Editing Luna (section)

===The First Pacification of Luna===
Eventually, Big E was looking towards the sky for his next conquest with his sights on Luna. His first attempts of diplomacy ended up with his emissaries returning as a screaming soup of molten metal and flesh, which he responded in kind with a 6 hour shit-kicking in from three deployed space marine legions.

[[Black Legion|Legion XVI]] lead the assault as acting vanguard in Terra-based rockets, landing on the moon's surface under fire from the gene cult's ground base defenses while sneaking in assault vehicles aided by aerial distractions from the [[Ultramarines|XIII]] and [[Imperial Fists|VII]] legions. Legion XVI descended underground into the subterranean complexes, reducing the half-machine genetic abominations lumbering about into mush with [[bolters]], obliterated resistance points in seconds, stormed the orbital defense center shutting everything down and leaving a hundred Selenar dead before they even realized they'd been compromised. The other two legions swept in, and the planet's forces crumbled in the face of superior firepower and systematic annihilation. The Selenar matriarch [[Heliosa-54]] offered surrender, begging the Emperor to "call off his wolves" (HA). Emps let the remaining Selenar gracious live, took the Magna Mater despite their best attempts to hide it, and utilized it as the source code to draft the genetic templates of the [[Primarchs]] and mass produce the now modern variant of the Space Marines with his fancy new gene labs. In remembrance of the battle, the Emperor dubbed Legion XVI as "the Imperial Wolves", and later named them "the Luna Wolves".

Towards the later expansion of the Great Crusade, Luna, along with the Selenar, fell out of prestige as the Imperium's premier space boy maker, and was subsequently handed over to the [[Sisters of Silence]], [[Departmento Munitorum]] and the [[Imperial Navy]] to develop into a giant dockyard and planetary defense station.
