==[[Third War for Armageddon]]==
The [[Third War for Armageddon]] saw the bloodiest fighting around Hive Helsreach. Again it was its port facilities that drew the attention of the Orks, and a good fight. It was estimated that around three million humans died in its defencedefense.
An attack was attempted by the Orks of the [[Crooked Moons]] against the south and east side of the Hive, although these were repulsed by the [[Salamanders]] [[Space Marines]] while the [[Titan Legion|Titans]] of the [[Legio Metalica]] and [[Legio Invigilata]] bombarded the Ork landing positions to the north from within the Hive.
Also, along the Hel's Highway, Ork forces often broke through the defences and assaulted the north of the Hive. Dispite Despite these constant attacks and setbacks, the population of Hive Helsreach have fought like their forefathers, with a vigor and zeal that made the Orks pay dearly for every inch of ground they took.
