In [[M34]], after craftworld Ul-Khari learned how to preserve themselves after death with [[spirit stone]]s and the [[infinity circuit]] from their [[Iyanden|kin]], they returned to the Gilead System. They found it firmly under the control of [[Chaos]] and [[Slaanesh]]. They sent scouts through the webway to investigate the enemy more closely, and did the same to learn of the plans of the Imperium. Learning of the [[Julyanna Gilead]] was mustering a crusade to retake the system, Ul-Khari had hoped to defeat two foes at once. Believing the [[Gilead Crusade]] would quickly move on to other threats after conquering the system, Ul-Khari covertly aided the humans in a variety of pivotal engagements. The Gilead Crusade's logistics were aided through subtle influence of the [[Navigator]]s and [[Astropath]]s, guiding and directing them as needed, subtly influencing their coordination and timing to its greatest effect. The military forces on the ground would often find their enemies withered by unseen ranged fire, or otherwise flanked, distracted or disrupted through various means. The ignorant Imperials attributed much of this to luck and intervention from their [[God-Emperor]], claiming their crusade was blessed.{{Fn|2a}}

The Asuryani was apparent as they did not foresee the Imperials fortifying themselves in the system and using it as a staging point for many further crusades. The Ul-Khari who decried the aid given to the Imperials as foolish were proven correct, they simply traded one uninvited guest for another. The Imperial presence in the Gilead System would remain stronger than ever going into the future.{{Fn|2a}}
