Embarking on the Indomitus Crusade with five of Fleet Tertius' Battlegroups, she led assaults into the [[System]]s of the [[Machorta Sound]], absorbing stranded and beleaguered assets as she advanced. In the [[Battle of Machorta Sound]] she waged an extensive campaign across several light years against the forces of [[Chaos]]. During this first blooding of the Indomitus Crusade, she conducted intricate and simultaneous operations with a wide variety of forces at her disposal and scored an early decisive victory.{{Fn|2}}
