==The Prince of Terra==
{{See also|Golgothos}}
Golgothos, Primarch of the Sixth Legion, was cast upon the Ork-infested planet that he came to name ''Sepulchra''. This world had once been inhabited by an advanced human civilisation, but they had been destroyed in the chaos of Old Night. The Primarch grew up running from the Orks, then turned to waging a private war against them. His liberation from this nightmare by the Emperor was a major turn in the Sixth Legion's fortunes. The Primarch greatly impressed the Emperor's court with his physical presence and quick mind, for though he came to Terra largely ignorant of the civilized arts of war he learned very quickly. Pallas Eugenesis' gene-wrights took fresh genetic samples from the Primarch and were finally able to replicate several batches of new gene-seed, though there was no ready supply of recruits.

Golgothos was undaunted. Unlike those of his brothers who had taken a period of time to rebuild their Legion in a new image, the Sixth's sire led his men straight into battle. In a series of exemplary campaigns in the Segmentum Obscurus, the Sixth Legion razed Ork worlds that had begun to threaten Imperial borders. In so doing, they established contact with a handful of embattled human worlds whose fierce warriors had resisted the Xenos for centuries. Men from these planets were quickly screened for their genetic quality and began to be taken to a new Fortress on Sepulchra where they could hone their skills and undergo the difficult transformation into Space Marines. The Legion also benefited from stocks of ancient technology on Golgothos' homeworld, especially a vast store of walkers suitable for conversion into Dreadnought war machines. The ranks of fallen warriors still fighting under Golgothos' leadership swelled and in their honour the Sixth became known as ''The Endless''.

As the second century of the Great Crusade rolled on, the Sixth reversed their decline and greatly expanded their ranks despite constant and difficult campaigning. Golgothos refocused his Legion on the task of destroying the Xenos strongholds threatening the Imperium. Orks were the main object of his wrath but the Sixth fought many other aliens, counting the destruction of the Eldar Craftworld Kaelor among their victories. At the beginning of the 31st Millenium, the Endless and their master were tasked with the greatest challenge of the Great Crusade: the destruction of the Orkish Empire of Ullanor.
