The Siege of Fenris
However after hours of negotiation on the ground with [[Bjorn]], who had been awakened to deal with the crisis, it became clear that the Wolves would never submit to the Inquisition's demands. At which point the entire Space Wolves chapter fleet under Grimnar entered orbit above Fenris, furious at Kysnaros' actions. Kysnaros continued to try and contain the situation, but he had pushed the Wolves too far and a battle in space began between the two fleets. Ships rammed one another, boarding actions by [[Caestus Assault Ram|Assault Boat]]s were committed by both sides, and the orbital defenses of The Fang opened fire on the Inquisitorial fleet as the fortress itself came under fierce bombardment. The battle was costly for both sides, and much of the Wolves fleet was destroyed or crippled. Three Imperial Navy warships were destroyed in orbit, crashing into the Fang and causing it greater damage then it even sustained in the [[Battle of the Fang|Thousand Sons invasion]] millennia earlier. When the ''Corel's Hope'' lost its [[Void Shield]]s, Grimnar and twenty Terminators teleported aboard the bridge of the flagship and massacred all they came across, with Grimnar slaying Kysnaros himself. As the battle played out into mutual destruction, Bjorn teleported aboard the ''Corel's Hope'' and convinced Grimnar to stand down, telling him the battle had gone on long enough. With the death of Kysnaros combined with the heavy damages they had sustained, both sides agreed to stand down and the Inquisitorial fleet withdrew from Fenris while the Wolves halted their campaign against the Inquisition.{{Fn|1d}}
In the aftermath of the dispute between the Inquisition and Space Wolves, Grimnar has never forgiven or forgotten the debacle while the Space Wolves are viewed with great animosity by much of [[Segmentum Solar]]'s administratum.{{Fn|1d}}
