The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' was a battle during the [[Horus Heresy]].
==Overview==
Following the dissolution of [[Imperium Secundus]], the combined fleets of the [[Ultramarines]], [[Dark Angels]], and [[Blood Angels]] led by their respective [[Primarch]]s [[Roboute Guilliman]], [[Lion El'Jonson]], and [[Sanguinius]] attempted to return to [[Terra]] and the [[Emperor]]. However the [[Ruinstorm]] made [[Warp]] travel highly difficult if not impossible, and the fleets struggled to make even short jumps. The traitor fleets, powered by [[Chaos]], had less difficulty and were able to ambush the Ultramarines fleet near the [[Anuari]] System.{{Fn|1}}
From the [[Battle Barge]] ''[[Samothrace]]'', Guilliman found his fleet attacked on three sides by a [[Word Bearers]], [[World Eaters]], and [[Night Lords]] force led by the Battle Barge ''[[De Profundis]]''. Guilliman pulled his fleet into a defensive formation and had his [[Destroyer Squad]]s board enemy ships, but the Word Bearers commander [[Toc Derenoth]] had foreseen this and intentionally detonated his own vessel. The shards of the ''De Profundis'' slammed into the ''Samothrace'', lowering its [[Void Shield]]s and allowing for massive traitor boarding parties via [[Boarding Torpedoes]]. During the struggle aboard the ''Samothrace'', Guilliman personally led the counterattack and managed to slay Toc Derenoth in combat and push the Word Bearers back. However Guilliman fell into another ambush, and now faced the two [[Dark Apostle]]s [[Phael Rabor]] and [[Quor Vondor]], each armed with an [[Athame]] blade. Guilliman defeated them, but the two traitors laughed that they had already won. With the deaths of the two Dark Apostles, the rest of the Ultramarines fleet managed to chase away or destroy the World Eaters and Night Lords elements.{{Fn|1}}
After the battle, several captured Chaos [[Navigator]]s allowed Guilliman to more easily navigate the Ruinstorm. Moreover he had become partly tempted by the power of the Athame blades and instead of destroying them locked them in his vaults in hopes of studying them and possibly using them against the traitors.{{Fn|1}}
