A research station were established back to M40 and thousands of Imperial researchers and scientists were station there. When an ork WAAAGH! making a planet fall and slaughter a small research bunker, the Gulf Hawks answered their distress call, sending in Captain Axelson of the 5th Company to defend New Plata.

Upon making planet-fall, the 5th Company were facing a numerous Ork WAAAGH!, outnumbered 10:1. Under leadership of Captain Axelson and Chaplain Rodriguez, the brave Gulf Hawks press on to the Central Research Station and defend the place from marauding orks.

The Ork Warboss 'Ead Eater and his WAAAGH! sought to claim an ancient xenos artifact that is highly praised that lies beneath the Central Research Station. He send wave after wave of Ork Boyz, Nobz and even the Wartraks to decimate the humans but for almost four months the Gulf Hawk stand unconquered. Unknown to the humans, an ork tunneler had successfully breach the underground levels and swarming in huge numbers.

On the fifth month, reinforcements have come to aid the Gulf Hawks, the Storm Zealots 4th Company under leadership of Captain Shoshanim along with his army of Devastators and Centurions had come to lay waste upon the Ork hordes, barraging the enemy with heavy bolters, missile launchers and plasma cannons. With the Storm Zealots came to aid the Gulf Hawks, Captain Axelson decide to take two squads to the inner sanctum to defend the artefact from the Ork infiltrators. It was there that Axelson manage to duel the Warboss himself.
