	The '''Battle of Calth''' was one of the major battles of the Horus Heresy and the reason for most of the current hatred between the [[Word Bearers]] and Ultramarines.

	Guilliman led an attack on Zetsun Verid, where he and Kor Phaeron confronted each other. The latter managed to wound the Ultramarines primarch with his athame and tried to corrupt him as Erebus had done to Horus, but Guilliman told him to fuck off with that Chaos nonsense and ripped one of his hearts out. The Word Bearer, being a little bitch, teleported away with his main forces, allowing the Ultramarines to retake the platform and purge the scrapcode. Guilliman ordered the ''Macragge's Honour'' to pursue the Word Bearers' flagship, the ''Infidus Imperator''. The latter was destroyed after a vicious void battle.

	With the Word Bearers' fleet smashed, the orbital weapons grid back in loyalist hands, and lethal levels of radiation now bombarding Calth's surface, Guilliman ordered the evacuation of as many civilians and military personnel as possible. Those who could not be evacuated in time retreated into Calth's underground arcologies. The surviving Word Bearers on the surface had the same idea, and soon the two sides were engaging in a brutal series of close-quarters battles in the Calth tunnel networks. This would become known as the Underworld War.

The Mark of Calth is still running and will continue to run until the Ultras finally hunt down and kill the last Word Bearer. So the timer that started when Guilliman ordered the Ultramarines to return fire continues to run, hour by hour, even 10,000 years later, through every warp storm, rebellion, and incursion the XIII have faced, recording every action they have taken against any Word Bearer for 100 centuries. It is likely the most comprehensive list of casualties amongst any record in the galaxy.

	The good thing that came out of this Battle is that the Ultrasmurfs got their butts handed to them, so if you [[Dark Eldar\|sadistically enjoy]] the deaths of [[Grimdark\|hundreds of thousands]] of smurfs, then you will love this battle.

	The Word Bearers were not terribly subtle about their shady intentions, but Guilliman and his Legion were unprepared for a treacherous attack from a presumed friendly force. The first action Erebus's forces took was to attack a maintenance vessel, the ''Campanile'', and take it over without the Ultramarines noticing. The Word Bearers began a ritual that would implant Chaos-infected scrapcode into the Calth orbital defense network while they deployed to the planet's surface under the cover of beginning coordination with the Ultramarines.

The Word Bearers began a ritual that would implant Chaos-infected scrapcode into the Calth orbital defense network while they deployed to the planet's surface under the cover of beginning coordination with the Ultramarines.

	Being the efficient pragmatists that they were, the Ultramarines had a system for post-battle analysis. One of the key components of this was the "Mark" system, where all forces would record a certain time for the official start of the battle (Mark Zero) and record actions based on that initial time point. Twenty minutes prior to Mark Zero of the Battle of Calth, the ''Campanile'', moving at a significant percentage of lightspeed, crashed into the Calth orbital docks. Tens of thousands died in the resulting cascade of explosions, and dozens of ships were destroyed or crippled. Seconds later, the Word Bearers fleet opened fire on the Ultramarines. After Guilliman's urgent plea for a ceasefire was ignored and Lorgar openly declared his traitorous intentions, he gave the order to fire back, officially beginning the battle.

	On the ground, tens of thousands of Ultramarines and Imperial Army soldiers were cut down before they realized what was happening. The Word Bearers and their auxiliary units swept across the planet, exterminating everyone in their path, whether civilian or military. The loyalists who weren't killed in the initial attack struggled to rally in the face of this tremendous backstab. Their efforts were rendered nearly impossible by the loss of the planetary vox network and Mechanicum noosphere, which cut them off from the fleet and each other. Just eleven hours into the battle, the Ultramarine commanders estimated that over 100,000 legionaries were dead, leaving them severely outnumbered by the Word Bearers.

Just eleven hours into the battle, the Ultramarine commanders estimated that over 100,000 legionaries were dead, leaving them severely outnumbered by the Word Bearers.

	Nevertheless, several large battle groups led by a mix of Ultramarines, Army officers, and skitarii were able to begin fighting back against the Word Bearers. Their efforts eventually centered around the governor's palace at Leptius Numinus, where Mechanicum magos Meer Edv Tawren was able to activate an antique data-engine that let them reestablish vox communications. They also discovered the existence of a killcode created by Calth's ranking Mechanicum server before his death in the initial attack that would allow them to clear the scrapcode from the noosphere and retake control of the orbital weapons grid. Led by Captains [[Remus Ventanus]] and Lyros Sydance, the Ultramarines stormed a civilian spaceport in the city of Lanshear that possessed a data-engine capable of operating the weapons grid, while a small group remained at Leptius Numinus to coordinate the loyalist forces for as long as possible. The Word Bearers, having noticed what was going on, eventually overran Leptius Numinus and counterattacked Lanshear in overwhelming numbers. The Ultramarines were on the verge of being destroyed when reinforcements showed up from all over the planet, vectored there by a junior magos who had remained behind at Leptius Numinus. The loyalists held the Word Bearers back long enough for Tawren to successfully deploy the killcode and seize control of the weapons grid. She immediately demolished the Word Bearers' forces on the ground and in orbit.

	Whilst all this was happening, [[Aeonid Thiel]], an Ultramarines sergeant who was under censure for planning and simulating Astartes vs. Astartes combat situations, went into action. He assembled a group of Ultramarines, Army troops, and lower-decks crew and armed them with weapons from Guilliman's personal collection, then led them to retake ''Macragge's Honour'' from the daemonic forces that Lorgar had summoned. They managed to clear most of the ship after about ten hours of vicious fighting, picking up more Space Marines and human crew along the way. Thiel eventually found Guilliman on the outside of the ship, still not wearing a helmet, killing Word Bearer boarding parties with his bare hands.

	While the Ultramarines were still in a bad spot, they had rallied and were fighting back with a ferocity that startled the Word Bearers. [[Kor Phaeron]] boarded the Zetsun Verid shipyard and used it to reactivate some of the orbital defense platforms. After trashing everything else he could hit in the Veridian system, Phaeron ordered the grid to begin firing into Calth's sun. Magos Tawren was able to stop him with the killcode, but not before lethal damage had been inflicted on the star, corrupting it so it would produce massive amounts of radiation.

	And piss him off it did. The Mark of Calth is still running and will continue to run until the Ultras finally hunt down and kill the last Word Bearer.
