==The End of the Crusade==
*{{Main|Horus Heresy}}
The age of the Great Crusade ended with the virus bombing of [[Isstvan III]]. The loyalist legions were recalled to Terra to defend against the traitor [[Warmaster]] [[Horus]], but not all of the Legions were able to return. The [[Ultramarines]] were mired in the Ultramar system fighting [[Kor Phaeron]] and his retinue of [[Word Bearers]] that had come to destroy them. The [[Space Wolves]] were finishing their battle at Prospero with the now openly traitorous [[Thousand Sons]] and the [[Dark Angels]] were in the midst of a civil war on Caliban.
