*{{Main|Battle of the Ophelia System}}
*{{Main|Ophelian Crusade}}
After the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]], Ophelia was enslaved by the [[Greater Daemon]] [[Tyrant of Blueflame]], but was freed during [[Guilliman]]'s [[Indomitus Crusade]] and the [[Black Templars]]. However the Tyrant himself escaped justice.{{Fn|6}} In the aftermath of the attack Guilliman stationed Black Templars under [[Marshal (Black Templars)|Marshal]] [[Armond Montfort]] on the world. However , they were drawn away due to the [[Battle of San Leor|events on San Leor]], and the Tyrant of Blueflame returned on [[Ophelia IV]] to begin a Warp ritual to allow for another mass attack on Ophelia VII, this time with [[Alpha Legion]] and [[Cultist]] allies. However they were again defeated in the [[Battle of the Ophelia System]].{{Fn|7}} Ophelia VII's next threat came not from the Tyrant of Blueflame, [[Ophelian Crusade|but rather the Night Lords warlord [[Kol Rakhul]], but he was foiled by [[Abbess]] [[Morvenn Vahl]].{{Fn|8}}
Sometime later, a roving patrol of [[Adeptus Custodes]] discovered that the [[Aeldari]] had built a hidden war camp on Ophelia VII. It was decided that this threat could not be allowed to fester so close to [[Terra]] and [[Captain-General]] [[Trajann Valoris]] led a mighty Custodes warhost to defeat the [[Xenos]]. However the [[Phoenix Lord]] [[Fuegan]] was amongst the Aeldari's forces and he has summoned an [[Avatar of Khaine]] to repel the attacking Imperials.{{Fn|9}}
