Von Strab was grievously mistaken. Under his incompetent leadership, the planet fell bit by bit until the Orks reached Hades Hive. Here, Commissar Yarrick commanded the defending forces, inspiring them to a fanatical degree of bravery and resolve. Not a single soldier was executed for cowardice during the fighting at Hades Hive, even in the face of the overwhelming Ork numbers. Yarrick himself was always on the front lines during the fighting, receiving many battle wounds.{{Fn|1a}}
Frustrated about defiance of Hive Hades, Ghazghkull sent one of his strongest [[Warboss]]es, [[Ugulhard]], to deal with Yarrick's resistance. As the monsterous monstrous Ork and his followers overran the hive's outer defense, the Commissar stepped forward to challenge the warboss.{{Fn|7}} He was grievously wounded in this duel, as Ugulhard severed Yarrick's right arm with a swipe from his [[Power Klaw]]. Such a wound would have killed a lesser man, but Yarrick's iron will allowed him to not only survive, but to decapitate Ugulhard with his [[chainsword]] and then pull the Power Klaw from his corpse and hold it aloft for all to see. The sight caused the Orks to flee in terror, while simultaneously causing the human defenders to charge forward with renewed vigour. Only after the Orks had been routed did Yarrick allow himself the luxury of passing out.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|7}}
