Changes

Under Fulgrim's leadership, teams of engineers traveled far from their factory-fortress, reclaiming and repairing many of the far-flung mining outposts. As minerals poured back into Callax, Fulgrim supervised the construction of more sophisticated and energy efficient machinery. As recycling efficiency grew to the point where Chemos was producing a surplus for the first time in years, Fulgrim began to foster a re-emergence of art and culture, aspects of humanity sacrificed in the struggle for survival. The other settlements allied themselves with Callax and, fifty years after arriving on Chemos, Fulgrim was its sole leader.{{Fn|1}} Fulgrim battled many foes during this time, most notably the sword-dancers of Sulpha.{{Fn|12a}} He also engaged in many political marriages to secure the loyalty of other factory-cities, marrying several times but quickly outliving his spouses. According to Fulgrim, he loved some of these spouses at first but after a while stopped caring.{{Fn|12b}}

It was not long after this that the planet's isolation came to an end. From the grey sky came a flight of dropships, armoured and battle-scarred, each bearing the same symbol, a two-headed eagle. On hearing of this, some fragment of memory stirred in Fulgrim. Chemos had no formal army, but the dropships' landing zone had been surrounded by the Caretakers, the police-soldiers responsible for maintaining order in the factory-fortresses. Fulgrim sent word to the Caretakers to stand down and allow the visitors from above into Callax.{{Cite This}}
