History
During the Psychic Awakening, the world was invaded by a massive Ork horde, while most of the Jaguars were fighting elsewhere. The call for them to return was sent out, but until then Captain Meznan led the Chapter's forces in their Homeworld's defence. It was predicted that, unless the absent Battle Brothers returned, however, Ceibhal would fall to the Orks.[1]
Not much later Axes of Morkai arrived in Ceibhal's orbit. It appeared that Ceibhal had fallen to Goff Orks and all defenders were destroyed, so the Space Wolves, filled with rage at the greenskins, started the descent to the planet so that they could at least save the precious gene-seed of the Obsidian Jaguars. After a vicious battle on the planet and in The Sabre - the Fortress-Monastery of the Obsidian Jaguars - the Wolves killed a lot of Orks but also suffered significant losses. With great regret, the Space Wolves found that the Jaguars' gene-stocks were desecrated and ruined so Morkai ordered the destruction of the glorious fortress-monastery, which the Wolves did and then departed from the exhausted planet. Undoubtedly millions of Orks died in this battle, but the Space Wolves did not feel it like a victory.[2]
