Victorium Crusade
The Victorium Crusade was an Imperial Crusade waged sometime after the creation of the Great Rift.[1]
Originally commanded by Lord Commander Ustrin, the Crusade collapsed and heretic forces broke through Imperial lines on a system-wide scale. Their advance was spearheaded by the Vostokh 7th, a Traitor Guard Regiment under the treacherous Marshal Greigor who shattered every foe sent against him. At last, on the rocky plains of Pallus, Greigor met his match when a force of Adeptus Custodes under Shield-Captain Aadilus arrived.[1]
The Custodes assault was led by Vertus Preators, their missiles annihilating the lead vehicles of the traitor spearhead. The speed of their Jetbikes allowed the Praetors to easily avoid anti-aircraft fire from the traitors, and they viciously annihilated Greigor's army while losing less than a third of their number. Greigor's Shadowsword was the last vehicle destroyed.[1]
