Desperate to gain ammuniton and supplies, Deathwatch command decided to raid a Rift Wardens supply point. A companies worth of Deathwatch kill teams soon captured it but were swiftly pushed out by Rift Warden reinforcements. Air support was limited due to the anti-air capabilities of the allied House Avalon Knights. Instead, the Deathwatch were forced to rely on predator tanks for battlefield support.
The Deathwatch attacked the firebase directly over open fields. Once within range, the Rift Wardens opened fire, inflicting heavy casualties across their number. Eventually a lone Blackstar did breach the anti-air fire to deliver reinforcements. They assaulted firebase 12 in a frontal attack, which caused heavy losses.
By the evening the Deathwatch pushed into the firebase compound where heavy hand to hand combat started, which resulted in the capture of the site. As the Rift Wardens fell back, they were subjected to heavy fire. The Deathwatch captured the vital supplies, giving them a great boost in the coming conflict.
