Years later, the Volscani Cataphracts were selected to assemble at [[Kasr Tyrok]] on [[Cadia]] as part of a general muster to prepare the planet for the 13th Black Crusade.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|2a}} At their welcoming ceremony, however, the Volscani stormed out of their landing ships bearing the signs of Chaos. They Under [[General]] [[Klief]]{{fn|4}}, they massacred the [[Cadian Interior Guard]]'s General Staff at the [[Battle of Tyrok Fields]]. Sending the shocked Cadian defenders reeling and rampaging across the fields of Tyrok, the Volscani hordes were only stopped by a swift counteroffensive led by [[Lord Castellan]] [[Ursarkar E. Creed]]. Slowly overwhelmed by the attack, the suicidal Volscani present at Kasr Tyok fought to the death.{{Fn|1a}}
However, many regiments of Volscani Cataphracts were still active and continued to support the progressing 13th Black Crusade. When the fleet of [[Abaddon]] first entered the [[Cadian System]], Volscani Cataphract regiments landed on [[Solar Mariatus]] and overran parts of the planet to establish a forward base for the Chaos forces.{{Fn|1b}}
