Hades Hive is a megacity that served as the stage for the final battle of the Second War for Armageddon. It was there that the Ork Warlord Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka and Commissar Yarrick led their troops against each other. Every ploy and stratagem the Ork Warlord employed was countered by the wily Commissar.
As the battle of the wills between the two undisputed leaders of the opposing forces continued, Ork armies moved onto the only other surviving settlements, but were fought off by the sudden arrival of the Blood Angels Space Marines. The Blood Angels were quickly reinforced by the Ultramarines and Salamanders chapters, quickly turning the tide of the war back in the Imperium's favour.
Moving north, the Space Marines failed to arrive in time to save Hades Hive, which had become much more than a military objective to Ghazghkull. The combined forces of Armageddon fell on the Orks as the latter broke into Hades Hive, slaughtering or routing every Ork that could be found. Yarrick was almost killed in the action, but stubbornly refused to die.
