In this role he requested that the First Company be assigned to protecting the two polar fortresses, the vital lynchpins in Macragge's orbital defence network. He judged, rightly as it transpired, that the [[Tyranid]]s would attempt to make landings at these places to neutralise the defences, opening the door for untold numbers of the creatures to swarm down and infest the planet. The presence of the elite veterans of the 1st Company ensured that the Tyranids suffered unsustainable casualties overrunning the fortresses, delaying the inevitable long enough for [[Marneus Calgar]] and the rest of the Chapter to achieve victory in space. Captain Invictus's body was discovered among those of the last stand of the 1st Company in Silo 8 of the northern fortress. Piled twenty yards around the fallen defenders were the corpses of the Tyranids.{{Fn|1}}
