===History===
The incident began when the commander of the [[White Scars]] aboard the [[Spiracle Station]], [[Stormseer]] [[Nikudaar]], attempted to lead an escape the [[Spiracle Station]] when it was engulfed by the nearby [[Maelstrom]] [[Warp Storm]]. After several attempts to escape the [[Kolarne-Distal System]] ended in failure, the Station's White Scars and [[Thousand Sons]], commanded by the [[Numerologist]] [[Okhafor]], focused their time on redeveloping the out of favor [[Saturnine Terminator Armour]]. It was a task given to them, before their current predicament, by the [[Salamanders]] [[Primarch]] [[Vulkan]], who sought to restore the armor's usage within the [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]]s. They succeeded in making the armor easier to repair, by the time the [[Ruinstorm]]'s creation caused the Maelstrom to receded from the Kolarne-Distal System.{{Fn|1}}
However, they were unaware that the [[Horus Heresy]] was now raging throughout the [[galaxy]]. The commanders would soon learn of it though, when the [[White Scars]] [[Strike Cruiser]] ''[[Endless Path]]'' arrived at the Spiracle Station. It was crewed by the [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]]'s [[Brotherhood of the Dawn Sky]] and its angry and shamed [[Space Marine Captain|Kahn]] informed them with cruel satisfaction about [[Warmaster]] [[Horus]]'s betrayal. He then told them of the [[Burning of Prospero]] and that the [[Thousand Sons]] and their [[Primarch]] [[Magnus]], had been declared [[traitor]]s to the [[Imperium]]. It was because of this, that the Khan demanded that Nikudaar aid in executing [[Okhafor]] and his forces, for being enemies of the [[Emperor]]. When the horrified [[Stormseer]] did not do so, the Khan attacked the [[Numerologist]]. Okhafor's used his [[psychic power]]s to defend himself and Nikudaar then killed the Khan with lightning, before another blow was struck.{{Fn|1}}
