Only five Loyalist Space Marines, bearing the gene-seed of their fallen brothers and carrying the critically wounded Corax, managed to escape. They fled back to the Raven Guard's homeworld, Deliverance, to tend to their wounds and alert the Emperor.
In a single stroke Horus had destroyed crippled three entire loyalist Legions, a Primarch had fallen in battle, another was severely wounded and a third (Vulkan) was missing in action. How Vulkan was missing, and how he ultimately managed to survive and escape is still quite unclear. It was disastrous news for the Emperor and the Imperium.
During the developments at [[Prospero]], Horus's rebellion would be further strengthened by [[Magnus the Red]] and his Legion, the [[Thousand Sons]], now servants of [[Tzeentch]]. With nine Legions and much of the Adeptus Mechanicus behind him, Horus quickly struck towards Terra.<sup>2</sup>
