They attacked both Vervunhive and [[Vanick]] Hive, the latter being destroyed when Ferrozoica targeted it with Nuclear weapons. Vervunhive suffered a mass infantry and war-machine assault, and the Zoican forces were on the verge of winning when their mobile command centre, dubbed "The Spike" by Imperial commanders, was infiltrated by [[Colonel-Commissar]] [[Ibram Gaunt]] and his strike force of [[Tanith First and Only|Tanith]], [[Volpone Bluebloods|Volpone]] and [[Scratch Company]] troops and destroyed.
When the command centre was destroyed the Chaos forces fled back towards their home hive but were obliterated by a combined force of [[Imperial Guard]], [[Space Marines]], [[Titan Legions]] and [[Imperial Navy]]. Ferrozoica itself was engaged from orbit by the Imperial Navy and flattened.
The livery of Ferrozoica is ochre, and its corrupted soldiers are described to be equipped with lasguns and guard equipment, wearing ochre fatigues and snarling skull-like helmets. They used a variety of imperial tanks and exotic war-machines, the latter created by their leader, [[Heritor Asphodel]]. Their vehicle crews were dressed in black fatigues and did not wear helmets, revealing their heads to be nearly covered in implants which relayed Chaos chatter to them from The Spike, keeping them under Chaos control.
