While on Terra he worked closely with Custodes under Valerian against Chaos Cults on Terra and later helped battle the Minotaurs following their participation in the Hexarchy's coup. When the Age of the Dark Imperium began, Tor Garadon led the Phalanx to Terra where he deployed a Company of Imperial Fists to help establish calm on the Throneworld following the Sack of the Lion's Gate. Garadon then arrived over Cadia and fought alongside Imperial defenders against Abaddon the Despoiler. Ultimately, Garadon's small force was saved by the Legion of the Damned. However Warsmith Shon'tu assaulted the Phalanx in its vulnerable state, leaving Garadon and a small force of Imperial Fists to defend the vessel. Garadon was left on the Phalanx to rebuild the Company while Lysander and Vorn Hagan left with 5 Companies for a Crusade. Many veterans of the Crusade of Thunder arrived to be transferred into the rebuilt formation under Garadon.

Garadon received permission to leave the 2nd Company and rebuild the 3rd. Īfter the Siege of Hydra Cordatus the 3rd Company was slain to a man. After Captain of the 2nd Garadon cultivated alliances and ties with many famous Space Marines such as Cato Sicarius of the Ultramarines, Colvane Brasch of the Invaders, Erasmus Tycho of the Blood Angels, and Draco of the Black Templars. In the aftermath of the battle Garadon became disillusioned with Darnath Lysander's reckless leadership which caused unnecessary casualties and contacted Chapter Master Vladimir Pugh, who had Lysander recalled to the Phalanx to stand before the Chapter Council.

Garadon later played a key role in the Invasion of Taladorn. When Captain Julius Vogen took command of the 3rd Company, he saw Garadon's potential and promoted him to a position within the hallowed 1st Company as a Veteran Sergeant. There, Garadon was forced to take command after his Captain Opara was killed and led 6 surviving Battle Brothers in rear assaults.

Garadon earned a name for himself during the Nosfer Planetstrike, when the 3rd Company became stranded behind Necron lines under Lord Zangeneb. During his first decade of service Garadon earned high amounts of commendations but was not offered any promotions. Recruited into the Chapter from the orbitals of Callisto, his wealthy family were glad to see him depart for fate had cursed him with a stubborn and straightforward nature.
