War of the False Primarch
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The War of the False Primarch was a dark and bloody episode of the Imperium's history, now largely lost to myth and purged from all records, that plunged the Segmentum Pacificus into anarchy from 780.M33 to 860.M33.[1]
History
It began when a figure calling himself a Primarch appeared and started gathering Imperial forces to his side.[2] This led to conflict with the Imperium and the war was finally ended, when the High Lords of Terra convened the Pentarchy of Blood. The group was composed of five loyal Chapters, who were tasked with destroying eleven others, who had been declared Traitoris Perdita for their actions during the war.[1] It is known one of the traitor Chapters during the war was the Jade Talons.[2]
