Changes

The Beast had begun a massive invasion of the Imperium's planets in the Ultima Segmentum and Eidolica was one of the earliest to feel the Warlord's wrath. Without any warning one of the Beast's [[Attack Moon]]'s appeared in Eidolica's orbit and launched a massive invasion, that the surprised {{PAGENAME}} were unable to contain. Within the first hours of the invasion, the current Chapter Master [[Alameda]] was killed and command fell to [[First Captain]] [[Garthas]]{{Fn|1b}} until he too died at the Orks' hands. As their Home World fell further into the Orks' control, Second Captain [[Maximus Thane]] took command of what remained of the Chapter within the Alcazar Astra and prepared to defend Eidolica to the last man, from within their Fortress Monastery{{Fn|1d}}. Just as he was making preparations to defend the Alcazar Astra from another Ork attack however, he was met by the [[Black Templars]] [[Marshal]] [[Bohemond]], whose fleet had arrived in Eidolica's orbit. The Marshal brought ill tidings and said that besides the defense at the Fortress, the planet had fallen and there was no point in fighting a battle that would only lead to the {{PAGENAME}}'s destruction. The Marshal said he had come to evacuate what remained of the Chapter, so that they could fight to save other world's of the Imperium, from the ravages of the The Beast's Ork forces. Though Thane resisted at first, he eventually agreed with Bohemond, that Eidolica could not be saved and gave the order for the surviving members of the {{PAGENAME}} to evacuate to the Marshal's fleet in orbit.{{Fn|1a}}
