When the [[Pankallis Sub-sector]] was attacked, every invaded [[system]] dispatched pleas to aid. The Imperial worlds found themselves assailed by [[Genestealer Cult]] uprisings at [[Darkmont]], [[Ahelmil]], and [[Saint's Blessing]]. Meanwhile, the [[Orks]] of [[Stugbrog da Facegrinda]] attacked the worlds of the [[Semythis System]], overwhelming the [[Feral World]] of [[Tylam]] and the [[Death World]] of [[Nazkah]]. The [[Fortress World]] of [[Kaist]] held out the longest, but the system was effectively conquered. The Orks next moved to the [[Kernak System]], with the [[Deathskulls]] Warlord [[Nabrot Stubfingers]] fighting the [[Mechanicum]] of [[Kernak III]] and the [[Goff]] [[Kagrit the Redtoof]] conquering [[Kusolst]]. At the same time, Tyranids of Hive Fleet Leviathan descended upon the Systems of [[Anelanni System|Anelanni]], [[Bianzeer's Hollow System|Bianzeer's Hollow]], and [[Gydisk System|Gydisk]]. The Xenos consumed their way through the ironbeech forests of [[Gydisk Tertius]], the saurpod sauropod world of [[Gydisk Alpha]], the [[Megafungi]] caves of [[Gydisk Quartas]], and the steam-powered kingdom-flotillas of [[Gydisk Betaris]]. Though elements of Imperial resistance remained, these worlds were effectively lost. Even the forces of [[Chaos]] appeared on a number of worlds, with remote tribes revealing themselves as followers of the Dark Gods. On [[Kherusk]], full-scale [[Daemonic]] invasion erupted.{{Fn|10a}}
Amidst the carnage, Imperial forces rushed to aid. The [[Deathwatch]] from the [[Eye of Octos]] [[Watch Fortress]], the [[Wolfspear]], [[Atlantian Spears]], [[Obsidian Jaguars]], and [[Dark Krakens]] all responded. Dark Krakens [[Chapter Master]] [[Mezonyki Reio]] dispatched warriors to three planets in the [[Bianzeer's Hollow System]], tasking 5th Company Captain [[Krijeni Luceior]] to combat the Tyranids on the world of [[Death of Bianzeer]]. Alongside Wolfspear [[Battle Leader]] [[Rakmeyr Bluewolf]], [[Watch Master]] [[Akrep Xie]], and [[Lord General Militant]] [[Arneld Heifaast]], the Imperials coordinated their next plan of attack.{{Fn|8}} The Space Marines were aided by the [[Mechanicum]] of [[Ryza]] and [[Estaban III]], each dispatching thousands of macroclades and bringing [[Knight]] and [[Titan]] allies.
