→The Beheading
==The Beheading==
For reasons still unknown, in 546.[[M32]] Drakan would act against the [[High Lords of Terra]]. Deploying his elite assassins, the High Lords were slain to a man. A [[Space Marine]] strike force drawing from the [[Halo Brethren]], [[Sable Swords]], and [[Imperial Fists]] Chapters was scrambled to stop Vangorich. Storming the Assassinorum Temple on [[Terra]], the force was assailed by a hundred [[Eversor AssassinsAssassin]]s. A sole Space Marine survived to reach Vangorich and slay the mad Grand Master with his [[Bolt Pistol]]. Afterwards, the Imperium descended into a period of anarchy.<sup>1</sup>
