Fig. 1 · Place on the map

Traitor victory The loyalists assault Paramar V, but the world remains in traitor hands.

Two years after the fall of Paramar V, the loyalists — Legio Atarus, Ignatum and Solaria, with assault detachments of the Blood Angels, White Scars and House Vyronii — invaded to retake the supply hub. Over two years the world changed hands more than once, but traitor reinforcements (Legio Fureans and Mortis, the Sons of Horus, the Word Bearers) held the system to the end of the Heresy.

A protracted struggle for the logistics of the northern theatre; the traitors held Paramar until the Great Scouring.

Disputed in the canon

  • Campaign 008–011.M31 (Lexicanum / Fandom); distinct from the First Battle of Paramar (006.M31, a traitor capture). The system remained with the traitors until the end of the Heresy; it was finally retaken only in the Third Battle (019.M31, the Great Scouring).
