During the battle, Battlefleet Ultima Primus found itself weakened and outnumbered, when Tau reinforcements arrived and were soon forced to open diplomatic talks with the [[Xenos]]. The talks were conducted aboard the Battlefleet's flagship the [[Enduring Blade]], but didn't get far, before Severus decided to strike. With the power he long craved nearly in his hands, Severus completed a Chaos ritual which weakened the warhost's prison enough to allow all of them to break free, save for Tarkh'ax itself. What happened next was a disaster for the Imperium and Tau forces, as the warhost wrecked havoc on the doomed Enduring Blade and Severus entered a portal{{Fn|1e}} that delivered him to the Chaos temple, the warhost had created on Dolumar IV's surface millenia ago. There he began the final steps necessary to free Tarkh'ax{{Fn|1c}}, while the warhost invaded Dolumar IV and began attacking its population. The Battlefleet and Tau would recover quickly and after destroying the compromised Enduring Blade, deployed their forces to Dolumar IV to stop the Chaos plot{{Fn|1f}}. After a hard fought battle, they succeeded and Severus was killed and the Lord of Change Tarkh'ax, was banished back to the [[Warp]]. Afterwards the Battlefleet and the Tau would part peacefully, as the Battlefleet began to launch an [[Exterminatus]] on Dolumar IV, which had become too corrupted to save.{{Fn|1g}}
