The Aegisine Crusade was a Crusade waged by Imperial forces in M39.[1]

Directed at the rebel Drift Worlds of the Mandragora Sector, it was a long and bitter war. The Black Templars were instrumental in ending the conflict by employing the 'Iron Cyclone' drop strike assault pattern, launching a number of Drop Pods from Strike Cruisers in low orbit to deploy Dreadnoughts against key ground targets. Despite taking withering ground fire, the manoeuvre proved decisive and ended a conflict that had bogged down Imperial forces for decades.[1]

Order of Battle

Imperial forces involved in the Aegisine Crusade included Space Marines of the Black Templars, Fire Angels, Marauders and Red Seraphs Chapters.[1]
