Illirisa is an Eldar Maiden World that was colonized by the Imperium and became known as Irdruk. This came to an end, however, when the Eldar of Craftworld Biel-Tan appeared sometime after the creation of the Great Rift.[1]
The Eldar then gave an ultimatum to the Imperium population on the world, to leave Illirisa or be destroyed. Their offer was refused, as it was believed that the Astra Militarum regiments garrisoning the world would be more than enough to defeat the Craftworld's forces. This was quickly proven false, as Biel-Tan used the Swooping Hawks of the Sky Talon Shrine to great affect against the plodding regiments and Illirisa was reclaimed for the Eldar.[1]
