Haling from the Afrik Addaba Hive, it was composed of several Regiments sent by the Hive to defend the Imperial Palace. However these Regiments were repeatedly attacked, by the forces of Horus on their journey to the Palace and lost or were separated from their Commanders. This made it necessary for these now depleted Regiments to be reorganised into the Free Corps, under the command of Captain-General Yennu Egwu[1a]. After much strife, the new Regiment was eventually able to reach their rendezvous within a hidden base, near the Lion's Gate Space Port. The Primarch Dorn had set the base there, as part of his plan for its Imperial forces to serve as rapid reinforcements for the space port, when it became threatened. However, when he later gave the order for the base to attack Horus' forces invading the Lion's Gate, the Addaba Free Corps revealed they were loyal to the traitorous Warmaster[1b]. The Regiment then began attacking the other Imperial forces within the hidden base, which prevented them from aiding the space port[1c]. Because of the Addaba Free Corps' actions, the Lion's Gate fell to the Warmaster, but in retaliation, the Imperium soon destroyed the Regiment's home, Addaba Hive, with orbital fire.[1d]
