Battle of Loqe II
The Battle of Loqe II was a battle that took place sometime after the creation of the Great Rift.[1]
Overview
In the shadows of the Dark Imperium, a small Imperial fleet finds itself beset by Tyranid Hive Ships. The Imperial flagship, the Terra Nostra, is transporting Primaris Space Marine Geneseed under the protection of Custodian Wardens. Seeing that the fleet will soon be overrun, the guardians’ Shield-Captain orders an emergency teleport to the nearby death world of Loqe II. Pursued by Tyranid swarms, the Wardens retreat into the volcanic highlands and prepare to defend their precious cargo. Wave after wave of Tyranids surge forth, but the Custodians repulse every attack.[1]
A month later, a relief force of Marines Malevolent arrive in orbit and drive away the Hive Ships. On the planet below they find a single living Warden, grievously wounded yet still standing guard over the untouched boon of technology amidst a fortress of heaped Tyranid corpses.[1]
