The garrison of Hive Imperialis, under Captain Gwaine and Lieutenant Agrippa, consisting of 500 space marines plus numerous Astra Militarum. In order to prepare for the Tau attack, a number of outer districts were burned and large areas of trenchworks were constructed.
When the Tau Empire attacked they pillaged much after breaching the city walls. On the same day, they tried to enter the city proper but the Rift Wardens forced them to retreat. On the next day, the Tau commander ordered an artillery barrage which inflicted significant casualties on the space marines. The Tau commander himself led the assault, where his forces once again defeated the space marines. He then demanded surrender of the Imperial defenders. The Astra Militarumd defenders felt abandoned by the space marines and without hope of support. Nonetheless, they continued to fight.
As the assault progressed, morale among the defenders began to sink lower and lower. Unwilling to loss their military forces, the Imperial fell back from Hive Imperials, handing the city to the Tau.
