In the year [[M41|988.M41]] [[Rynn's World]] and the nearby world of [[Badlanding]] were invaded by [[Ork]] [[Warboss Uzrog]] under the orders of [[Snagrod|Snagrod, the Arch-arsonist]] of [[Charadon]]. When the orks invaded [[Badlanding]], The [[Imperial Guard]] [[Planetary Defense Force]], consisting of the [[Imperial_Guard#Mordian_Iron_Guard|18th Mordian]], [[Imperial_Guard|24th Lammas]] and [[Imperial_Guard|49th Boros]] Imperial Guard Regiments, commanded by [[Commissar-General Alhaus Baldur]] are defeated within days. In retaliation, the Fourth Company of the [[Crimson Fists]] assaults Badlanding. The Crimson Fists underestamated the size and strength of Warboss Uzrog's forces. The result is a failed attack on [[Warboss Uzrog]]'s warband with the loss of 56 Space Marines out of the company's 84, [[Captain Drakken]] is among the fallen. Shocked by the failure of the Fourth Company, the Crimson Fists indefinitely suspended all raids and order all companies of the Crimson Fists are recalled to Rynn's World.<BR>
Warboss Uzrog then attacks Rynn's World. During the Orkish invasion, the Crimson Fists suffer a trillion to one chance malfunction when a rogue missile from the chapter's surface-to-space defense system flys off course and hits the fortress-monastery's main arsenal. the the ensuing holocaust devastated the Crimson Fist's fortress-monastery and almost wipes-out the Chapter. Two groups of Crimson Fists did survive, the first were Marines surveying the outer defenses with [[Chapter Master Pedro Cantor|Commander Pedro Cantor]]. These joinded up with the second group, who were seconded to New Rynn City's defense forces, The surviving Crimson Fists stay in New Rynn City to hold out against Uzrog's siege. As a result of the ork invasion all of the planets' cities were destroyed with the exception of New Rynn City, the capital and seat of the world's government.
