Editing History of the Green Men (section)

===Showdown in the Eye of Terror===
Fairly soon the Green Men found a suitable world for their base of operations, an arid world of dust creeks and carnivorous dunes populated by wheel-worshipping warthog men. The Space Marines mercilessly wiped out all the existing life on the planetoid, after which their rebuilt its ecosystem in accordance with their twisted tastes, turning it into a maze of deadly jungles stalked by quadrupedal carnivorous plants . It was from this world renamed Arboria by its new masters that Nikephoros Galen started planning his next move. Galen's plan was as simple as it was maniacally delusional: to kill Johannes Vrach, seize his geneseed and rebuild his hopelessly tainted Legion from scratch as the Green Men, just as the Life Bringers of old would rebuild dead worlds poisoned to the core by pollution. And then, even a second shot for Terra could be a possibility - this time without the incompetence of Chaos-tainted fools that doomed Hektor's endeavour. Already completely insane, Galen had come to see himself as a benevolent god of life and his Green Men as the natural next step of evolution for Mankind that needed to be forced upon the unappreciative fools clinging to their outdated flesh. The combination of flora and fauna was clearly superior to both of them in the eyes of Galen, so it had to replace them entirely, no matter if it essentially meant wiping out all of the existing life in the Galaxy.

But first, Vrach had to be dealt with. Anticipating his impending arrival in the Eye of Terror, Galen started preparing a welcome celebration for his father. First of all, the Green Men attacked and enslaved two minor Traitor warbands stationed in the vicinity of their new homeworld - the Ghastly Talons, a coven of the Black Augurs, and the Ifrits, one of the multitude of shards left from the Sons of Fire. Those two were assigned the suicidal task of tying down the main forces of the Life Bringers, while the Green Men would flank them and deliver a decisive blow. Those who would manage to survive this bloodbath were promised a modification into Green Men. Galen's forces mercilessly raided the armouries of their thrall warbands, leaving them with only the barebones equipment that would prevent them from being wiped out before their usefulness is exhausted. 

Just as the rogue Genetor calculated, the Life Bearers' fleet soon entered the Eye of Terror, visibly battered by their encounters with the Loyalists on the way there. Still, it dwarfed what little forces Galen had managed to gather, but the Genetor was primarily betting on his strategic skills and the superior equipment of his men to win the battle. Just as Valetudinarium approached the trap laid out for it, the Ghastly Talons' naval forces emerged from an asteroid field nearby, their terrified pilots kept at a gunpoint by their Green Men overseers. Meanwhile, the Ifrits' flotilla left the dark side of a planet next to the asteroid field and started ramming the Life Bringers' fleet in a display of insane recklessness so typical of the successors of Sons of Fire. As the forces of Vrach were busy repelling this unexpected assault, the Green Men fleet approached them from the back and took them by surprise in a swift boarding action. 

As his men infiltrated Valetudinarium, Galen considered the battle won. Unfortunately for him, this was just the beginning. He wasn't the only one who was preparing for this rendezvous: his bitter rival Wilmut Sachs had also been busy devising ways to get rid of the Green Men once and for all. Plagues and toxins he preferred to work with had no effect on the insidious plantmen, so the Hight Genetor came up with something new - a herbicide. Just as the Green Men began taking over Vrach's flagship, Sachs ordered to pour his herbicide into the ventilation system. Harmless for his Plague Marines, it had a devastating effect on Galen's mutants: their verdant bodies started withering, leaking and falling apart when they were enveloped by clouds of the toxic gas. Those few left alive made a quick escape to their ships and headed back to Arboria to lick their wounds. To their luck, the Life Bringers were far too exhausted to pursue their treacherous brethren.
