Once it was discovered, the [[T'au Commander]] [[Shadowsun]] decided to use it as a mustering site for the next phase of the [[T'au]]'s Expansion. Once there, the advance elements of Shadowsun's forces discovered a weak signal emitting from deep within the wastelands in the primary continent. They followed this signal where they came across the shattered ruins of a [[human]] settlement and nearby a crashed human shuttle. Shadowsun's forces immediately contacted the Commander, who soon arrived at the crash site. How long since the ship had crashed Shadowsun could not tell, but the signal was very weak. Near the shuttle they found [[Space Marine]] [[Power Armour]] and Shadowsun gave the order to collect it for later study.{{Fn|1a}}
Her order would not be carried out, however, as [[Sammael]], [[Dark Angels Grand Master|Grand Master]] of the [[Ravenwing]], had also picked up the signal and gave the order for his forces to reclaim it no matter the cost. The crashed shuttle contained secrets the [[Inner Circle]] of his [[Chapter]] desired, so Sammael showed no mercy as he brought his forces against Shadowsun's.{{Fn|1a}} What followed was a fierce battle, that saw the Dark Angels defeat the Tau forces near the shuttle and claim its secrets for themselves.{{Fn|1b}}
