In desperation, they sought to migrate to one of the Maiden Worlds but it was subjected to Exterminatus by the Mechanicus in order to stem the tide from the Tyranids of Hive Fleet Garm. This caused a sense of bitterness from the Aeldar towards the humans and they made a desperate search for a means of saving their dying Craftworld.
