===Reforms of Sebastian Thor===
After the fall of Vandire, [[Sebastian Thor]] was elected (some would say forcefully) to Ecclesiarch. He initiated a series of reforms and created the Synod Ministra on Ophelia VII. It was to act as a secondary governing body far from Terra. It would disseminate the laws and actions of the Holy Synod on Terra but also provide a defence against other forces, or even a single Ecclesiarch, attempting to gain control of the Ministorum. Also, the Astra Ministra, administrators of the Ministorum functionaries aboard ships of the Imperium is based on Ophelia VII and makes up the Synod Ministra.{{Cite This}}

However the Tyrant himself escaped justice.{{Fn|6}} In the aftermath of the attack Guilliman stationed Black Templars under [[Marshal]] [[Armond Montfort]] on the world. However they were drawn away due to the [[Battle of San Leor|events on San Leor]], and the Tyrant of Blueflame returned on [[Ophelia IV]] to begin a Warp ritual to allow for another mass attack on Ophelia VII, this time with [[Alpha Legion]] and [[Cultist]] allies. However they were again defeated in the [[Battle of the Ophelia System]].{{Fn|7}} Ophelia VII's next threat came not from the Tyrant of Blueflame, but rather the [[Night Lords]] warlord [[Kol Rakhul]], but he was foiled by [[Abbess]] [[Morvenn Vahl]].{{Fn|8}}
