Changes

However the Cults were only able to produce heavily deformed and mutated Legionnaires{{Fn|1a}}, who became mindless due to the pain of their existence. Some grew to have multiple eyes, limbs and even heads. More disturbingly, a few of the Ur-legionaries developed facial features that led them to greatly resemble the [[Primarchs]]{{Fn|1b}}. After repeated failures, the Selenar Cults decided in time, to abandon the Ur-legionaries experiment. All{{Fn|1a}} but 10 of the failed Legionaries{{Fn|1b}} were killed and the gene-labs secretly located beneath [[Luna]]'s [[Herodotus Omega]] dome, were sealed{{Fn|1a}}. Hundreds of years later, though, during the [[Horus Heresy]], the dying [[Gene-witch]] [[Ta'lab Vita-37]] freed the remaining Ur-legionaries as the [[Battle of Terra]] began. She did so, in order to kill a [[Sons of Horus]] [[Justaerin]] squadron, led by [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Trastevere]], which had been sent by [[Abaddon]] to secure the [[Sangprimus Portum|Magna Mater]] relic, that Vita-37 had been charged with defending. Though malformed, the Ur-legionaries were larger and stronger than the [[Terminator]] clad Justaerins and thanks to their [[Black Carapace]], they were able to withstand multiple [[bolt]] rounds before dying. Such was the rage filled Ur-legionaries' strength, that they were able to easily tear apart the Traitors' power armour, as if it was made of paper. While the Justaerins' training and weaponry ultimately prevailed, only Trastevere and two of his squadron remained alive after the last of the Ur-legionaries fell dead. Thanks to Vita-37 and the Ur-legionaries' attack, however, a group of Loyalist [[Shattered Legions|Shattered Legionaries]] led by the [[Iron Hand]] [[Cadmus Tyro]]{{Fn|1b}}, were able to to escape from the Traitors with the Magna Mater.{{Fn|1c}}
