→History: Corrected typo... it is "Macragge", instead of 'Maccrage'
The detachment of Word Bearers in command of the vessel was led by [[Fleet-Captain]] [[Zadkiel]] who was given the task by [[Kor Phaeron]] to take the ship to [[Macragge]] and destroy the planet in order to create havoc among the [[Ultramarines]] Legion. During its flight through space to its destination, it was detected by the [[Fist of Macragge]] and the Ultramarine vessel was used as target practice and destroyed by the Furious Abyss as it continued its journey. However, the distress signal from the ships [[Astropath]]s was sent to an Imperial outpost and received by [[Captain]] [[Lysimachus Cestus]], who led a group of Ultramarines, [[World Eaters]], [[Space Wolves]] and [[Thousand Sons]] to investigate the message.
The fleet made its way and caught up with the Furious Abyss and learnt it was commanded by the Word Bearers. Confused, the loyalists contacted the ship but did not receive a response. Zadkiel instead contacted the commander of the [[Waning Moon]], [[Mhotep]], in order to secure his allegiance to Horus's side. However, Mhotep decided to warn his comrades leading to a fight between the squadron and the Furious Abyss which was no contest for the large vessel. It destroyed numerous escorts and the Waning Moon before entering the [[Warp]] in order to reach MaccrageMacragge. As it did so, it deployed a [[Psionic mine]] into the Empyrean in order to disrupt any following ships [[Navigators]] ability to travel through the warp.
