Hektor had won the allegiance of half the Space Marine Legions, with their vast networks of influence and throngs of sworn mortal soldiers. He also benefited from rebellion in the Solar System itself, as the Autopostates of Mars rose up against Fabricator-General [[Kalkas Tygian]] during the civil war. Adding to his material advantage were divisions within the Loyalist camp caused by the absence of the Emperor. For much of the conflict, the Loyal Legions were defined more by opposition to Hektor than common cause, and even as the war drew to its end they were still split between forces under the leadership of Alexandri of Rosskar based at the Solar System and a great armada following Roman Albrecht from the Segmentum Pacificus.

Despite these advantages, Hektor was unable to overcome the defenders of the Imperium and was forced to risk his campaign on a desperate gamble. Though he was finally slain by the Emperor, the Warmaster's rebellion gravely wounded the Imperium and her master, forever altering the destiny of mankind.
