Triumph at Victorix
The Triumph at Victorix was a battle waged by the 3rd Company of the Imperial Fists and the 2nd Company of the Ultramarines against remnants of Hive Fleet Kraken in 994.M41.[1]
Overview
Upon receiving a request for assistance from Cato Sicarius of the Ultramarines, Captain Garadon led the Sentinels of Terra to the eastern rim, where the remnants of Hive Fleet Kraken flailed hungrily through the void. Their destination was the shrine world of Victorix, where Roboute Guilliman and Rogal Dorn stood shoulder to shoulder against the Orks during the Great Crusade.[1]
Upon arrival, Garadon instantly recognized the Tyranids as the same strain that Shon'tu had unleashed upon Drashin nearly thirty years earlier. Fighting as a single flawless unit, the two companies preserved the shrine world from destruction, shredding wave after wave of bio-monstrosities with massed boltgun and lascannon fire. Not one stasis field around the shrine’s treasured artefact – a chainsword supposedly wielded by Dorn during the legendary battle – was breached.[1]
