Its [[Knight World|Homeworld]] lies close to the [[Forge World]] [[Kernak III]] and Xiphos' [[Knights]] aided in repelling an invasion by the [[Ork]] [[Warboss]] [[Nabrot Stubfingers]] in the past. However Stubfingers' hordes invaded again, after the [[Pankallis Sub-sector]] was attacked by Orks and [[Tyranids]] in [[M42]]. This time, despite House Xiphos sending its Knights to defend Kernak III once again, the [[Forge World]] fell to Stubfingers' hordes. Even as it did so, the Warboss ensured House Xiphos could not send further aid, by also invading their Homeworld, [[Kernak IV]]. While they killed many of Stubfingers' invading Orks, his hordes sheer numbers overwhelmed the House Xiphos and their Homeworld was conquered.{{Fn|11a}}  ==Known Battles==*[[Octarius War]]{{Fn|1a}}**[[Pankallis Sub-sector]] - 673 [[Knight]]s and 44 cohorts of Household '''Companion Guard'''{{Fn|1b}} ==Known Knights==*[[Desdemonah Thegrik]] - [[High Queen]], during the invasion and piloted the [[Knight]] suit '''Foe Piercer'''{{Fn|1b}}
