The redeployment of [[Szarekh]]'s forces, caused the [[Imperium]] to launch renewed assaults throughout the [[Paradyce System]], including a new effort to save the embattled [[Paradyce V]].{{Fn|1}} This became known as the '''Paradyce Reclamation Force''' and it was led by [[Indomitus Crusade Fleet Primus]]' [[Battle Group Hephaestus (Fleet Primus)|Battle Group Hephaestus]]. Among its other forces where the [[Sons of Medusa]], [[Iron Hands]] and [[Carcharodons]] [[Chapter]]s who launched the first attack on the world. Named the '''Iron Night''', the joint operation overwhelmed the rampaging Orks and threatened to end their domination over Paradyce V. The following weeks led the Imperium to claim more victories, as the entire Paradyce Reclamation Force fought the Orks to a standstill. Despite their success, infighting did erupt within the Imperium's forces, though this was mainly caused by the [[Shrouded Skulls]] Chapter.{{Fn|2}}
Even with their success, however, other factions continued to invade [[Paradyce V]] and these various forces began to tilt the war away from both the [[Imperium]] and [[Szarekh]]'s [[Necrons]]. Eventually a decisive battle won by the [[Ork]] [[Warboss|Kommanda]] [[Gorgit Killsnik]], led the '''Paradyce Reclamation Force''' to declare that the [[Industrial World]] was lost to the Imperium. With no hope of reclaiming it, [[Battle Group Hephaestus (Fleet Primus)|Battle Group Hephaestus]] left to find other battles to take part in within the [[Pariah Nexus]] and they were joined by a majority of the Reclamation Force. While there were a few [[Imperial]] forces that continued to fight for Paradyce V, they were now vastly outnumbered. The Necrons meanwhile, continued to fight for the world, though they no longer saw it fit enough to join their [[Infinite Empire]]. It is thought that the [[Necron Lord]]s would unite their strength in order to purge Paradyce V, but rumors rumours claim that the [[Phaeron|Phaeron Empress]] [[Arkhassa]] was no longer interested in fighting there. However with the absence of Battle Group Hephaestus' warships, fleets from various factions are constantly appearing in the world's orbit. Whatever the Necrons decide, Paradyce V will continue to be ravaged by war for years to come.{{Fn|3}}
