Overview
Roughly ten millennia after the Horus Heresy[1b], Epistolary Librarian Merchsturmer, at the behest of Technomagos Ipsissimus and "an emissary to the Inquisitorial Representative" of the High Lords of Terra, led "half a squad" of Purple Stars marines into the Eye of Terror on a reconnaissance mission.[1c]
When Chaos Space Marines boarded their null ship, the Purple Stars, outnumbered, fought "with chainswords and power axes, and with savage cries" repelled them. Only Librarian Merchsturmer and an astropath survived the battle.[1d] Librarian Merchsturmer later died of his wounds, but saved his Brothers' Progenoid Glands and warned the Imperium of an approaching Black Crusade.[1e]
Epistolaries of the Purple Stars are known to wear black armour.[1a]
