeat on the Imperium. This had now become a critical situation as the loss of Haven would threaten imperial supply routes through the Hecate Gap. Maximus ordered his forces to dig in and requested urgent reinforcement, hoping the orks would not strike again before they were available.
