Xendrya is an Imperial Cardinal World which, sometime after the Great Rift's creation, was invaded by the World Eaters and Daemons of Khorne. The Imperial Fists, however, came to Xendrya's aid.[1]
When the world's capital city, Vanheim, began to be overrun, an evacuation was ordered and a small group of Primaris Imperial Fists, were charged with delaying the invaders by holding the Cathedral of Martyred Souls. Consisting of a squadron of Intercessors led by a Primaris Chaplain, they had been ordered to hold out as long as possible before escaping, but if that was impossible they were to enact the Firestorm Protocol. The Cathedral was the last building standing in the city and it was soon swarmed by the World Eaters, once they discovered the Primaris were within it. Though they fought ferociously, and killed a number of the World Eaters, the Primaris were outnumbered and were killed. However, right before he died, the Intercessor Wylan Kord contacted the Imperial Fists' warship in Xendrya's orbit and initiated the Firestorm Protocol. Even as the World Eaters' weapons began to carve Kord's body apart, the Imperial Fists' warship fired an orbital barrage, that not only destroyed the Cathedral, but also the entire city block around it. In the aftermath of the barrage, nothing but rubble and the corpses of hundreds of World Eaters remained.[1]
