At the [[Battle of Desperation]], Kirine responded to hails from [[Praetor (Rank)|Chapter Master]] [[Arceas Odinathus]] of the [[Ultramarines]] by disavowing allegiance to either the [[Emperor]] or the traitorous [[Horus|Warmaster]], apparently believing Corax dead.{{Fn|1}} In the following years, the Ashen Claws raided across the eastern fringes of the Galaxy, attacking both Loyalists as well as Traitors, including on [[Dellar IX]].{{Fn|5b}} In one notable campaign, the "[[Scouring of the Nostramo Sector]]", the Ashen Claws decimated large Night Lords contingents.{{Fn|1}}
