→War for Hive Secundus
====War for Hive Secundus====
Local defence forces , commanded by Lord [[Jurgen Greim]] , unsuccessfully attempted to drive back the Cult, setting fire to its lower levels and forcing many inhabitants to flee back into the city. This led to brutal, ongoing fighting as Necromundans defended their home from the xenos infestation.{{Fn|1d}}
As reinforcements arrived, including [[Imperial Guard Regiment|Astra Militarum regiments]], [[Adeptus Arbites]], and a [[Space Marine Company|company]] of [[Imperial Fists]], the true assault on Hive Secundus began. The hive was fortified and key infrastructure and tunnels were destroyed. The Imperial Fists, under [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Vorgn]], began constructing a vast defensive perimeter, which eventually became known as the [[Dust Wall]].{{Fn|1d}}
