Khan now began the long process of conquering the rest of the planet. He gave cities two choices: surrender or be wiped out. Most surrendered, but many were destroyed, utterly wiped from the face of the planet. Eventually they came to the palace of Palatine, where he demanded the head of Palatine on a spike. His request was obliged and he adorned his tent with his greatest conquest. In twenty years he had conquered the largest empire in the world's history. He now had the problems of ruling the empire, not something he had originally wanted. His people had no wish to rule these new lands, only to carry on living in the old ways. The people dispersed back to a tribal existence and Khan ruled over them all with his generals by his side.{{Fn|1}}
Six months later, the [[Emperor of Mankind|Emperor]] arrived and Khan knew at once that this man could fulfill fulfil his dream to unite all of the stars above them in one mighty empire. In front of all of his generals, he dropped to one knee and pledged his service to the Emperor. He was given command of the fifth legion of Space Marines. Upon being reunited with his gene-sons of the V Legion, known by this point as the '''Star Hunters''', Jaghatai sought to assimilate the new mostly [[Terran]] troops into Chogorian culture and tactics while his new recruits from his homeworld were being planned. The Legion's tactics were completely overhauled to emphasize little but pure speed and maneuver. After the battle against the [[Nephilim]] on [[Hoadh]], the Star Hunters became the '''White Scars'''.{{Fn|9}}
Jaghatai Khan gained a fierce reputation during the [[Great Crusade]] and particularly the [[Ullanor Crusade]], but mostly kept to himself save friendships with [[Horus]] and [[Magnus the Red]].{{Fn|4a}} Conversely, he became detested by Primarchs such as [[Fulgrim]].{{Fn|6b}}
