Black Crusades of Abaddon the Despoiler | 1st - 2nd - 3rd - 4th - 5th - 6th - 7th - 8th - 9th - 10th - 11th - 12th - 13th |
The First Black Crusade occurred around the year 781.M31 and was to be the first in a long line of attacks by the forces of Chaos from within the Eye of Terror.
The attack, like most others, was led by Abaddon the Despoiler at the head of various of the traitor Chaos Space Marine legions. The Imperium at this time had yet to build the vast defences on Cadia and the naval port of Belis Corona, and the invasion stormed across thousands of worlds in a mighty push to force the Emperor to bow before the forces of Chaos. The invasion itself was more of a blunt sword action than a wickedly sharp blade, which most of the other Black Crusades would be. It seemed that little could stop the oncoming of Chaos as world after world was burnt.
While the forces of Chaos assaulted the galaxy, the Imperium sent forth its warriors, the Imperial Guard, Adeptus Mechanicus and Space Marines, who marched together and pushed Abaddon back. The distance which the Crusade penetrated the Imperium forced the Emperor to respond by building defences on Cadia and a vast naval port at Belis Corona.
During this Black Crusade, Abaddon lead his forces to Uralan where he laid claim to his great sword Drach'nyen.
