Upsilon is an Imperium world that serves as one of the outermost bastions of Terra's defences. This was put to the test when it was invaded by the Blood Crusade's sixth wave, in the aftermath of the Great Rift's creation.[1]
Though the Blood Crusade was ultimately defeated, it was not due to the Imperium's forces, but instead the intervention of five of Craftworld Saim-Hann's Wild Rider clans. By using their jetbikes to launch rapid strikes and then retreating before they could be attacked, the Eldar frustrated Khorne's forces to the point that the Daemons left Upsilon to find easier prey.[1]
