Battle of Xalladin
The Battle of Xalladin was a battle waged by the Iron Hands sometime after the formation of the Great Rift.[1]
When word reached the Iron Council that the Brimstone Heart had been located in the Xalladin System, Clan Raukaan under Master of the Forge Feirros was dispatched to retrieve it at all costs. Complications arose when it was revealed that the relic had become a planetary shield generator on Xalladin II, where the stranded Imperial Fists 3rd Company under Tor Garadon was fighting to save the population from the Orks of Waagh! Boneskar.[1]
Determined to save the last of the planets population, the Fists refused to allow the Heart to be removed. As the Orks readied for mass assault, the Iron Hands and Imperial Fists nearly came to blows. The argument only ended when the overtaxed relic detonated due to the covert actions of Raven Guard Chapter Master Kayvaan Shrike[2], and with the source of conflict removed the two parties united with the Raven Guard relief force to defeat the Orks. However, relations between the Imperial Fists and Iron Hands remain strained[1] and both Feirros and Garadon have lingering suspicions towards Shrike with regards to the fate of the Brimstone Heart.[2]
