During [[Waaagh]]! [[Gitzmott]], entire worlds in the Declates system fell overnight. The [[Crimson Fists]] were dispatched quickly to deal with the [[Ork]] invaders. Upon arrival, the [[Chapter]] at first scored victory upon victory with hit-and-run attacks.
However, the Crimson Fists began to lose ground as the immense Ork invasion brought its full weight to bear. Help was needed fast. The massive Ork army was headingtowards the valuable [[Forge World]] Declates IV and the densely populated hives of Declates V. The [[Imperium]] could not let these centres fall. Nearby [[Black Templars]] heeded the call to arms, and soon the campaign was brought back to a sort of balance. It was on Declates VII that the fate of the system was determined.
