Multiple inconsistencies with the novel
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}}
Guilliman would find himself temporarily cut off from the rest of his fleet with only the Strike Cruiser [[Cavascor]] attending his flagship. From the [[Battle Barge]] ''[[Samothrace]]'', Guilliman found his fleet the two Ultramarine ships 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 . The Word Bearers commander [[Toc Derenoth]] had foreseen this and intentionally detonated ran his own vesselinto the firing arc of the Samothrace and Cavascor. The shards of the ''De Profundis'' slammed into the ''Samothrace''. Although several of the shards were destroyed due to point defense fire and the void shields of the Ultramarines vessel, lowering its [[Void Shield]]s and allowing for massive traitor boarding parties via [[Boarding Torpedoes]]some managed to break into the hull, disgorging hordes of Word Bearer Astartes. 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 After the deaths of the two Dark Apostles, the rest of the Ultramarines fleet managed reached the site of the battle, managing to surround and completely destroy the World Eaters and Night Lords elementsfleets as well as the remaining Word Bearer vessels.{{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}}
