The Battle of Vhospis was fought in 984.M41 between the defenders of the Imperium and the forces of Chaos.[1]

After a Warp Rift opened up on the Feudal World of Vhospis, the defenders, still relying on pikes and metal armour, proved easy prey for the Daemonic invaders. An Astropath distress call reached the Silver Sabres Space Marines, whose chapter planet, Mercuria, was less than a light-year away. Unfortunately for Vhospis, the Daemons hunting the skies above the planet's besieged castles destroyed almost all of the Drop Pods launched towards the surface. A single Space Marine survived and rallied the people of Vhospis, re-igniting their faith in the Emperor. Slowly, day by day, this sole Marine was able to turn the tide.[1]
