Elements of [[Waaagh! Grimtoof]] descended unannounced upon the unsuspecting mining outposts, slaughtering all who stood in their way. The battle for Porphyry was fierce and bloody, with no quarter given or received on either side. Miners took up tools, as improvised weapons, and stood shoulder to shoulder with the heavily augmented Skitarii.{{Fn|1}} In orbit, the few Explorator [[cruiser]]s fought a valiant, but ultimately futile battle with the Ork voidships. Many thousands were wiped out in an instant, and overhead, the small Mechanicus fleet was routed, each ship either completely destroyed or captured and taken by [[Ork]] boarders. Greenskins swarmed through the mines and their accompanying foundries, constructed to process the raw ores. Workers who surrendered or were caught unawares and subdued were gathered up and herded into holding pens, while those who took up arms and resisted were killed without hesitation. Unlike other raids throughout the [[sector]], the men and women [[Slave|enslaved]] on Porphyry were not packed up and shipped offworld to the main bulk of the Waaagh!, but were rather put back to work, mining and refining to feed the ravenous Ork war effort.{{Fn|1}}
