Space Hulk Incursion

The Space Hulk Incursion was an event where the Nova Wolves were called upon to investigate and perform space hulk purgation operations when a colossal Space Hulk of unknown origins encroached upon the Nexus Sub-Sector.

History
Two years after the Battle of Eesk during the invasion of WAAAGH! Blud-Stompa, the Chapter was called upon once more to deal with a threat to the entire Sector, a colossal Space Hulk had appeared out of the Warp dangerously close to the Nexus Sub-Sector. In response to this new threat, the Chapter gathered its fleet and was about to bombard it and destroy it, that was until the Forge World on Nexus Minor pleaded with Castarius to instead scour the Hulk of any threats and allow the Tech-Priests to recover any Archeo-Tech on board. Reluctantly, the Chapter Master Agreed to this and proceeded to send a scouting unit of 2 Terminator Squads and a Tech-Priest to assess the Threats within.

Over 9 Hours had passed until they received a transmission from the now returning Thunderhawk, which detailed the presence of both Genestealers and an Ork Warband onboard the vessel along with vast amounts of Archeo-Tech at its Heart. This information came at a cost however as 3 Battle-Brothers were lost to a crossfire between the Orks and Genestealers on their way out of the Hulk.

A plan was set in motion to send the 1st Company in behind the Genestealers and the 2nd and 3rd Companies behind the Orks and push both of them towards a large Hangar Bay and surround them in a pincer movement and wipe them out. The plan proved successful as the two forces retreated into the Hangar Bay and proceeded to fight each other as well as get shot at by the Astartes that had pursued them throughout the Hulk. In the end the Genestealers and Orks were wiped out and the Adeptus Mechanicus extracted a horde of Archeo-Tech from the Hulks Core, an as thanks for this the Mechanicus gifted the Nova Wolves with a new Strike Cruiser, and not long after the Burial Ceremony of the fallen Marines during the Battle the Cruiser was christened by the Master of the Forge and was called, The Vengeance of Eternity.
