Formed covertly by [[Rogal Dorn]] after the adoption of the [[Codex Astartes]], the protocol called for the Imperial Fists and their Successors to reunify into a [[Legion]] should [[Terra]] come under grave threat. Should this condition be met, the Imperial Fists, [[Black Templars]], [[Crimson Fists]], [[Excoriators]], [[Iron Knights]]{{Fn|2}}, [[Fists Exemplar]], and [[Soul Drinkers]]{{Fn|2}} were all to rendezvous in the [[Phall System]] before moving to save Terra. Because the protocol violated the edicts of the Codex Astartes and the will of the [[High Lords of Terra]], the Last Wall could have resulted in the condemnation of the Imperial Fists and their successors as traitors.{{Endn|1}}
Thus far the only known example of the Last Wall protocol being put into action was during the [[War of the Beast]], where the combined forces of Dorn's sons fell under the control of [[Chapter Master]] [[Koorland]].{{Fn|1}} During the conflict, the Chapter's of The Last Wall each contributed a portion of their strength to rebuild the extinct Imperial Fists.{{Fn|3}}
