As the battle lines aboard each ship gradually approached its bridge.
Iax encountered some troublesome Aeldari units for the first time.
Several Aeldari Warlocks and Seers led a squad of Aspect Warriors, holding the passage near the bridge.

The Moramad robots were not particularly strong, but Holo-Cloaking allowed them
