With the stealthy Eldar vessel ''Vaul's Ghost'' now at his disposal, Calgar intended to use the craft to strike a blow against the ''[[Vengeful Spirit]]''.{{Fn|6b}} To distract the Chaos forces to their true purpose, Saim-Hann Eldar were able to lead Orks at Hyperia into Chaos Space Marine strongpoints across the planet in a strategy known as the "Serpent's Lure". The Black Legion, Iron Warriors, and Traitor [[Titan]]s of the [[Legio Decapitorum]] fell victim to these tactics. Of these many battles, only Calgar, Keltoc, and a select few Ultramarines commanders knew that only the battle at New Vitae Docks mattered in the long-term. The Mortwald Aerial base was sending every bulk lander it had into low orbit despite vicious attacks by the Iron Warriors. Though most of the craft contained nothing of consequence, six contained [[Deathstrike Missile]]s including two [[Vortex Missile]]s.{{Fn|6c}}
In orbit, the outmached outmatched Imperial fleet had been patched back together by Calgar and met the greater Chaos armada to put up a screen as to their true objective. Though 80% of the Imperial vessels were lost, the ''Vaul's Ghost'' managed to rendezvous with the vessels carrying Deathstrike Missiles. The Eldar vessel then made towards the ''Vengeful Spirit''. The stealthy vessel was able to infiltrate the Chaos shiplines and crashed directly into the ''Vengeful Spirit''. All six Deathstrike Missiles in its hold were detonated, creating a massive explosion that blasted a gaping hole in the side of the [[Gloriana Class Battleship]].{{Fn|6c}}
