Its Homeworld lies close to the Forge World Kernak III and Xiphos' Knights aided in repelling an invasion by the Ork Warboss Nabrot Stubfingers in the past. However Stubfingers' hordes invaded again, after the Pankallis Sub-sector was attacked by Orks and Tyranids in M42. This time, despite House Xiphos sending its Knights to defend Kernak III once again, the Forge World fell to Stubfingers' hordes. Even as it did so, the Warboss ensured House Xiphos could not send further aid, by also invading their Homeworld, Kernak IV. While they killed many of Stubfingers' invading Orks, his hordes sheer numbers overwhelmed the House Xiphos and their Homeworld was conquered.[1a]
