'''''Cadia's Hand''''' was assigned to a defensive assignment in the [[Cadian System]] and carried the [[Cadia 22nd]] regiment. The 22nd were to report to [[Ursarkar Creed|Lord Creed]] himself upon arrival. It was at an unknown point in the [[Segmentum Solar]], far away from the Cadian System, when it made its jump into the warp in 892.[[M41]].{{Fn|1a}}
The ship never reached its destination, instead it was fused into a [[space hulk]] later dubbed as ''[[Olethros]]'' by the [[Dark Angels Grand Master|Grand Master]] [[Belial]] of the [[Dark Angels]] [[space marine]] [[Chapter]]. The ship was then boarded by the [[Deathwing]] and was found infested by [[genestealer]] broods. No members of the 22nd were found, only the corpses of the ship's [[tech-priests priest]]s and servitors [[servitor]]s were ever discovered.{{Fn|1a}}
[[Genestealer cultists cultist]]s onboard attempted to use the ships ship's [[archeotech ]] engines to push the space hulk into the gravity well of a nearby planet to force the Dark Angels to lose their foothold, but members of the Deathwing managed to cripple the ship's engines, before beginning a purge of large nests of Tyranids within the ship. The Deathwing used an [[auspex]] to gather more information on the space hulk before departing ''Cadia's Hand'' to explore further into the ''Olethros''.{{Fn|1a}}
''Cadia's Hand'' was presumably destroyed entirely upon the space hulk's destruction by the Dark Angels.{{Fn|1b}}
