The first sign of the coming battle was shortly after a stand-off at the entrance to the Hadex harbour district, where the Black Templars reported seeing the Rift Warden squads moving on their position. The Tempars attacked with warning, calling battle oaths as they charged towards the Rift Wardens defensive position. Their fifth company followed closely behind, coming in from a diagonal approach and engaged the Rift Wardens in the flank. The Rift Wardens marines who survived that attack were either forced into derelict streets or back into their own lines. Reinforcements sent to bolster them were mowed down and by the following morning many had been killed.
To the immediate south, the chapter forces under Arthurus, had been fortifying a number of buildings and makeshift trenches. These were intended to provide a better firing position should the Black Templars risk assaulting them. It was during the construction that the Black Templars led by Helbrecht and Grimaldus attacked. Despite a lack of battle brothers, this assault and following waves were beaten back, although Helbrecht and Grimaldus did reach the Rift Wardens lines. Battle was joined in the trenchworks and the engagement lasted for several hours before the Rift Wardens were once more forced to retreat.
