The Volemar Gamma Campaign was a series of battles fought by the First Legion and Second Legion for control of a fortress-asteroid in the Sol System. Volemar Gamma was infested with foul Orks and the fight to eliminate them from the asteroid's many tunnels required the specialist skills of both Legions. Although the campaign took place close to Terra, it is still considered part of the Great Crusade.
Background
The presence of Orks in the Solar System was one of the most unsavory relics of the Age of Strife. Although it is unclear exactly when Volemar Gamma became infested by greenskins, fragmentary records on Terra and the much more substantial archives of Mars indicate that Orkish incursions were an uncommon but hardly unheard-of addition to the misery of Old Night. Following the Unity, the Emperor of Mankind set his Space Marines to purging the foul Orks from humanity's birth system while Rogue Traders began scouting nearby systems. Due to the lack of information on Volemar Gamma, Hektor Cincinnatus was given overall command of the operation and granted considerable latitude in selecting his forces.
Unsurprisingly, this meant that the core of the Imperial force was drawn from the First Legion. Hektor had initially considered taking a contingent of the Third Legion, but due to the well-known problems with that gene-line he settled on the fresh Second Legion. Second was, at any rate, eager to prove themselves after their long hiatus from the battlefield. As the planned operation would require much of the nascent Imperium's voidships, Lord Commander Gufarnus Altmakar of the Imperial Army himself would command the naval squadron.
