|Combatant2 =Gene-Cults of Luna[[Selenar]]

Being the first battle the Legiones Astartes fought outside of Terran skies, it was launched while the [[Unification Wars]] on Earth itself were still coming to a conclusion. The forces of the Emperor had already made great headway on Luna's surface, though the forces of the stubborn Cardinal [[Tang]] still held a number of fortress zones and enclaves. Tang himself commanded the [[Selenar]] gene-cults of Luna, those who believed that human nature was fractal, fractured, and transcendent. To them, the true nature of mankind was visible in the flesh and mind of the individual, but that each person was an echo of archetypes that persisted throughout human existence. Each cult clung to a different set of archetypes: some represented as anthropomorphic figures, some as numbers, and some simply as symbols. These fanatical cults were nonetheless capable gene-forgers and geneticists who operated out of massive subterranean laboratories the Emperor coveted for His own plan to mass produce His Adeptus Astartes.{{Fn|1}}
