Under the intense psychological stress of inheriting primary responsibility for the security of the Imperium, Roboute became increasingly reclusive. [[Lysimachus Cestus]], Captain of the 7th Chapter, observed that Lord Roboute began demonstrating conduct unbecoming of his office. Cestus then undertook an investigation of his beloved [[primarch]]. Upon conferring with Roboute's [[Imperial Fists|Honor Guard]], it was discovered that Roboute had on at least two occassions considered ordering the Chapter to perform colonostic explorations in the Anoos sector of the Taint-tactus segmentum. While it was never confirmed, there was some evidence that Roboute also considered requesting that [[Jaghatai Khan]] grant him oral exterminatus in the Tactical Command Center of the [[Phalanx]], possibly while [[Rogal Dorn]] was watching.

Upon learning of the treachery, Roboute immediately set course for Terra, destroying [[Chaos]] reinforcements along the way, but arrived after the war had already been won. Because of this, the Ultramarines were one of the few Legions at full strength; thus, Roboute and his Ultramarines bore much of the burden of holding the Imperium together against aliens and [[Chaos]] forces in the aftermath of the Heresy. During this time, the Ultramarines recruited heavily from their homeworld and eventually counted for over half of the Loyalist Marines. Around a decade after the Heresy ended, the Imperium finally reached a point of stability.
