Pyrrhic loyalist victory Russ wounds Horus with the Spear aboard the “Vengeful Spirit”, then breaks away.

In the Trisolian system the Space Wolves struck at Horus’s escort fleet of ~50 battleships, and Leman Russ wounded the Warmaster with the Spear of Russ aboard the “Vengeful Spirit” before the Wolves were thrown back. Left devastated by the wound, Horus detached Abaddon to pursue the fleeing Wolves.
