The Imperium, believing the threat to be a relatively minimal, sent a small spearhead force to gain a toehold at the capital of [[Solthane]] and await the main body of the reclamation force to occupy and reclaim the planet. The spearhead force, consisting of just a handful of regiments, the half-company of Raven Guard, and their collective support fleet, was several months ahead of the main body. They were also given the order, on behalf of the [[Ecclesiarchy]], to avoid using ordnance and heavy weapons to prevent further desecration Solthane.t Without their heavy weapons and a relatively scant force, they were woefully unprepared when they encountered the [[Death Guard]] [[Traitor Legion]], led by [[Typhus|Typhus the Taveller]]. The Death Guard were trying to find the source of the outbreak, believed to be contained on a Heresy-Era Death Guard [[battle barge]], if not the ship itself.
The Reclamation forces were able to locate the ancient battle-barge underneath the central cathedral, just before the traitors, and killing theits its sole resident, the [[Daemonic Daemon Prince]] [[Arlus]]. Sensing his cause for the incursion fading away, [[Typhus]] gave up on the world, and returned to the [[Ezekyle Abaddon|Warmaster]]'s side.
The only survivors of the action were a mere 50 Guardsmen from the [[Cadian 88th Mechanised Infantry]] regiment, who managed to hold out until the main Reclamation fleet arrived five weeks later.
