The {{PAGENAME}} was a battle between the [[Imperium]] and the [[Emperor's Children]] fought in 121.[[M31]]{{Fn|2}}, during the [[Great Scouring]]{{Fn|1}}.
Trying to pursue [[Fulgrim]] after his flight from [[Xolco]], [[Roboute Guilliman]]'s fleet was pinned by three [[Emperor's Children]] ships above [[Thessala]]. The ''[[Pride of the Emperor]]'' heeled over the ''[[Gauntlet of Power]]'', which responded with a barrage that created an opening in the enemy's void shields. One hundred Ultramarines, fifty from the First Company and fifty from the Second Company, teleported aboard the Pride of the Emperor, leaded by Guilliman, First Captain [[Andros]] and Second Captain [[Aeonid Thiel]].{{Fn|3a}}
Aboard the ship, Guilliman went through the Triumphal Way and reached the Heliopolis undisturbed, while [[Ludon]] and [[Lucretius Corvo|Corvo]] voxed him of Emperor's Children resistance on many other decks. The Primarch decided to enter the Heliopolis alone, ordering his Ultramarines to stand where they were. Fulgrim waited him inside and their confrontation would have given time to the Ultramarines and their Successors to cripple the Emperor's Children ships.{{Fn|3b}}
