Sevatar, effectively in command of the legion due to his rank as [[First Captain]] during the absence of the primarch and his violent dissolution of the Kyroptera, nevertheless decided to reform the council of captains, though admittedly with members of his choice. Sending out invitations, the new members met in the primarch's quarters aboard the legion [[flagship]], the ''[[Nightfall]]''. There, Sevatar outlined his new plan; the legion would disperse into six great companies, each commanded by one of the Kyroptera, and scatter across the [[galaxy]]. From that point on, each commander and his great company could do whatever they wished, as long as they attacked the [[Imperium]]. Sevatar himself would take his Atramentar and whoever wished to come with him, and head towards [[Terra]]. The new members of the Kyroptera requested time to think on this plan, and received three days to consider it. Though one of their number at least correctly divined that Sevatar would likely just kill whoever disagreed with his plan.{{Fn|1c}}
Ultimately, the Dark Angels would force their hands, as once again the legion of the [[Lion El'Jonson|Lion]] managed to ambush the Dark Angels. Formulating a plan of attack that only required a portion of the legion, Sevatar ordered the other Kyroptera to take their assigned forces and scatter. While three of the new members did as ordered, one of them - [[Ophion]] - volunteered his units to aid Sevatar. Complicating matters further, at least the flagship of Var Jahan also stayed behind, under the command of the newly awoken Night Haunter.{{Fn|1d}} While Sevatar and Var Jahn were captured by the Dark Angels during a subsequent boarding action,{{Fn|1e}}the fates of the rest are currently unknown.
