== Aftermath ==
The last light of Pharos beacon enabled second relief force led by [[primarch]] [[Guilliman]] to translate directly into Sothan System. This second fleet reinforced Corvo's vessels and hunted down disabled [[Night Lords]] vessels in the system. [[Guilliman]] posthumously awarded [[Dantioch]] the title Hero of Imperium, inducted the neophytes who survived the battle into legion and promoting their leader to the rank of [[Reconnaissance Squad]] [[Sergeant]]. Under [[Polux]]'s guidance a partial functionality of Pharos beacon was restored and [[Guilliman]] announced construction of larger fortress to guard Mount Pharos . The 199th Aegida Company of the Ultramarines was awarded by Guilliman with an emblem of two crossed scythes, which would eventually form their basis to become the [[Scythes of the Emperor]] after the implementation of the [[Codex Astartes]].{{Fn|3n}}.
Unknown to all involved, the Battle of Sotha would have grave consequences for the galaxy, as the overloading of the Pharos alerted the [[Tyranids]], then drifting in the intergalactic void, to our galaxy.{{Fn|3p}} Ten thousand years later, Sotha would later be invaded by a splinter of [[Hive Fleet Leviathan]], resulting in the destruction of the world and the near-annihilation of the [[Scythes of the Emperor]] [[Space Marine Chapter]], which had made Sotha its [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|homeworld]]{{Fn|4}}.
