{{Main|Destruction of Caliban}}
The seeds of the Fallen have were planted during the [[Great Crusade]]. During the campaign against the [[Sarosh]], enemy forces managed to sneak a nuclear warhead aboard the ''[[Invincible Reason]]'', flagship of [[Lion El'Jonson]], [[Primarch]] of the [[Dark Angels]]. [[Luther]], 2nd in command of the Legion, discovered the plot but for a time his jealousy of the Lion prevented him from stopping it. In the end, however, he saved the Lion's life, but somehow his primarch discovered his hesitation. Luther and his forces were forced to return to [[Caliban]] in the aftermath, ostensibly for recruitment and administrative purposes but many felt it was akin to banishment. Luther and The Lion had another falling out after the [[Zaramund Campaign]] when Luther left Caliban to fight alongside [[Horus]] in the [[Zaramund Campaign]].{{Fn|13}}
