The Battle of Tytus took place in 676.M40.^[1]

Overview

During fierce fighting on the mountainous moon of Tytus, the Blood Angels of Strike Force Alenso succumbed to the Red Thirst en masse. Though they smashed into their greenskin foes with unstoppable fury, the Blood Angels were swiftly engulfed.^[1]

Buried beneath the relentless green tide, it appeared that Strike Force Alenso was lost. Yet at the last moment, a heroic drop-offensive by the Elysian 46th Airborne rescued the Blood Angels from disaster. In the battle’s wake, Captain Alenso personally honoured the Elysians’ Colonel, Vandegrahst, displaying a humility that left the Imperial Guard officer speechless.^[1]
