→Ikara
Sometime later, Polixis joined Strike Force Fulminata's efforts to save the [[Hive World]] [[Ikara IX]], from the [[Ork]] hordes of [[Warboss|Warlord]] [[Urgork]].{{Fn|2a}} During the campaign, Polixis and his squad were separated from the main Imperial force and captured by [[Kommando]]s. Polixis was the sole survivor and was brought before Urgork, who revealed that he wished to study Polixis for the secrets of his biology and healing abilities.{{Fn|2b}}
Polixis was then brutally tortured by the Orks, including being forced to consume the heart of one of his fallen brothers.{{Fn|2c}} Thanks to Kastor and his [[Reiver]]s launching a rescue attempt, Polixis was able to escape and engaged in battle with Urgork. In the end, Polixis sacrificed himself to save the Chaplain by stepping in front of the Warbosses [[Chain Weapon]]. Kastor was able to kill Urgork, decimating the Ork horde and allowing for the Imperium to emerge victorious under the now-Captain Tyranus. Much to Kastor's relief, Polixis was able to recover from his injuries aboard the ''[[Spear of Macragge (Battle Barge)|Spear of Macragge]]''.{{Fn|2d}}
