Creed moved the entirety of his command to '''Kasr Kraf''', the only bastion still left in one piece after months of fighting. Located in Cadia Secundus, the fortress overlooked the strategically important Elysion Fields, which also was the homeplace of the Cadian Pylons. The defenders began strengthening the already-formidable structure, with combat engineers further expanded the existing archeologist tunnel networks and caverns beneath and turned them into fallback points and other defenses. Mechanicus Adepts scoured the many fallen bastions in the region for parts and materials to bring back everything from the Plasma Cannons to Peashooters to get ready for war.

Everywhere else in Cadia Secundus it was pretty much the same story, with Shock Trooper regiments desperately restoring ravaged defenses with whatever they could scrounge. Battered Space Marine forces, also joined them to strengthen their position.

The [[Space Wolves]] of '''Orven Highfell''' 's Great Company took position north of Kasr Kraf, in the remains of Kasr Jark, and taking skirmish actions against the odd Daemon they found. Further north from that, the [[Dark Angels]] the 4th Company under '''Brother-Captain Korahael''' turned their grounded [[Strike Cruiser]] '''Sword of Defiance''' into a mighty bastion, as enough of its naval-grade weaponry survived its crash landing. South of Kasr Kraf,'''Marshall Marius Amalrich''''s [[Black Templars]] spread themselves among the lines of Guardsmen to bolster their confidence and [[BLAM|enforce morale.]]

The battle sisters of the '''Order of the Martyred Lady''' garrisoned themselves across the valley, in the massive '''Shrine of Saint Morrican'''. This also had a side affect of letting Incense flow across the valley to Kasr Kraf and bolstering the morale of the defenders.
