Seeking to settle the score with Mortarion that had begun on [[Prospero]], Jaghatai became determined to charge his flagship, the ''[[Swordstorm]]'', into Mortarion's ''[[Endurance]]'' for a final stand. However inside Dark Glass, Chief [[Stormseer]] [[Targutai Yesugei]] had failed to prevent an attempt by the [[Navis Nobilite]] agent [[Veil]] to destroy device. Discovering the [[Golden Throne|throne]] at the center of the Dark Glass, Yesugei sacrificed himself to open a portal into the [[Webway]] to [[Terra]]. Jaghatai, determined to prevent Yesugei's sacrifice go to waste, instead chose escape over a last stand. The [[Swordstorm]] was abandoned, the only warriors left aboard consisting of the [[Sagyar Mazan]] led by [[Torghun Khan]].{{Fn|1}}
When Mortarion and his forces boarded the ''Swordstorm'', they were ambushed by Torghun's forces who set the vessel to self-destruct as the Khan evacuated to the ''[[Lance of Heaven]]'' and led the remaining Scars fleet into the Webway portal opened by Yesugei. Mortarion and his [[Deathshroud]] managed to massacre Torghun and the Sagyar Mazan and escape the vessel before it was destroyed, but the delay had cost him dearly. The Scars were able to escape with only minimal pursuit, but Manushya-Rakshashi's Daemons were among them. On the bridge of the ''Lance of Heaven'', the White Scars and their mortal crew held off the Daemons as [[Revuel Arvida]] guided the fleet to Terra. The Khan slew Manushya-Rakshashi, and ultimately Arvida was successful in navigating the fleet. The battered remains of the White Scars emerged over Terra, where they would later prove decisive during [[Battle of Terra|Horus' siege of the palace]].{{Fn|1}}
