The Distaff were instrumental in the defeat of the renegade [[Inquisitor]] [[Quixos]] in the battle of [[Farness Beta]]. Quixos, having collected a large quantity of psykers during the [[Thracian Atrocity]], was deemed to be in a location of psychic strength, until the Distaff neutralised the psykers' ability to attack Eisenhorn's troops.{{Fn|1b}}
The organization was later headquartered on the [[Imperial]] world [[Messina]], but they were targeted{{Fn|2a}} by the [[Heretic]] [[Pontius Glaw]]{{Fn|2b}} circa 396.[[M41]]. [[Vessorine Janissaries]]{{Fn|2a}} [[Mercenary]] bands{{Fn|2c}} would then attack the Distaff{{Fn|2a}} as part of Glaw's plot to kill [[Inquisitor]] [[Eisenhorn]] and destroy his network of contacts.{{Fn|2b}} The organization was essentially wiped out in the attack, although off-shoot elements of the Distaff are rumored rumoured to have survived beyond this date.{{Fn|2a}}
