Tukeren Na'shor[1a] was among the first thousands of Nocturne Aspirants that became Space Marines of the Salamanders Legions during the Great Crusade. Afterwards, they began training under the guidance of their Primarch, Vulkan, to become a battle ready army[1b] and were divided into seven divisions, which were named after their Homeworld's seven great cities[1a]. When Vulkan determined their training was complete, and they were ready to take part in the Great Crusade[1b], Na'shor was chosen to become the Praetor and Lord Protector of the Epithemus division[1a]. However, despite Vulkan's decision, he had promised to remain on Nocturne with his army until the Emperor contacted him and gave the Primarch a war to take part in. When the Emperor finally did, Vulkan's army was tasked with aiding their unmet Terran Battle-Brothers of the XVIII Legion, which had been operating independently under the command of Legion Master Cassian Vaughn. The XVIII had been fighting a campaign to save the Imperial Systems of the Taras Division from an Ork invasion, but despite their best efforts they had been unable to stop the Xenos. They had been pushed back to the Taras System and were now at risk of being completely destroyed. Vulkan was determined to prevent that from happening[1b] and the Salamanders reached the Taras System just as the XVIII were making a final stand on the volcanic Death World Antaeum[1a]. The Primarch then led the Salamanders to Antaeum's surface and the now-surrounded Orks were quickly killed. Afterwards, the two halves of the Legion met for the first time and became one, but it is unknown if Na'shor survived to see this happen.[1c]
