The '''Blood of Khaine''' was one of the mightiest vessels of [[Iyanden]]'s fleet. However in 585.[[M40]] {{Fn|1}} it was boarded and captured by the [[Imperial FistFists]]s 2nd , among them [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergeant]] [[Darnath Lysander]]. The successful capture of the Blood of Khaine, led to Lysander taking command of the Second [[Company]]{{Fn|2}}. The Space Marines moved their prize to the shipyards of [[Hypnoth]], where its battered remains were to be studied by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. However before the Imperials could carry out their plan, Eldar Admiral [[Draech]] launched a reprisal attack against Hypnoth. During the raid, the Eldar deliberately destroyed the ''Blood of Khaine'', then sent [[Ghost Warrior]] boarding parties to destroy two Imperial Fists [[Strike Cruiser]]s in orbit: the ''Vengeful Praetor'' and ''Stalwart Hammer''. After being overwhelmed by [[Wraithblade]]s, the Imperials scuttled both vessels. Their vengeance exacted, the Eldar slipped away from Hypnoth's ravaged defenses.{{Fn|1}}
