Editing Rangdan Xenocides (section)

==Outcome==

After the end of the Xenocides, the Dark Angels and the Space Wolves had both been greatly reduced in number, meaning that the progress of the Crusade now rested on the Luna Wolves, Ultramarines, and the other Legions that hadn't been sucked into the meat grinder. The I and VI Legions also became objects of suspicion and fear among ordinary Imperial folk, thanks to the sheer ugliness of the bio-pogroms they'd undertaken (given many of the Rangdan forces were human populations bound with neural shackles). The [[Ultramarines]] officially became the largest legion, a status they would maintain throughout the remainder of the Great Crusade and into the [[Horus Heresy]].

The conflict with the Rangdan also spurred the creation of newer and more terrifying weapons of war for the Imperium, most notably the dreaded Psi-Titans of the Ordo Sinister, which were directly inspired by the Rangdan's own superheavy and Titan analogues, the Macrobeests and Osseiovores. The Dark Angels would similarly take lessons from this dreadful war, forming the Order of the Broken Claw (one of many orders within their enigmatic Hekatonystka) to remember the tactics they learned from the xenocides as well as guarding their many treasures.
