Ilya helped guide the Scars to the [[Dark Glass]] artefact due to her knowledge of the mysterious [[Navigator]] [[Pieter Achelieux]], and during the [[Battle of Catallus]] urged that the Khan return to [[Terra]] instead of seeking to settle the score with [[Mortarion]]. Upon the sacrifice of [[Targutai Yesugei]] to activate the Dark Glass and open a portal into the [[Webway]], Ilya was among the three he psychically sent his goodbyes to.{{Fn|2}}
