The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' was a battle that occurred during the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1}}
===Overview===
Waged four years after the [[Second Battle of Prospero]] that had seen the [[White Scars]] introduction in the [[Horus Heresy]], the Scars had waged a vicious attrition campaign of hit-and-run attacks on traitor supply lines deep in the void. However while initially devastating, these raids grew less effective as traitor forces adjusted to the Scars tactics. After a particularly devastating ambush by [[Iron Warriors]] at [[Iluvuin]], [[Jaghatai Khan]] became determined to return to [[Terra]] and bolster the [[Emperor]]'s defenses. However thanks to galaxy-wide [[Warp Storm]]s and blockades of major Warp routes by traitor forces, the Scars were effectively trapped and slowly being boxed in behind enemy lines.{{Fn|1}}
However while the traitors seemingly were victorious, in truth the push at Kalium had been yet another feint by the Khan, who instead struck towards [[Herevail]] for information on the notorious [[Navigator]] [[Pieter Helian Achelieux]].{{Cite this}}
