====Ultramar====

As the Heresy unfolded, the Word Bearer ship ''[[Furious Abyss]]'' set off for [[Ultramar]] right after its construction was completed on the [[Jupiter|Jovian]] moon of [[Thule (Moon)|Thule]]. The ''Furious Abyss's'' first kill was the [[Ultramarines]] ship ''Fist of Macragge'' as it was heading in for repairs in the [[Vangelis]] space port. The [[astropath]]s of the ''Fist of Macragge'' managed to send out a warning, ultimately received as a very powerful psychic scream at the Vangelis space port. Seeing visions of Macragge and the impending terror, Captain [[Lysimachus Cestus|Cestus]], Fleet Commander of the Ultramarines, quickly gathered a force of ships at the main Vangelis hub of [[Coralis]]. He managed to find seven ships: the ''[[Wrathful (Saturnine Fleet)|Wrathful]]'' (which Cestus commandeered and commanded from) and her escorts, the ''[[Fearless]]'', the ''[[Ferox (Escort)|Ferox]]'', the ''[[Ferocious]]'', the ''[[Fireblade (Escort)|Fireblade]]'', along with the [[Thousand Sons]] ship ''[[Waning Moon]]''. Captain [[Vorlov]] of the ship ''[[Boundless]]'' also requested to join Captain Cestus, and was accepted. The fleet pursued the ''Furious Abyss'' and battled with it, suffering heavy casualties (all ships but the ''Wrathful'' and ''Fireblade'' were destroyed), ending when the ''Furious Abyss'' entered the [[warp]] to continue its journey to Ultramar. The ''Wrathful'' and ''Fireblade'' made the transition as well, but the ''Furious Abyss'' deployed a psionic mine which disturbed the [[Warp]], causing the ''Fireblade's'' [[Warp Drive#Gellar Field|Gellar Field]] to fail, and the ship was torn apart by the forces of the Immaterium.{{Fn|5c}}
