'''Laurels of Victory''' was attacked by [[Daemons]] during the initial phase of the space battle in [[Vigilus System]]. Portal was opened on the bridge of this ship and Daemons of [[Slaanesh]] burst out to kill and maim the Imperial warriors. Though the [[Ultramarines]] relently tried to stop the infestation, the more and more Daemons uppeared until [[Keeper of Secrets]] arrived. The monster fought with [[Calgar]] himself and managed to tore out his throat. Seeing that situation has become too dangerous, [[Navigator]] of the '''Laurels of Victory''' used his [[Third Eye]] to close the portal. Though But the damage was already done - in confusing of the Daemons attack on by dozen similar strikes on Imperial ships , Ultramarines fleet cann't stand against the ramming advance of the [[Abaddon]]'s Chaos fleet.{{Fn|1b}}
Due to catastrophic situation and grievous wound of Commander Calgar, [[Arch-Commodore]] [[Hentzmann]] ordered a fighting retreat back to [[Vigilus]]. '''Laurels of Victory''' and other Imperial ships lifted the blockade and returned to Vigilus orbit to defend the planet.{{Fn|1b}}
