===Battle at the Phall System===
Despite a lot of doubt from his underlings, the plan worked incredibly well and resulted in the EPIC [[Battle of Phall]]. The Iron Warriors, expecting the Fists to be under [[Sigismund]]'s command and to do the predictable thing of landing and fortifying their position, were completely unprepared for what came out the other end. Polux was ready for them and what should have been a roflstomp turned out to be anything but despite the fact that the Iron Warriors were lead by no less than their Primarch himself. Heavy casualties were inflicted on both sides, but once the initial assault was over, the Fists had absolutely gained the upper hand despite the Iron Warriors' numerical advantage.

During the battle, Captain Amandus Tyr informed Polux that the Iron Warriors' flagship was amongst the enemy fleet. Polux then thought 'What would [[Horus]] do?' and ordered Tyr to send a Strike Force right into the heart of the enemy, board the Iron Blood, and shoot [[Perturabo]] into oblivion (a fitting end). They came unbelievably close to killing Perty (in his own bedroom no less) but ultimately a Primarch is a Primarch and a royally pissed-off Pert repainted the walls of his chambers with Imperial Fist [[rip and tear|blood (and brains, and viscera, and armor parts...)]] This did cause Perty's paranoia to skyrocket which lead to a lot of problems for the Iron Warriors, so there is that at least.

Victory was almost at hand for the Fists, but then Dorn sent a Grindr message ordering everyone left back to Terra to help prepare for the [[Siege of Terra|final battle]]. Understanding that they had done what they needed to do, Polux pulled out and headed home, leaving the Iron Warriors with a hollow victory, a raging lunatic for a leader and not enough resources to make much more of a real impact for the remainder of the Heresy until the very end at the battle for Terra [[Perturabo#Iron Cage|and after Horus' death]].

Sadly enough, the signal the [[Navigator]]s picked up as the Fists retreated wasn't the Astronomican but the Pharos instead. Polux and his pals ended up in [[Ultramar]] where [[Roboute Guilliman|Granddaddy Smurf]] was [[Imperium Secundus|doin' some shady shit, yo!]] Polux didn't take it meekly and called Guilliman out on it but he was in the end too loyal an Imperial to go against a [[Primarch]] and he dropped the subject, especially when both [[Lion El'Johnson]] and [[Sanguinius]] seemed to be a-okay with Guilliman's [[heresy|practical solution]]. Polux stayed well-clear of the political bullshit, limiting himself to offer a couple of pointers about fortifications. He was asked by the First Master of the Ultramarines - thus the sixth in command after the Tetrarchs and Guilliman - to aid in turning the capital city of Macragge into an impermeable fortress, and did such a good job that both the Cabal and Konrad Curze had legit trouble getting in unnoticed.
