The '''Axandrian Incident''' occurred during the [[Horus Heresy]] in 012.[[M31]], when the [[Thousand Sons]] launched an invasion on the [[Imperial]] world [[Axandria IV]].{{Fn|1}}
 
==History==
It was once part of the [[Thousand Sons]]' [[Prosperan Realm]], before the [[Imperium]] declared the [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] to be [[Traitor]]s. In the aftermath of the [[Burning of Prospero]], some of the Thousand Sons' forbidden knowledge was rescued and stored on [[Datadata-core]]s, that were taken to [[Axandria IV]]. They were then secured in the world's single great pyramid structure. Axandria IV was also heavily fortified and garrisoned by the [[Imperial Fists]] and elements of the [[Legio Custodes]]. Despite this, when the Thousand Sons struck, their psychic auguries allowed them to bypass the world's outer defenses defences and [[teleport]] directly into its pyramid. A savage fight then erupted, as the elite [[Scarab Occult Terminator]]s led the attack against the Imperial Fists and Custodians. As they clashed amid the pyramid's dark corridors and library vaults, the Thousand Sons' [[Sorcerer]]s also let loose their [[psychic]] powers. They unleashed such an onslaught, that the [[Loyalist]]s were forced to retreat to Axandria IV's surface. Before a counter-attack could be launched, however, the Thousand Sons teleported back to their fleet and escaped. The Traitors had achieved their goal, though, of retrieving the pyramid's Datadata-cores, that contained their forbidden knowledge.{{Fn|1}}  ==See also==*[[Battles of the Horus Heresy (List)]]
