After the Orks' space hulk crashed into Jesta Planet, only the Star Navy Fleet, the Imperial Combined Fleet, and the Chaos warbands' fleets remained in the Jesta Galaxy.

The Star Navy Fleet and the Imperial Combined Fleet joined forces once more to attack the Chaos warbands' fleets.

After their commanders personally led boarding parties into the Orks' space hulk and failed in their mission, the Chaos warbands' fleets had not managed to withdraw from the hulk in such a short time. They had followed the Orks' space hulk into Jesta Planet as well.

Having lost their commanders, these Chaos fleets steadily retreated under the combined assault of the Star Navy Fleet and Imperial Combined Fleet. With the four Chaos warbands possessing only fifty or sixty warships combined, it would take only a short while for the allied fleets to wipe them out.

Rumble—

Earth-shaking explosions rang out continuously across Jesta's surface. Heavy shells fell relentlessly among the Orks, and the powerful shockwaves from their detonations easily tore apart Orks nearby.

The first wave of Orks to enter Jesta Planet had been whittled down by the Defense Force and Astra Militarum from several hundred million to fewer than ten million.

Though their numbers continued to dwindle, the Orks' morale did not falter. Instead, they launched even more frenzied attacks against the Defense Force and Astra Militarum.

However, once the mutants and dark god cultists under the Chaos warbands joined the battle, the Orks were completely exterminated by the three-sided assault in just half a day.

After the Orks on Jesta Planet had been wiped out, the Astra Militarum and Defense Force joined forces instead and began besieging the Chaos warband members together.

"Charge! Crush every last one of these utterly detestable, damned lackeys of the dark gods! Let none escape!"
