===Post-Heresy===
The Lucifer Blacks became Regiments of the newly formed [[Imperial Guard]] after the Heresy. Acting as an elite praetorian guard on [[Terra]], the Lucifer Blacks provided security for the [[Imperial Palace]] and were frequently employed as bodyguards for the Terran nobility and [[High Lords]]. By mid-[[M32]], during the [[War of the Beast]], the Lucifer Black's overseer [[Segmentum Solar|Solar]]-[[General]] [[Sayitora]] had become a crony of [[Lord High Admiral]] [[Lansung]], which turned the Regiments into the ambitious Admiral's personal fighting force. They were treated like mercenaries, being distributed to Lansung's followers as a reward for favorsfavours.{{Fn|3}}
When [[Chapter Master]] [[Koorland]] announced he was replacing [[Udin Macht Udo]] as [[Lord Commander of the Imperium]], Udo rather farcically summoned his Lucifer Black bodyguards and demanded they disarm and remove the [[Space Marines]]. The unit's commander, out of reverence for the warrior who had successfully stormed the [[Attack Moon]] over Terra, instead bent his knee to Koorland, and the rest of his soldiers quickly followed suit.{{Fn|4}}
