During the Great Crusade, the remnants of the 670th Expedition Fleet and an Alpha Legion strike force retreated to Empesal, after their failed Compliance of Nurth; which had been destroyed by the activation of a Chaos weapon, known as the Black Cube. Though the Alpha Legion was able to evacuate its entire forces, the 67th Expedition Fleet had been forced to leave half of its forces behind in its desperate escape from the doomed world. Despite this, the Primarch Alpharius was able to convince the 670th's Lord Commander, Teng Namatjira, that its aid was needed to defeat a major threat to the Imperium, located on 42 Hydra Tertius. Namatjira was eager to remove the stain, Nurth had left in his otherwise impressive campaign record and forcibly conscripted several Imperial Army Regiments and warships, that were on Empesal. After the 670th had been strengthened by these reinforcements, it quickly departed with the Alpha Legion; though nearly eight thousand Imperial Army survivors of the Nurth campaign were left behind on Empesal, due to their injuries.[1]
