→History
After the death of Koorland, [[Maximus Thane]], [[Chapter Master]] of the [[Fists Exemplar]], rebuilt the [[Imperial Fists]] using portions of [[Battle-Brother]]s from each [[Chapter]] of the [[Last Wall]]. This force led a third push on Ullanor. In the third battle for the planet, Thane and his entourage again attempted to use a captured Ork Psyker in conjunction with a ritual by the [[Sisters of Silence]] to slay the Beast. During the battle, the assassination team encountered one of the Prime Orks, which was speculated to be the "Beast of Beasts". As it was about to wipe out the Imperial invaders, the Beast's head exploded due to the psychic ritual. The remaining Beast-class Orks and the majority of Greenskins on Ullanor died with him.{{Fn|9}}
In the aftermath of the downfall of The Beast, his Waaagh! crumbled but it took many years and a century's-long [[Crusade]]s by the Imperium under Thane to finish off his forces.{{Fn|10}}
