The First Battle of Dendelgeist Docks was an attack by the Dark Angels against a smaller force of Rift Wardens located in the depths of the hive's docking circles. This was located on the edge of territory claimed by the Rift Wardens early in the war before the betrayal. The Dark Angels had advanced close to this location and the capture of the docks was the culmination of their attacks. The attacks were intended to advance the right flank and eliminate any forward enemy forces.
Prior to the main assault, captain Ezekiel conducted numerous attacks to capture territory in the central Rift Warden defences and to gain observation positions to determine the location of Rift Warden patrols. The Rift Warden defences were based in the ruined structures surrounding the docking circles.
Numerous attempts were made by Ezekiel to co-ordinate joint attacks, which failed due to the recovery of the Rift Wardens from their early defeats. War weary and low on supplies, the effectiveness of the Dark Angels was soon diminished. The Rift Wardens were, unknown to their enemy, also suffering from similar difficulties. At this time, the two chapters were forced into a similar piecemeal defence.
