In 969.M41{{Fn|1a}} Garadon took part in the [[Invasion of Taladorn]]. During the battle Garadon served as second in command for [[Julius Vogen]]. after landing via [[drop pod]] [[3rd Company (Imperial Fists)|3rd Company]] made its way into the fortress following the trail of destruction left by [[Darnath Lysander|Lysander]]. As they wen through the fortress a running battle broke out between them and the [[Iron Warriors]], during which a [[Daemon engine]] attacked them, and killed Vogen, leaving Garadon in command. After killing the Daemon engine the Iron Warriors retreated and Garadon had 3rd company press on. After entering the pinnacle of the command spire he had 3rd Company head towards the fight [[5th Company (Imperial Fists)|5th company]], [[1st Company (Imperial Fists)|1st company]], and Lysander were in the middle of. After Garadon had the company form a defensive circle a [[Heldrake]] damaged an [[Imperial Fist]] [[stormraven]], causing it to crash right through 3rd Company's position, after which they were decimated by nearby enemies. During the fighting Garadon's right arm was shattered by an [[autocannon]] shell. When [[Cato Sicarius]] offered assistance for the second time in the battle, and Lysander refused again, Garadon turned on his comm and formally accepted their assistance. He then ignored Lysander screaming on the comm, turned on his [[teleport homer]], and was surrounded by 30 [[Ultramarine]] [[Terminator|terminators]]. The battle turned in their favour but Garadon took little part in the scouring of the world later, as the [[Apothecary|Apothecaries]] said he was unfit for battle.{{Fn|1d}}

===13th Black Crusade===

Garadon was left on the ''[[Phalanx]]'' to rebuild the company while [[Lysander]] and [[Vorn Hagen]] left with 5 Companies for a [[Crusade]], and 3 others were deployed to the [[Segmentum Obscurus]], leaving 30 members of the First Company and the brand new Third Company on the ''Phalanx''. When the [[13th Black Crusade]] started, [[Warsmith]] [[Shon'tu]] and [[Daemon Prince]] [[Be'lakor]] [[Battle of the Phalanx|assaulted]] the ''Phalanx'', entering it via a warp. Garadon took command, rallying the crew and his battle brothers. When the ship was infected with corruption he withdrew his forces from those sections and ordered the ''Phalanx's'' weapons to shoot those sections. Once the infected sections were gone and the machine virus no longer had a hold on the ship, Garadon set it on a blind heading into the [[Immaterium]]. This made the [[Daemon]]s that had invaded stronger, so Garadon gathered the remainder of his forces in the '''Chamber of Storms''' to make a stand. When Be'lakor joined the fight, the [[Legion of the Damned]] arrived to help the Imperial Fists, and Be'lakor was forced to retreat with his forces in the middle of a fight with Garadon. When the Legion didn't leave after the battle Garadon thought there was still something for the ''Phalanx'' to do before returning to Terra. As soon as they set their course for [[Terra]] the [[Librarian]]s received a distress hymnal from [[Cadia]]. Garadon overruled [[Trevaux]]'s and [[Furan]]'s objections to them responding and had the ''Phalanx'' set out for Cadia.{{Fn|2a}}
