Black Templar History - Part 2 - Conquest of the Galaxy
The great Emperors work was not to be undone. Genetic records were stored in his vaults deep beneath Terra. From these records of his Primarchs he created the Space Marines. Mustered into ten thousand strong legions of the First Founding. They were true warriors with immense strength and a willpower that was unbreakable, their loyalty to the Emperor unflinching.
The Emperor would now set out from Terra with his Space Marine legions to conquer the Galaxy. It was then that these Space Marines first referred to their mission as the Great Crusade. One after the other worlds would fall from the grasp of their oppressor. The alien filth would be annihilated as epic war followed the next in what was an onslaught. The Warp tainted planets were cleansed and all in the name of the Emperor.
Slowly, one by one and during these Great Crusades, the Space Marines were reunited with their Primarchs. The various planets in which they had been raised (and dominated) became the new homeworlds for those legions. With the Primarchs as their new leaders, their names stamped on each battlefield with mighty force. Gods in the making and history was written.
Nothing now could stand in the way of the Emperor and his mighty generals and their legions. His dream of a united Galaxy was near his grasp. But, dreams are shattered and non more so than this. In the most vile act of treachery, his dream turned nightmare. One that is still lived out today.
