The Joran Retribution was a battle fought on Joran VI by the Joran VI Retaliation Force[2], aiming to rescue Astra Militarum forces from the T’au.[1]

History

The Joran Retribution began near the end of the Damocles Crusade, with the intention of saving nearly 100 outflanked Regiments of Astra Militarum from T’au forces.[1]

The Retribution involved forces of the Ultramarines 1st Company, 3rd Company, and 10th Company, as part of the Joran VI Retaliation Force, including a Strike Force[2] led by Captain Jehnnus Ardias, as well as Mikael Fabian, then a Veteran among the 1st Company elements.[1]

While successful in rescuing millions of Astra Militarum troops, the Ultramarines companies involved in the Retribution suffered high losses, especially the 3rd Company, which formed the majority of the Space Marine force. Captain Jehnnus Ardias was slain here.[1]

Trivia

Conflicting Sources

  • Imperial Armour vol. 2 refers to the planet that the Retribution occurred on/the Retaliation Force using “VI” and “IV” multiple times in different parts of the book. While there could be two Retaliation Forces and planets, since Sons of Ultramar only refers to the planet once (using “VI”), and the numbers are very similar, this is assumed to be a typo, with instances of “IV” assumed to mean “VI”.
