However as Lazulai was being consumed by the [[Tyranids]], cracks began showing between the '''Cobalt Fortress'''' [[Regiment]]s.{{Fn|1}}
This became an issue after Bligh took it upon himself to be responsible for delivering the '''Emperor's Judgement''' on wayward [[Guardsmen]], following the death of [[Commissar]] [[Schuto]]. Because of this, he later brought charges of infringement of discipline, breach of the disciplinary code and insubordination against the [[Catachan CMIII]] [[Guardsman]] [[Falke Adair]], for her actions during an attack on the '''Cobalt Fortress'''. Though her efforts prevented the [[Tyranids]] from breaching Cobalt's walls, Adair had disobeyed an order to stay at her post and cover a [[Cadian 2012th]] squadron. The squad was then attacked by the [[Xenos]] during the battle, which led to the deaths of [[Imperial Guard Sergeant|Sergeant]] [[Clay]] and the Guardsmen [[Dakor]], [[Vance]] and [[Colm]]. Bligh held Adair directly responsible for the loss of his men and was going to execute her, after finding the Catachan guilty of the charges he had brought against her. However, Adair's commanding officer, [[Major]] [[Wulf Khan]], was made aware of this by her orderly, [[Imperial Guard Sergeant|Sergeant]] [[Rutger Haruto]]. This allowed Khan to stop Bligh, just as he was going to kill Adair. After learning why her Guardsman was about to be executed, the Major fully agreed with Adair's actions during the battle. Khan even went so far as saying she would have ordered Adair to do the same thing. Bligh refused to relent, though, as he believed executing Adair would ensure the Cobalt Fortress' Guardsmen would maintain their discipline. The matter was finally ended when the Major knocked the Captain out and ordered him to be taken to infirmary. While she had considered killing Bligh for his actions, she ultimately relented in doing so. However this was only due to the Captain's efforts against the Tyranids and that he was considered a hero to the [[Cadian 2012th]]. She and Adair also suspected that Bligh's behavior indicated he was suffering from [[Xenos-bait]].{{Fn|1}}
Afterwards, [[Major]] [[Wulf Khan|Khan]] was ordered to meet with [[General]] [[Kvelter]], who informed her that an overwhelming force of [[Tyranids]] was heading towards the '''Cobalt Fortress'''. Due to this, [[Lord Commander]] [[Stone (Lord Commander)|Stone]] of [[Sector Command]], had ordered General Kvelter to send out a small force to retrieve a vital asset that was located far away from the Fortress. In order to ensure the best chance for the Major's success, though, the General would draw the Tyranids' attention by advancing towards '''Jasper Fortress'''. Kvelter would lead all of her surviving personnel in the attack, which included [[Imperial Guard Captain|Captain]] Bligh.{{Fn|1}}
