The '''Abyssal Crusade''' was an [[Imperial]] [[Crusade]] undertaken in 321.[[M37]]. The judgement of [[Saint Basillius]] found thirty [[Space Marine]] [[Chapter]]'s lacking faith. The guilty chapters are given a choice between death or embarking upon a great crusade into the [[Eye of Terror]]. All would choose the latter.{{Fn|1}}
Later, in 112.[[M38]], the survivors of the Crusade returned to Imperial space. Claiming to have purged more than four hundred worlds within the Eye of Terror, [[Chapter Master]] [[Konvak Lann]] of the [[Vorpal Swords]] would declare the now ancient Saint Basillius a false idol. In less than a year, every known sepulcher and shrine to the "false saint" is destroyed". The Saints bones and relics are placed in a derelict freighter and launched directly into a nearby star.{{Fn|1}}
