Guilliman viewed the Destroyers as an unpleasant necessity, keeping them off the front lines where possible and expressing an intent to restructure the dedicated Destroyer companies of the Nemesis.{{Fn|5a}} During the campaign against the [[ork]]s of the [[Thoas|Thoas Empire]], he kept the Destroyer companies in the void, hunting the orks on the barren moon of [[Agrigentum V]]. In the wake of [[Praetor (Rank)|Chapter Master]] [[Machon Phalaris|Phalaris's]] death, Guilliman appointed [[Eleon Iasus]], [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] of the [[166th Company (Ultramarines Legion)|166th Company]], as his replacement as part of an effort to integrate Nemesis into the wider culture of the Legion.{{Fn|5b}} The Destroyer companies were eventually deployed from reserve in the final stages of the [[Battle of Thoas]].{{Fn|5c}}
The Nemesis was only partially mustered at [[Calth]] as some of its companies were engaged alongside elements of the [[7th Chapter (Ultramarines Legion)|7th Chapter]] reducing the [[Fra'al]] crucible worlds along the galactic rim.{{Fn|4b}} Those companies able to make the journey to Calth were mustered in the highlands of [[Thracius]] in order to distance them from population centres.{{Fn|4c}} The Chapter proved crucial in ultimately turning the tide for the Ultramarines when the [[Word Bearers]] revealed their betrayal. However, the Battle of Calth and the following [[Underground War]] greatly impacted many Nemesis members on a mental level, turning the already dour chapter even more stoic and grim.{{Fn|8}}
