{{Spoiler|source=Titan's Bane (Audio Drama)}}'''Xalxat*'''{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|Note 1}} was an [[Imperial]] [[Agri World]] that was capable of feeding billions of the Imperium's citizens. This ended, however{{Fn|2}}, when months{{Fn|1}} after [[Cadia]]'s destruction, Xalxat was invaded by [[Nurgle]] [[Cultists]] and a [[Plaguelord-Class Titan]]. A plea for aid was sent out and an alliance of [[Cadian]] , [[Mordia|Mordian]] n and [[Paragon|Paragonian]] [[Armoured Regiment]]s arrived to save the world. When the Regiments arrived in Xalxat's orbit, they did a quick recon of the Cultists' forces before attacking. By then, however, the Cultists had already unleashed diseases that destroyed the Agri World's crops and created toxic miasma smog that began spreading across Xalxat. This proved to be a disadvantage to the Regiments regiments attacking the Plague Titan, as there was nothing for them to use as cover. As a result, they suffered heavy casualties before the Plague Titan was finally destroyed. However , in their rush to engage their foes, the Regiments regiments were unaware that there were in fact two Plague Titans invading Xalxat. As they celebrated their victory and made repairs, the second Plague Titan appeared and attacked the unprepared Regimentsregiments. It struck without mercy and destroyed many of the Regimentsregiments' tanks and the survivors were forced to flee. The second Plague Titan had turned the tide of the battle and soon the Cultists began to sweep aside the Imperials. Despite the Regimentsregiments' efforts, the battle for Xalxat was declared to be lost and an order to perform an [[Exterminatus]] on the doomed world was given. 90 minutes remained before its destruction and the Regimentsregiments' survivors began evacuating from the last remaining citadel in their control. The second Plague Titan, however, began advancing towards the citadel and, with the Mordian tanks having all been destroyed, the Cadian Cadians and Paragonian Paragonians engaged the Titan.{{Fn|2}}

Meanwhile, [[Lieutenant (Imperial Guard)|Lieutenant]] [[Ferdal Quiller]], of the [[Cadian|Cadian 75th Armoured]], had been racing towards the evacuation point, when she heard of the attack. She knew her [[Shadowsword]] , ''[[TitanTitans's Bane (Tank)|Titan's Bane]]'', was the only tank left that was capable of damaging the Plague Titan and urged her crew to move faster. However, Titan's 'Titans' Bane '' had been heavily damaged in battle with the Plague Titans and there was a chance it could explode if the Shadowsword fired [[Volcano cannon|its cannon]]. Worse still, a patch of the deadly miasma smog surrounded Titan's 'Titans' Bane '' and the rents in its armor allowed the smog to invade the Shadowsword. The miasma began eating away at them and Titan's 'Titans' Bane's '' [[Tech Priest]] warned that the smog spread all the way to the citadel. He regretfully informed the crew, that they would be dissolved before they cleared the miasma. After hearing this, Quiller decided to strike a final vengeful blow against their foes and told her crew that though they would die, they had a chance to save the remaining Regiments regiments within the citadel. If they could get close enough and misfire while firing at the Plague Titan, the damaged Titan's 'Titans' Bane '' would explode and destroy the Titan as well. Quiller's crew agreed to her plan and they were able to reach the advancing Plague Titan, which had defeated the tanks sent against it. Before it reached the citadel, Titan's 'Titans' Bane '' was able to get close to it and fired at the Plague Titan, fire at point-blank range. As Quiller had hoped they would, the Shadowsword's armaments misfired and caused Titan's 'Titans' Bane '' to explode. With the Plague Titan dealt with, the surviving Imperials are now racing to evacuate from Xalxat, before the world is destroyed by [[Exterminatus]].{{Fn|2}}
