Editing The Cleansing of the Mongoid Sector (section)

==Background==

{{Main|The Pulmni War}}

At the close of the Pulmni war, the then Brothers of Death were rapidly swept into a greater campaign distant from the region. With the poorly understood Ork menace scattered and nearly eradicated, and the Bronchus stars rebuilt into a proud Imperial system, the XIIth turned their attention to other threats and the rest of long devastated Korpys was left behind. While the sector's value was without question, the demands of the crusade would consume the legion's focus until the time of their Primarch's recovery. As Vrach permitted himself to become familiar with the history of those men under him, he would find the incomplete nature of the Korpys campaign a prime proving ground.

The massive and central Cord system was the most logical choice, with Rogue traders reporting a number of simple and fertile worlds that were disorganized, primitive, and ripe for taking. Johannes announced his aims to the assembled legion shortly after their great re-branding, with the promise that the Life Bringers would learn their true purpose here in the shadow of their hardest won crusade. He was met with rousing approval from the assembled warriors and the legion set about their new task. Most of the resistance that the Cordian worlds could muster was swiftly put down, but the discovery of the devastated remains of the 8th chapter group near the edge of the system, once led by Vanheim Paracel of the legion's Sacred Band and lost at the close of the Pulmn Campaign, would lead to one of the most trying campaigns in the Life Bringer's history.
