Background

They then went on a Crusade against the forces of Chaos into the Eye of Terror to earn vengeance and regain their honour and were rarely seen in the Imperium since.[8] Lord Castellan Creed of Cadia insisted that the Chapter still fought for the Imperium and, indeed, it participated in the defence of Cadia during Abaddon the Despoiler's 13th Black Crusade.[5][9]
