After the planet was conquered by the Imperium, a garrison consisting only of a single ten-Marine squadron was left in charge of a rebellious population of 130 million people. Garrison duties like these became all too typical of the Iron Warriors' deployment during the later years of the Crusade, and caused the Legion to become spread thin, and contributed to the building resentment of the Legion and its primarch, Perturabo.[1]
