Viceroy Extractatorian Mendoza was resolutely against Horus and the Mechanicum rebellion. When [[Sota-Nul]] contacted Trisolarian, he declined and denounced any offers she made when attempting to sway those loyal to [[Terra]] over to the [[Dark Mechanicum]] allied with Warmaster Horus.{{Fn|1a}}

{{main|Battle of Trisolian}}

The battle began with [[Chaos Space Marine|Traitor Space Marine]] infiltrators attempting to destroy the agrifields of the world, thus starving the world and ending the battle before it began. Many of Domina Aspertia's underlings would be deployed to combat these [[Night Lord]] infiltrators, alongside [[Word Bearers]] and [[Dark Mechanicum]] [[tech-adept]]s. Being given [[power armour]] and a [[Volkite]] pistol, Cawl would be deployed amongst an [[Ordo Reductor]] Taghma in command of a number of [[thallaxii]]. Cawl would kill his first man, a Dark Mechanicum tech-adept, then repair a wounded [[Myrmidon Destructor]] after they saved him from a Night Lords battle tank. The extraction station of Trisolian A-3 would fall during this time and traitor reinforcements would be sent from there to Trisolarian A-4.{{Fn|1b}}
