=== The Great Crusade ===
The coming of the Emperor brought much change to Caliban. Jonson disbanded the knightly orders and eventually joined the [[Great Crusade]] at the head of his legion. Vast swathes of the planet were cleared. Mines were dug and huge manufactories were built to provide for the Legion and the Emperor's [[Great Crusade|Crusade]]. Gone were the villages and towns and in their place vast structures called arcologies were built to house the population. Much of the nobility lost their peasant farmers, and disenfranchised they turned to rebellion.{{Fn|3}} Meanwhile, Luther and a large portion of the Dark Angels returned to Caliban after a falling out with The Lion during the [[Sarosh]] campaign. Bitter, jealous, and feeling abandoned, Luther had to deal with an increasingly violent rebellion by the anti-Imperial nobility.{{Fn|3}}
