The crusades mysterious and disastrous fate was kept hidden from the greater [[Imperium]], and the [[Administratum]] denies any link to it and the increase of [[Chaos Space Marine]] raids shortly afterwards. All that is known that 800 years after the Crusade began, the remnants of some of the judged Chapters returned from the Warp with their purity and sanity intact. Infuriated and bitter by their ordeal, they cast their sights on the legacy of Saint Basillius, the long-deceased figure now worshiped as a god.{{Fn|2}}
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 idoland had in reality been an apostle of [[Chaos]] who had engineered the doom of righteous Space Marine chapters. In less than a year, every known sepulcher and shrine to the "false saint" was destroyedand his followers were massacred. The Saints bones and relics were then placed in a derelict freighter and launched directly into a nearby star.{{Fn|1}}
