Editing LeonidasAndCollin (section)

===Epilogue===

In the following weeks, the Imperials received reinforcements and mounted a counter attack that drove the Tau off the planet.
The Planetary Governor was summarily executed for dealing with Xenos and bringing war down upon his people.

Brother Fenrir of the Space Wolves personally escorted the remains of his battle-brother, Wulfgang, back to Fenris so that the proper rites could be administered by the Wolf Priests before burial.

The unnamed Black Shield was given a marble memorial stone in the plaza just behind the Eastern Gate, along with a second, smaller marble memorial dedicated to the lone Arbiter who later became somewhat of a saint to the people of the city.

Fenrir returned to his service in the Deathwatch, and never saw home again.

Angelion's Blood Angel returned to Baal after his service time was up, and went on to become a Captain, and eventually joined the Honour Guard, before his death many years later.

The original Angelion (Novamarine) was sent home, where his Gene seed was used to create a battle brother who bore Angelion's name, and went on to commit countless acts of valour before he too signed up with the Deathwatch.

The remains of the Black Templar, Karel, were dug out from the ruined Hab Block, and were picked up by a Black Templar ship passing through the system.

Leonidas was severely wounded, and underwent bionic enhancement in both legs and an arm, and returned to active duty within the Dark Angels, earning the rank of Devastator Sergeant soon after.
He never forgot the looks on the xenos' faces when he dumped a primed explosive in their vehicle.

Collin's remains were never recovered.
The Ultramarines sent a communication saying that they trusted the planetary officials to give him a good send-off.
It is speculated that he was burnt along with the Tau corpses.
