The '''Heimdel Crusade''' is a [[Black Templars]] [[Crusade]], that is led by [[Marshal (Black Templars)|Marshal]] [[Gheidon]]. It currently serves within [[Indomitus Crusade Fleet Secundus]]' [[Battle Group Erastus (Fleet Secundus)|Battle Group Erastus]].{{Fn|1}} 
==History==
When the muster for the [[Indomitus Crusade]] began, the Heimdel Crusade was among the [[Imperial]] forces that became part of [[Indomitus Crusade Fleet Secundus|Fleet Secundus]]. It was a welcome addition, as at that time Heimdel consisted of a [[Battle Barge]] and four [[Strike Cruisers]], which transported transporting no fewer than five [[Fighting Companies]] and over a hundred and fifty [[Battle Tank]]s. The [[Black Templars]]' open faith in the [[God-Emperor]] was also welcomed, as Fleet Secundus contained a large number of forces from the [[Sisters of Battle]] and zealous [[Astra Militarum]] [[Regiments]]. The Heimdel Crusade's mere presence was seen as a blessing from the Emperor to them and at least one squad was requested to join every single Battle Group within Fleet Secundus. [[Marshal (Black Templars)|Marshal]] Gheidon himself, personally assigned a full squad of his [[Sword Brethren]] to act as an [[Honour Guard]] to Secundus' [[Fleetmaster]], [[Rasmatin Olythaddeus Samil]]. The majority of the Marshal's Crusade, however, would serve together in [[Battle Group Erastus (Fleet Secundus)|Battle Group Erastus]].{{Fn|1}}
As [[Indomitus Crusade Fleet Secundus]] launched, its mission was to strike at the [[Eye of Terror]] itself. The [[Indomitus Crusade]]'s high command, thought that such a brazen challenge could not be ignored by the forces of [[Chaos]]. It was hoped, that Fleet Secundus would draw them away from other, more strategically crucial war zones. This would also allow [[Indomitus Crusade Fleet Primus|Fleets Primus]], [[Indomitus Crusade Fleet Tertius|Tertius]], [[Indomitus Crusade Fleet Quartus|Quartus]], [[Indomitus Crusade Fleet Quintus|Quintus]] and [[Indomitus Crusade Fleet Sextus|Sextus]], the opportunity to reclaim the [[Imperium Sanctus]].{{Fn|1}}
