Straddling both gangs' territory is [[Hennigan's Sprawl]] and is therefore a frequent object of dispute between the rivals.{{Fn|1}} The latest recorded battle ended with the Queens in control of the Sprawl.{{Fn|1b}}
The Carrion Queens were in the [[Hive Bottom]] [[Sump Sea]] settlement of [[Sump City]], when the [[Great Rift]]'s creation caused a great upheaval to sweep across the [[Hive World]]. The Carrion Queens knew nothing of this, but soon felt its impact when a horde of creatures, [[Mutant]]s and [[Chaos Cultists]] began attacking the settlement. [[Jelena]] quickly took command of Sump City's defensedefence, but though they inflicted heavy causalities against the invaders, the settlement began to be overrun. Seeing that there was nothing more to be done to save Sump City, Jelena gave the order to escape aboard the ships docked at the settlement. As they did so, Jelena ordered explosives they planted within Sump City to be detonated, which caused the settlement to sink beneath the Sump Sea. The survivors became lost afterwards, however, during their flight and began seeking a way to reach the upper levels of [[Hive Primus]]. It was thanks to the veteran [[Sump Spider]] hunter [[Ismur Blackwater]], that they discovered they were now deep within the Sump Sea and the closest location for such an entrance was in the series of islands known as the [[Aquila Archipelago]]. Jelena then had Blackwater steer her fleet's flagship, the [[Sump Queen]], to the Archipelago, though the survivors were unaware that one of its islands was held by a [[Helot Cult]], that worshiped the [[Chaos Spawn]] known as the [[God of Many Mouths]]. As the fleet neared the island, the Cult's ships were able to advance upon them, until Jelena spotted them just as the Helots were about to attack. Thanks to Jelena's efforts, though, the God of Many Mouths was slain and its Helot Cult was destroyed.{{Fn|2b}}
