→Kalliphor Engagement
====Kalliphor Engagement====
The battles for, around, and on, Kalliphor were so brutal and disastrous that the losses shaped the rest of the Pariah Nexus Campaign. Losses included 30-40 Million Dead, or Stilled. 373 starships of the Imperial Fleet and their crews were lost, including the Naval vessels ''[[His Imperial Majesty]]'', and ''[[His Divine Purpose]]''.{{CMEFn|2b}}
Events resulting in such casualties include the deaths of 2 million men and women of the [[Kalliphorian Free Companies]] in the bunkers beneath the [[Glastojun Mountains]] due to assault by tens of thousands of [[Flayed Ones]].{{CMEFn|2b}}
Alongside the many deaths, there were great victories. These include:
The Charge of the [[Heskian Light Dragoons]], and the [[Siege of Traanaxis Hive]], where the [[ratlings]] of the [[337th Abhuman Auxiliaries]] allegedly assassinated hundred of high-ranking [[Necrons]] - holding the Hive long enough for the [[Heskian Light Dragoons]] to relieve them.{{CMEFn|2b}}
The sabotaging actions of the [[Haephosian Tritons]] resulted in the collapse of a Tomb Complex into the [[Tranzpasian Ocean]], preventing the 78th Division of the [[Aeronautica Imperialis]] - the 'Fire Jackals' - from being overwhelmed by the Necron air/space forces deployed from the complex.{{Fn|2b}}
