Although Cadia was ultimately reduced to a burning wasteland by Abaddon's assault, the worlds in the wider [[Cadian System]] fought hard to destroy the spearhead the Despoiler had plunged into their midst. The Great Exodus of Cadia had seen swathes of the Imperial defence redeployed to the sister worlds.{{Fn|11}}
Sometime after the [[Great Rift]]'s creation, the [[Adeptus Custodes]] [[Captain General]] [[Trajann Valoris]] ordered a small, fast-moving force of Custodians to travel to Cadia's remains. Details of their mission are suppressed, even amongst their comrades, but they are accompanied by a number of warriors drawn from the ranks of the [[Shadowkeepers]].{{Fn|12}}
