However The Order's rule of Galaspar ended when they refused assimilation into the [[Imperium]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and fired on Imperial [[Explorator]] vessels that attempted to make contact. In the ensuing [[Conquest of Galaspar]], the [[Death Guard]], led personally by [[Mortarion]], obliterated The Order and killed every last one of its defenders, wreaking mass destruction and terror. Since then, the devastated world's population has obeyed the [[Adeptus Terra]], replacing one tyrannical government with another.{{Fn|1}}
During the [[Horus Heresy]], though, Galaspar was seized by the forces of [[Warmaster]] [[Horus]]' forces. The [[Raven Guard]]'s [[Primarch]], [[Corax]], later sent a battlegroup of his [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]]'s [[Deliverers]] and their [[Therion Cohort]] [[Imperial Army]] allies to seize the worldfrom the [[Traitor]]s. This group was composed of forces led by the [[Centurion (Rank)|Centurion]] [[Beyar Kedron]] and the Cohort commanders who had criticized Corax, for the losses they suffered during the [[Breaking of the Perfect Fortress]].{{Fn|2}}
