Formed in the wake of the [[Second Rangdan Xenocide]], this small Order held the only full and complete account of the conflict as well as information on the [[Rangda]]. This detailed catalog was gathered by [[Firewing]] operators and [[Dreadwing]] units and the Orders warriors were trained to stand against the worst Rangdan bio-forms in combat. During the bloody [[Third Rangdan Xenocide]] they won much renowned at combating the Rangdan warmasters, but after the war and with the apparent annihilation of the [[Xenos]] they dwindled in number. By the time of the Horus Heresy only a few members of the order remained, maintaing a single station on the ruined world of [[Advex-Mors]] where the Rangda first appeared.{{Fn|1}}
During the [[Horus Heresy]], some of the Order's [[Knights Cenobium]] were garrisoned at [[Advex-Mors]]. When the [[Sons of Horus]] launched a [[Treachery at Advex-Mors|surprise attack]] on the garrison, the Knights reaped a fearful tally from the [[Traitor]]s, before they were slain.{{Fn|2}}
