Editing The Phalanx (section)

===The Gathering Storm===
Close to the end of the 41st millennium, the fortress would ''again'' be subjected to another daemonic invasion. This time around only the 3rd Company led by [[Brother-Captain]] [[Tor Garadon]] and half of the 1st Company's [[Terminator]]s were available to defend it. Leading the incursion were [[Darnath Lysander]]'s old foe, the [[Iron Warriors]] Warsmith [[Shon'tu]] and the [[Daemon Prince]] [[Be'lakor]], who sought to outdo [[Abaddon]] by conquering the ''Phalanx'' and dropping it on the Imperial Palace.

Garadon and his men fought hard, but despite their determination they were eventually pushed back to one final redoubt. Prepared for what looked like a [[Crimson Fists|last stand]], it instead became a counter-attack when the [[Legion of the Damned]] appeared en-masse to push back the daemons. Shon'tu was slain, and Be'lakor banished, but the Phalanx was wounded by the assault, as it was forced to purge ten percent of its own superstructure to prevent the spread of Chaos corruption.

As its fleet master Trevaux urged Garadon to turn the fortress to the Ring of Iron at [[Mars]] for repairs, a desperate transmission from [[Cadia]] was received. It was then that Garadon knew where his duty lay. After the most basic repairs were made, the ''Phalanx'' translated into the Warp, on course for the beleaguered fortress-world.
