Antennia is an Imperium world that was invaded some time after the Great Rift's creation by the Ork Waaagh! of Warlord Gharka. However, a strike force from the Salamanders Chapter arrived to save Antennia and bring the Warlord's rampage to an end.[1]

In the battle that followed, though, both sides were evenly matched and wielded Flame Weapons that devastated Antennia's surface. It was only after a Primaris Aggressor Squad from the Chapter's Third Company was able to advance into the Ork horde and bathe them in flames that the battle finally turned. The heat from the Aggressors' weaponry proved to be too much for the fuel tanks in the Orks' weapons to handle, and this caused them to explode in a vast fireball which incinerated hundreds of Greenskins. The remaining Orks were left broken by the explosions and Gharka's Waaagh! was brought to an end, though it is not known if the Warlord was killed in the battle. As for Aggressors, they emerged unharmed from the explosions they caused and in the wake of their heroic victory, the Salamanders gave them a title to honour their achievement: the Infernal.[1]
