Loyalist victory The loyalists drive the Emperor’s Children out of the Beta-Garmon system.

On Dorn’s instruction a Salamanders battle group, 30 regiments of the Imperialis Auxilia and Legio Astorum (the “Warp Runners”) struck by surprise at a Millennial of the Emperor’s Children garrisoning the Beta-Garmon system. The Emperor’s Children and their allies from Legio Mortis were driven out, and the system passed to the loyalists.

Canon note

  • Nyrcon is the spelling of FW Black Book VI: Retribution, Lexicanum (Battle of Nyrcon) and Adeptus Titanicus (“Nyrcon City”); the WH40k Fandom chronicle writes “Nycron”. It is one fortress-city of Beta-Garmon II; the later “Second Battle of Nyrcon” is a separate event, 012–013.M31.
