'''Phodiam{{PAGENAME}}''' was an [[Imperium]] [[Hive World]] that was invaded by a tendril of [[Hive Fleet Leviathan]] in late [[M41]].{{Fn|1}}
Further disaster struck when the Imperial relief force sent to aid Phodiam was lost in a [[Warp Storm]], leaving the world defenseless before the Hive Fleet. However, a company of seven [[Freeblade Knight]]s called the [[Tarnished Shield]] then arrived and did battle with Leviathan's [[Tyranid]]s. Though they were completely outnumbered, the Tarnished Shield held the Tyranid swarms at bay long enough for over a third of Phodiam's populace to evacuate successfully, before the world fell to the Hive Fleet.{{Fn|1}}
