added note upon Cadian Gate's destruction during 13th Black Crusade and possible destruction therefore of forces stationed there
The Honour Company has been active in the [[13th Black Crusade]], distinguishing itself early in the war. Their first action was a space-borne counterattack against [[Ezekyle Abaddon|Abaddon's]] fleet as the ''[[Planet Killer]]'' closed on the [[Agri-World]] of [[Lortox]]. The action bought the world's [[PDF]] time to evacuate a significant portion of the worlds population before the planet was blasted to pieces by the accursed [[Chaos]] starship. In the aftermath of the Lortox evacuations, the Honour Company was redeployed to [[Cadia]] and the surrounding [[system]]s, launching a series of operations to hinder Abaddon's forces as they invaded the [[Fortress World]]. These attacks have included boarding actions against Chaos [[Space Hulk]]s being used to transport hordes of [[The Lost and the Damned]]. In total, the Honour Company has disabled or destroyed 3 such Hulks, stranding an estimated 600,000 [[Cultist]]s, [[Mutant]]s, and [[Traitor Guard]] in the depths of space. A fourth hulk, codenamed ''[[Herald of Grief]]'', was destroyed in a boarding action which saw an estimated 200,000 Chaos renegades killed.{{Fn|1}}
==Notes==
As the Cadian Gate was destroyed during the [[13th Black Crusade]] upon the creation of the [[Great Rift]], the honour company stationed there may have been either destroyed or made defunct as a result. However, this has not been confirmed by any sources.
