At the height of the [[Great Crusade]], the ''[[Fist of Iron (battleship)|Fist of Iron]]'', the mighty flagship of the [[Iron Hands]] [[Space Marine Legion]], pursues an [[ork ]] cruiser into the pull of a dangerous [[warp rift]]. A rare phenomenon, little is known about the rift, but [[Ferrus Manus]], who commands the powerful warship, is about to learn more than he wishes as something emerges from the rift. Something impossible. An Iron Hands warship that seems to be from the future...{{Fn|2}}

Escorted by the [[Venom Class Destroyer]] [[Strontium Wave]], the ''[[Fist of Iron (battleship)|Fist of Iron]]'' engaged a trio of [[Ork]] [[Kill Kroozer]]s near a [[Warp]] anomaly about a dozen lightyears from the [[Krooked Klaw Empire]]. A fourth ship unexpectedly appeared on sensors, though [[Sergeant]] [[Gabriel Santar]] determined it to be an [[Iron Hands ]] [[Strike Cruiser]]. In response, [[Primarch]] [[Ferrus Manus ]] led a boarding party composed of himself, Sergeants Santar and [[Harik Morn]], [[Mechanicum]] representative [[Xanthus]], and some Scouts.

Scouts [[Arkal Metrician]], [[Sharik Borrgan]], [[Ruugal]], [[Jerek]], [[Lagethar]], [[Zaegerr]], and Scout Sergeants [[Salem Hektur]] and [[Boros]] explored the bowels of the ship and encountered [[daemons|hostile ethereal xenoforms]] that cannot be harmed by normal weapons. They suffered heavy casualties in attempting to retaliate. Meanwhile as Ferrus and the others approached the bridge, Morn and Xanthus found no living crew but discovered evidence that the ship came from the future, namely the exaggerated occultism in the [[servitor]]s and control interfaces and slight deviations in access protocols. Upon the command platform of the bridge they discovered an Iron Hands corpse, full of [[bionics]] that Ferrus deemed reminiscent of orkish crudeness. Ferrus resolved not to let this happen to his children while he lived, but then his party came under attack from the ethereal [[xenos]].
