Editing Macragge (section)

==Overview==
===Pre-Great Crusade===
Before the Great Crusade, Macragge was one of humankind's lost colonies, and the primary form of government was a pair of officials known as Consuls. Macragge was a bleak but not inhospitable world, part of a decayed star empire of ages past that Mankind had inhabited for many centuries since the time of the [[Dark Age of Technology]]. Its industries had survived the [[Age of Strife]] relatively intact and its people had retained an authoritarian but cohesive society. It had remarkably preserved a number of antiquated short-range warp-capable craft which could be utilized for near-stellar transit - conditions permitting - and its people had continued to build sub-light spacecraft even during the time of the most intense warp storms. This had allowed the people of Macragge to maintain contact with several neighbouring human-settled star systems, despite the storms' fury, and so retain a tenuous link to the rest of human space and the knowledge that it was not alone in the darkness. Then [[Roboute Guilliman|Baby G]] crash-landed on the world and promptly turned it and the surrounding system into a flourishing civilization.
===Great Crusade and Horus Heresy===
During the [[Great Crusade]], Macragge, like the rest of Ultramar's worlds, contributed a steady stream of material and new recruits to the Ultramarines, which allowed them to become the largest of all the Space Marine Legions. However, when [[Horus Heresy|Horus threw a galaxy-sized temper tantrum]], the [[Word Bearers]] Traitor Legion constructed an enormous warship, [[Abyss-class Super Battleship|the Furious Abyss,]] and set it on a course for Macragge, while another force ambushed the Ultramarines Legion on Calth. Macragge was spared destruction due to the <s>heroic actions</s> [[Plot Armor]] of a mixed force of Loyalist Marines, led by Lysimachus Cestus.

Later, Macragge became the capital of [[Imperium Secundus]], Guilliman's <s>[[Heresy|semi-heretical]]</s> TOTALY LOYAL CONTINGENCY PLAN. After [[Konrad Curze]] turned Macragge into [[/v/|GTA: San Andreas with Riot cheats on,]] a curfew was put into effect. Ultimately [[Lion El'Jonson]], Lord Protector of Imperium Secundus, got fed up with Kurze's [[Bullshit]] and promptly used the [[Dark Angels]] to institute Martial Law on Macragge and attacked the Illyrium region to try and root out the rebels, without Guilliman's approval. Papa Smurf understandably gained [[RAGE|a new shade of blue]] but overall, Macragge got off better than [[Caliban (Warhammer 40,000)|the Lion's own home.]]

===Hive Fleet Behemoth===

In 745.M41, Ultramar was invaded by the [[Tyranid]] [[Hive Fleet Behemoth]], the first [[Tyranid]] [[Hive Fleet]] encountered by the Imperium. During the final battle of the invasion, [[Marneus Calgar]] took a <s>daring risk</s> utterly pointless and counterproductive tactic to take the fight to the [[Hive Ship]] in space while leaving the Ultramarines First and Third Companies to garrison Macragge's polar fortresses. The strategy worked, and Behemoth was repulsed, but at great cost; the Ultramarines suffered horrific casualties, and the First Company was completely wiped out.

===13th Black Crusade===

Around the time of the 13th Black Crusade, Macragge was again invaded, this time by the [[Black Legion]] and its allies under the direct command of [[Abaddon the Despoiler|Failbaddon the Harmless]]. Failbaddon hoped to prevent an Imperial-Eldar expedition from resurrecting [[Roboute Guilliman]]. As expected from the Chaos Warmaster. [[FAIL|He Failed. Spectacularly.]] Rawbutt Girlyman was revived through the action of [[Plot Armor]] and [[Anime]] and proceeded to whoop some Chaos ass.

===Plague Wars===

Shortly after the rebirth of Roboute Guilliman, [[Mortarion]] himself wanted a piece of the action and appeared at the forefront of a massive [[Nurgle]] invasion of Ultramar known as the [[Plague Wars]]. Though Macragge has not been attacked by a concentrated invasion, it nonetheless has been the site of probing attacks, often by [[Plague Drones]] and [[Cultist|Cultists.]] Mutinies by Ultramar Auxilia erupted in the Illyrium region of Macragge. [[Derp|''Again''.]] [[Lulz|The traitor cadets were actually so incompetent that after the mutiny was crushed, Calgar had the instructors severely punished for their incompetence and unfucked the training post haste.]] The attacks were unsuccessful, but still drained the resources and morale of Ultramar's defenders. These attacks continued until Guilliman arrived and seized the initiative.
