The war to retake Vraks took eighteen years instead of twelve, and didn't so much "retake" Vraks as deny it to the enemy since the ammunitions piles and supplies stockpiles on Vraks - the primary reason for the siege in the first place - were completely consumed. In the end, the primary result was lots of death. The Imperium destroyed fourteen traitor Titans (for the cost of nine Titans of their own), the [[Dark Angels]] got a bunch of prisoners from the [[Alpha Legion]] to interrogate (in retrospect, their interest may have been due to a possible link between Arkos and some [[Fallen Angels|totally random renegades with no relation to the Dark Angels whatsoever]]), and the weapons of Vraks were kept on planet and not allowed to be taken off-planet by other traitor warbands.

The prisoners rescued from the cells in the fortress, six Sisters of Battle and Cardinal Xaphan himself (who had long since been turned into a [[Chaos Spawn|you-know-what]]), were so destroyed by their experiences that they were barely people anymore. The Sisters ended up in Inquisitorial custody, and thanks to their "care" in Chaos custody [[/d/|were so experimented on and broken by the time they were freed]] that they were eventually given the [[Blam|Emperor's Peace]], while the thing that used to be Cardinal Xaphan was summarily executed by the Grey Knights who found him. Zhufor the Impaler had long since departed the planet in order to shed blood for Khorne elsewhere; four different assassination attempts against him all ended in failure, and the Skulltakers would later play a part in many battles in the 13th Black Crusade.

Meanwhile, Deacon Mamon, the jerk who started the whole thing, escaped justice entirely, having joined the Nurglite warband known as The Tainted when Zhufor's coup happened. In fact, [[Nurgle]] was so pleased with how he turned Vraks into a scene of death and decay that he made Mamon a [[Daemon Prince]]. Such is life in the [[grimdark|grim, dark]] future.
