Reconquest of Talixetaca
The Reconquest of Talixetaca was a battle fought by the Imperial Fists.[1]
Upon the opening of the Great Rift, the Knight World of Talixetaca was isolated for what seemed to it to be many decades. Eventually, the House Ordigia King of the world formed his own petty empire and seceded from the Imperium. A reconquest force led by Imperial Fists Lieutenant Darsio was gathered and included not only the Space Marines of the 2nd, 7th, and 10th Companies but also elements from the Red Templars and Black Consuls.[1]
As the Space Marines began their planetary invasion, it was revealed that the Librarian Cadmus had led a infiltration of Talixetaca and gathered pro-Imperial elements. The subsequent assault lasted twelve hours and saw the Imperials decisively crush the rebels as the walls of his fortress was captured. In the aftermath of the battle, the name of the False King was stricken from all records and his cashes cast into furnaces. All those that had followed him but pledged anew were given mercy. Imperial Fists remained on the world to oversee recompliance for a third of the year.[1]
