'''Galatan''', a [[Space Marine]] of the [[Ultramarines]] [[Chapter|chapter]], took part in the [[Corinthian Crusade]], 698.[[M41]]. By this time he as was Ancient Galatan, Bearer of the [[Banner of Macragge]]. He briefly dropped the banner when his arm was chopped off by Warboss Skargor. While Warboss Skargor was distracted trying to break the banner with his [[Power Claw]], Ancient Galatan drove his [[Power Sword]] through the back of Skargor's head, killing him and finally breaking the spirit of the defence. Galatan died of his wound from this encounter.
Note: It is believed that this battle served as the inspiration for the Dawn of War intro movie due to the many similarities that the two share.{{Cite Here}}
