→History: Further rewrite from source. Passages indicating Varlak's death aren't drawn from a lore source and are contradicted by later sources, so I've removed them from the article.
[[Inquisitor]] [[Marcus]] was on the planet at the time and, realising the severity of the situation, sounded the alarm to the [[Adeptus Terra]]. This prompted rapid response from the [[Space Wolves]], [[Dark Angels]], [[Blood Angels]], and [[Ultramarines]], who made planetfall days later.{{Fn|1b}}
Though powerful, Varlak was erratic and unhinged. Not expecting such a sudden response from the Imperium, Varlak became crazed, constantly suspecting treachery and summarily executing his followers.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1d}} In the face of Imperial forces bearing down on his command bunker, Varlak sought to flee. His retreat thwarted by the destruction of his personal craft, Varlak desperately sought alternate means of escape.{{Fn|1c}}
