Defence of Hyth

The Defence of Hyth took place in 994.M41.^[1]

Space Marines of the Eagle Warriors Chapter answer a distress call from the city of Hyth, shortly before all communications are smothered by a splinter hive fleet. Though unable to reach the city itself to prepare a robust defence, they deploy on the plain before it, in the path of the ravening swarm, to unleash the full firepower of their Stormravens, Centurion Squads and Dreadnoughts. The Eagle Warriors’ efforts hold back an incessant tide of Genestealers, and the Devastator Centurions eliminate the more severe threat of Haruspexes and Harpies before they are able to cause the devastation expected of them. After many weeks, victory is secured, preventing Hyth, and the planet, from succumbing to the Hive Fleet.^[1]
