The '''Betalis Campaign''' was fought between the [[Imperium]] and various [[Eldar]] forces in 894.[[M41]]. It began when the Eldar landed on the [[Ice World]] of [[Betalis III]] in search for the [[Exarch Armour]] of the [[Phoenix Lord]] [[Irillyth]].{{Fn|1a}}

The battle began when [[Eldar]] forces from [[Craftworld]]s [[Mymeara]] and [[Alaitoc]]{{Fn|1a}}, along with the [[Harlequin]]s of the [[Masque of the Winter Sun]]{{Fn|2}} and the [[Void Dragons]], [[Sky Raiders]] and [[Sunblitz Brotherhood]]{{Fn|1a}} [[Eldar Corsair|Corsair]] warbands entered the [[Betalis System]] in search of [[Irillyth]]'s armour after its location had been verified by Mymeara's [[Farseer]]s. The Eldar hoped to reactivate the armour and bring the [[Phoenix Lord]] to life in order to fight for the safety of the Eldar race once more. Initially smashing through the [[Imperial Navy]] orbital defense platforms and patrol craft, the Eldar soon descended upon Betalis III's surface while heavy war engines and reinforcements entered the world through its hidden [[Webway Nexus]]. However the Eldar encountered stiff resistance from the [[Imperial Guard]], [[Space Wolves]], [[Legio Gryphonicus]]{{Fn|1a}} and [[House Trainor]]{{Fn|4}} forces that were moved to reinforce the planet once it came under [[xenos]] attack.{{Fn|1a}}

After vicious Imperial resistance that fought the Eldar to a bloody stalemate, the [[Xenos]] succeeded in identifying and retrieving [[Irillyth]]'s Armour and [[Spirit Stone]]. Thus the xenos then left as mysteriously and quickly as they had arrived, leaving the [[Imperial]] forces confounded. The Imperium for its part interpreted this series of events as a great victory, despite the [[Ordo Xenos]] remaining highly suspicious due to their past experiences with the enigmatic Eldar. However soon the grim news arrived that the more sinister [[Eldar Corsairs]] had kidnapped large segments of the [[Human]] population of Betalis III as they withdrew.{{Fn|1b}}{{Fn|1c}}
