Due to the developments at [[Prospero]] the rebellion would be further strengthened by [[Magnus the Red]] and his Legion, the [[Thousand Sons]], servants of [[Tzeentch]]. Horus had nine Space Marine Legions and had all but destroyed three loyal ones. The way to [[Terra]] was wide open, and the [[Battle of Terra]] would follow.{{Cite this}}
During a later date the [[Second Pacification of Isstvan V]] happened, in which the [[Desert Lions]] [[Chapter]], accompanied by an attached cohort of [[Legio Cybernetica]] [[Robots|robots]], attacked on the planet's defence forts. The chapter was preceded by the cohort, which had been programmed to advance on the defences in an apparently mindless fashion. Easily destroyed by the defenders, they succeeded in mapping out the defenders' fire-plans and blind spots. When the Desert Lions launched their attack only seven Marines were lost. All surviving robots of the cohort were inducted into the chapter as honourary members as a mark of respect.{{Fn|7}}
