==Rennugg's Offensive==
''I am proud to declare my place in the liberation of those worlds. We stood side by side with living firestorms, and held our own.''

-'''Aluf Lletram Quinten, 75th Gethsemane Noble Guard'''

Trecton, the lone mining world became the capital of the Sector. The stellar territory was organized hastily, possessing only a meager defense fleet of six frigate-class vessels of various type. The number of Imperial Army Regiments here were inadequate for the coming defense. The might of Rennugg's early strike took them completely by surprise. All the gunboats intended to protect Trecton were easily swept aside. The Orks landed down onto the planet expecting little resistance to come from the locals. After all, the Warboss's plan was to draw out better fighters. Each Ork came to be pleasantly surprised by the abilities of the 10th and 15th Carlisian Shock Troops Regiments stationed there. '''Captain Serman Williams''' became notable during the defense, his decisive actions being what the Imperials needed. On the other worlds of the Trectos Sector, the Orks did not face the same success. It would take them much longer to overcome local Imperial fleet assets. 

Trecton's major cities fell within two months of the campaign. The 15th's entire officer corps was encircled and butchered. Captain Serman was given temporary command of the 15th in their absence, guiding the few lieutenants not slain by Ork choppas. The 10th decided to ignore civilian evacuation measures, engaging head on with the Orks with the assistance of local fighters. These elements were not the ''1st Trecton Hammerers'', who chose to focus on withdrawing citizens. These were militia drawn up from the many urban centers overtaken by the Orks. Untrained but zealous, combined with the rapid action of the Carlisians, Rennugg was not able to penetrate their defense. A stalemate began to develop where the Orks would launch a strike, be blunted, and wait until doing the same again a week later. The Warboss did not want to waste his best troops fighting regular humies, wanting to face the mythical Space Marines so many Freebootas told him about. 

Rennug would get his wish. Inferox was wasting no time in mustering up the full might of his Legion. Every Marine available was drawn into the 14th Expedition Fleet, as the Primarch hoped to show all the strength of his Sons. The 18th, 27th, and 29th Gethsemane Noble Guards had arrived with the ships of the fleet, quickly pulled into the reinforcement effort upon arrival. Though Inferox wished to immediately assist Trecton, but [[Adarhormazd]] spoke out against blind action. With the assistance of the Legionary Equerry [[Dilshad]] an attack plan was devised. The Gethsemane Regiments would land upon Trecton to bolster the defense, while the Sons attacked the Orks on the surrounding worlds. 

The Gethsemane landed upon Trecton moving right away to the front line, cycling out with the Carlisians. Due to the rigors of the siege, the taxed defenders were relievedto see help at last. Rennugg was about to launch an all out attack, thinking the Astartes had arrived too. Immediately his Weirdboy exclaimed about the fates of other Orks in the sector, burned up to a crisp. Realizing his other bands were under attack, Rennugg hastily left Trecton to pursue. Due to the 10th's officers falling as well, Serman Williams was the most senior officer among the Trectoi forces. He urged assault against the Orks as they deployed, and '''Aluf Lletram Quentin''' of the 27th Noble Guards agreed. The Imperial Army led a massive counterattack on the surface of Trecton, retaking fallen cities while butchering the Orks left behind. 

The 14th Expeditionary Fleet waited to engage Rennugg's ships right away. That battle never came. In between travelling to face Inferox, the Warboss heard of the many defeats he suffered across the sector. Fearing facing such an overwhelming foe, the Warboss fell back to the Skythykos cluster. As civilians celebrated, the Primarch did not feel their enthusiasm. His goal of breaking the Orks had not been completed, with the threat still lurking at the edge of Imperial space.
