The Defence of Texxus was a defensive campaign that was conducted by the Gulf Hawks Space Marine Chapter upon the Imperial world of Texxus against a large Slaaneshi horde of Heretic Astartes, Chaos Cultists and their daeminic allies.

History
Texxus is a verdant grassland planet located close to Hive World New Merica after an asteroid belt called "Ring of Revere". Once a maiden world now belong to the Imperium, the council of Texxus had sworn loyalty to the Planetary Government of New Merica and form as united planet system that loyal to the Imperium of Mankind. There are only one Hive City in New Texxus where the lower hives have become a nest and safehouse for Rogue Traders, smugglers, or unknown cults. The rest of the planets are covered with grasslands, forests, and rocky mountains still lay uncharted by the Imperial Explorers. Over many centuries there begin to spread a rumor of an Exodite community that live secluded but yet conduct a trade agreement with the Rogue Traders.

At the beginning of 911.M41, Texxus is invaded by a massive Chaos horde, the 'Pride of Slaanesh', under leadership Chaos Sorceress Queen Tarnakh the Enslaver. The Sorceress Queen that once cast back into the warp were summoned by underground cult of Slaanesh. She open many portal gates and thus a massive horde of daemonettes poured forth bringing mass destruction upon New Texxus. A combined forces of Gulf Hawks 4th Company and the entire chapter of Void Rangers are dispatched to defend and destroy the Slaaneshi marauders.

On the course of battle, Captain Murphy, Librarian Cavill and Ranger Captain Hoult learn that Tarnakh the Enslaver had also summoned a company of Noise Marines from the Emperors Children Traitor Legion. Together the Gulf Hawks and Void Rangers alongside the armed citizen militia of New Texxus are manage to deliver a shocking blow amongst the Daemonettes.

The battle ends by the end of 911.M41. Though the Hive City are nearly destroyed, the daemonic horde were stopped after Captain Murphy manage to plant a hot blessed bolt rounds on the skull of the Sorceress. The remaining heretic forces were taken refuge to the Texxus forest. The Gulf Hawks then leave Texxus while hundred ships filled with Imperial builders, doctors, medicines, and foods are making a planet fall towards the ruined Hive City.

When Ranger Captain Hoult and his men hunt the heretics, they found a large camp full of death bodies of heretics, and Noise Marines, all slaughtered to pieces. The Ranger Captain then ordered the Void Rangers and the militia to burn the bodies and clean the place. Unknown to him, an Eldar Ranger watch him from afar knowing that the human inhabitants had clean the evidence they made.In a blink of an eye, the eldar vanish. Texxus were saved though with heavy cost.
