The Second Battle of Paramar V was an engagement of the Horus Heresy, taking place from 008 to 011.M31.[1a][1b]

History

In 008.M31, two years after the initial traitor victory in the First Battle of Paramar, loyalist forces consisting of the Legio Atarus, Legio Ignatum, Legio Solaria, Blood Angels, White Scars,[1a] House Vyronii,[1b] and Imperial Army invaded Paramar V in an attempt to retake it.[2] They clashed with defending traitors consisting of the Legio Fureans, Legio Mortis, Sons of Horus, and Word Bearers.[1a] Over two years, the planet changed hands multiple times as both loyalists as well as traitors sent reinforcements.[2]

In 011.M31, the loyalists made a last gamble to finally win the battle.[2] They conducted a series of diversionary attacks across the Paramar System in order to draw the traitor forces away from their true target, before conducting a full-scale assault on Paramar V's primary spaceport. The loyalists were able to capture it intact and then pressed outwards to begin the destruction of the mass-provender silos sprawling across the plateau beyond. However it was soon revealed that the traitors had seen through this plan and launched an enormous counter-attack. Though they inflicted heavy casualties on their attackers, the loyalist invasion force was surrounded and destroyed mercilessly.[1a][2]
