Battle Summary
With both forces exhausted and undermanned from the previous phase of the invasion a short period of securing and harassment ensued, allowing the Loyalists to regroup and attempt to co-ordinate with their incoming reinforcements, however with the lose of the Planetary Defense HQ coupled with the traitors hold over the Space Port a direct landing would be out of the question. Instead a number of orbital assaults were planned as a gambit to rapidly expand the Loyalist held territories while trying to limit any further expansion of the Traitors. Three primary targets were identified; the retaking of the Medicae Facilities and Planetary Defense network together with an assault on the Promethium Refinery, with a final force held in orbital reserve for any sudden Traitor expansion.
The first offensive was conducted at the Promethium Refinery by the forces of the XIXth, landing amidst a whirlwind of Assault Marines and supporting Speeders. A counter drop was conducted by elements of the rogue Imperial Fists supported by mutated bio-engineered mechanicum forces who immediately began hunkering down into defensive position as the Raven Guard units commenced wave after wave of assaults against their positions. Even with sustained reinforcements, the Loyalists were unable to shift the VIIth as they continued to entrench themselves deeper and deeper into the territory and although casualties on the Traitors were high, the prospect of being able to completely cleanse the area this far away from anticipated support prompted the command decision to cease the assault and return the Raven Guard forces to a mobile deployment status.
The missions to retake the lost territories of the Medicae Facilities and Planetary Defense HQ however fared far better, with a newly arrived contingent of Ultramarines delivering a devastating assault against the XXths garrison forces at the Planetary Defense district completely overrunning the complex and re-securing some semblance of orbital security. Likewise a well planned counter assault from the Loyalist VIIth against an entrenched Traitor Iron Hands garrison at the Medicae Facilities re-secured the Loyalist command base in a matter of days allowing them to recommence coordinated operations.
While the Loyalists conducted their offensives, the Traitors had not remained idle though, their own forces entered the Agri Plots for a second time as the World Eaters launched a vicious assault against a large Luna Wolves convoy which was en route to support the Raven Guard offensive. Caught in the open the XVIth would have been torn to shreds by concentrated fire, however the XIIth fury overtook them and they surged forward to take their enemies with chainsword and fist. Neither force had the will or ability to hold the field and eventually the engagement ended in a stalemate as the World Eaters were finally curtailed and recalled by their command.
