==Overview==
The Interex maintained a close alliance with alien races such as the [[Kinebrach]]. They were encountered by the [[Luna Wolves]] during the Great Crusade. The technology of the Interex was in many ways more advanced than that of the [[Imperium]]'s, but was not as strongly focused on the waging of war.
Devoted to fighting chaos, (they referred to it as 'Kaos') they regarded the [[63rd expedition]] sceptically, as they thought they might be tainted by it. They were in talks with Horus and his peers when a marine (First Chaplain[[ Erebus]] of the [[Word Bearers]]) tainted by the powers of Chaos infiltrated the Hall of Devices, the Interex museum of artefacts and weapons, sabotaged the building to explode and stole a valuable and dangerous Kinebrach sword known as an [[Anathame]]. [[Battle of Xenobia Principis|Fights ]] broke out between Space Marines and Interex forces until Warmaster Horus was successfully evacuated off planet.
The stolen [[Anathame]] would be the weapon that would later mortally wound [[Horus]].
