The Forge's own force of God-Machines, the [[Legio Tempestus]] , was severely depleted through constant tithes to the Crusade, and stood no hope of holding off the hordes of Chaos. As luck would have it, the [[Legio Invicta]] was travelling past Orestes on their way to the Crusade main front after crushing a force of [[Eldar]] in the [[Beltran Cluster]], and Lord Gearhart of Invicta comes came to the Forge's aid.<sup>1</sup><br>Orestes was liberated from Chaos that same yearwithin weeks, although the southernmost hives were destroyed in the fighting, and a great many engines and [[Imperial Guard]] were lost.<sup>1</sup>
