Xaltoic Heresy
The Xaltoic Heresy was a battle during the Indomitus Crusade.[1]
The war saw the Imperial Fists 6th Company combat the rebellious world of Xalto V. Intercessor Squad Phaerion oversaw the construction and defense of a rampart complex between the main landing field and volcanic foothills. So lethal were the layered defences and automated kill zones built into that lonely stretch of rampart that those few battle-brothers held their ground with no aid save from the servitors responsible for its construction.[1]
For nearly a week, the Rebellious Idolatrix Serrasta spent the lives of her blood-drunk cultists against the wall until its fall became a total obsession. Serrasta took the rampart at the last, slaughtering all but one of the battle-brothers who had stymied her advance. But by then the Xaltoic Heresy was all but crushed, the regiments of Imperial Guard who had declared for the Idolatrix obliterated by the 4th Company’s pinpoint strikes and her hordes of cultists exhausted by the warriors of the 6th.[1]
