	*'''The Lion's Corridor'''. Despite the delay caused by the war with Hathor, the Steel Marshals would have quickly returned to Terra to add their siegecraft knowledge to the defenders if it were not for the actions of [[Cromwald Walgrun]] and [[Lions Rampant\|his sons]]. Traitors within the Imperial Army forces picked up along their path to the Segmentum Solar relayed vital information along unseen pathways across the warring Imperium. News of their quick arrival reached the Warmaster in time to have him act. The Lions Rampant, having finished a long campaign with the Crusaders, broke off into two forces with separate orders. Both passed around the pocket of Loyalists still holding out in the Segmentum. One of these large segments immediately sped towards the Steel Marshal's fleet. The battles on worlds and in the void were intense, with the raiding forces of the maddened Lions not pushing back or even stopping the Marshals' advance, but making them bleed for every step taken. It was dubbed by the Marines' as the the '''Lion's Corridor''' for how the Traitor Legion would pull them along deeper and deeper into their waiting claws. The Lions suffered little losses, and would sacrifice territory when needed to avoid protracted conflicts, but Roman could feel the despair of his forces. Though they moved ever closer to Terra, his Legion would be a shadow of itself both in strength and morale if he pressed onward. Again, the Primarch chose a gamble, rather than the conventional or expected means of campaign. To move forward, he went back.		*'''The Lion's Corridor'''.

	*'''The Liberation of Rosskar''' The world of [[Rosskar]] was known throughout the Segmentum Pacificus as the heart of the fiefdom established by the Silver Cataphracts to fuel their conquests. The core worlds of that realm had been set ablaze by a swarm of gene-crafted horrors unleashed by [[Pallas Eugenesis]]. Despite the stubborn resistance of Imperial Army and Militia forces, by the time of the Marshals' arrival nearly all was lost ~~by then~~. The world was a ruin, with only a fraction of its once-teeming population surviving. But more than that would be gone had it not been for Roman's timely arrival. In a time when the loyalties of every man were in question, the ~~relieving~~ of [[Alexandri of Rosskar\|Alexandri]]'s homeworld assured the Regent that the Marshals under Roman Albrecht's command had not foresaken their old values. In addition, the Lord-Knight would be joined by [[Onyx the Indestructible]] and [[Gaspard Lumey]] at Rosskar, and from there the three Primarchs launched their strike towards the heart of the Empire.		*'''The Liberation of Rosskar''' The world of [[Rosskar]] was known throughout the Segmentum Pacificus as the heart of the fiefdom established by the Silver Cataphracts to fuel their conquests.

	*'''The Forgotten Crusade''' The [[Void Angels\|Fifth Legion]]'s dramatic arrival at Sol overshadows the campaign from Rosskar, but Gaspard Lumey's great leap through the Void was only possible because the Steel Marshals and [[Stone Men]] launched themselves at Hektor's cordon with exceptional violence. Seemingly without strategy, Roman Albrecht and Onyx the Indestructible led their legions in an all-out attack at every available Traitor outpost. The destruction they wrought sucked warships, then picket ships and auxiliary naval assets, into the conflict and greatly depleted the Traitor's voidcraft guarding the approach from Segmentum Pacificus. The loss of these watch ships allowed the Void Angels to break warp unnoticed in nominally Traitor-controlled systems and broke up a long perilous journey into several more managable legs.		*'''The Forgotten Crusade''' The [[Void Angels\|Fifth Legion]]'s dramatic arrival at Sol overshadows the campaign from Rosskar, but Gaspard Lumey's great leap through the Void was only possible because the Steel Marshals and [[Stone Men]] launched themselves at Hektor's cordon with exceptional violence.

	When [[Arelex Orannis]] and [[Gaspard Lumey]] unveiled their plan to sunder the Space Marine Legions, Lutze Seeger simply refused to issue a reply. Under direct questioning from Lumey, the leader of the Tenth Legion ~~simply~~ replied that a decision of such magnitude could only be made by the Primarch and that the First Lord would have to wait for Roman Albrecht to respond. Furious but restrained by the centuries-old brotherhood between his own Legion and the Steel Marshals, Gaspard Lumey gave Seeger one solar year to find Albrecht, or to make a decision on the Primarch's behalf. There was no refusing such an ultimatum, nor any option of idleness. For a single year, the Steel Marshals made every effort possible - and some that had previously been seen as impossible - to uncover their lost sire, but in vain. Lutze Seeger resigned his post and the last of the great Space Marine Legions was dissolved.

	*'''The Hathor Truce'''. The Hathor campaign was still in its infancy when word of the betrayal at Olmer came to the ears of the Marshals. Only two worlds, both feral and unimportant to the small empire had been fully conquered. Already the defenses of the Hathorites were being arrayed against the Legion to make them bleed for each step. The Seer-Empress understood that the Imperium would be hesitant to send too many forces at once against her. The Domain was difficult to attack, with Navigators suffering greatly for each day in the warpspace to travel across its borders. The Witches of the Domain used dark sorceries akin to that of the Psykers beholden by the Ruinous Powers to hasten journeys between worlds. Any attempting strike at a border world would have the other fleets arriving to throw off the Imperials within no time, and a multi-pronged assault would only result in a disjointed and scattered assault force. Roman Albrecht understood the necessity to turn his Legion back towards Terra as soon as possible, but would not risk the system-spanning Empire of Hathor to harass him as he retreated. The Steel Marshals chose then to drive forward, skipping several planets and risking their supply lines be cut off entirely to reach the heart of the Empire itself. Oasis. The meager fleet in defense of the world was crushed swiftly, with its two moons being bombarded afterwards. Roman's aim was not to achieve total victory, but make an arrangement with the Hathorites before their border fleets, which had been set to stop the Steel Marshals, arrived. If they did not, he would be caught out alone from any aid, resulting in enormous losses. It worked. Empress Hathor chose that rather than see the seat of their mighty realm be utterly destroyed, would accept the offer being broadcasted on every frequency of her world. The Steel Marshals would leave one thousand of their Marines behind, including twelve million of their assigned Imperial Army Auxilia to garrison, defend, and ensure the loyalty of Hathor. In return, Empress Hathor would remain in power, their worlds would not pay tithe for at least fifty years, and their culture would remain without any outside interference such as the Imperial Truth. These terms did not sit well with most in Roman's Expedition Fleet, but all understood the need. [[Hektor Cincinnatus\|Hektor]], the Warmaster himself, had betrayed the Emperor, and thrown his banner in rebellion. Over a million marines were marching towards Sol, with only a handful of Legions, most battered, remaining to stop his advance. The Marshals would be needed there, and not at the fringes of the Pacificus.		*'''The Hathor Truce'''.

There was no refusing such an ultimatum, nor any option of idleness. For a single year, the Steel Marshals made every effort possible - and some that had previously been seen as impossible - to uncover their lost sire, but in vain. Lutze Seeger resigned his post and the last of the great Space Marine Legions was dissolved.

	*'''The Lion's Corridor'''. Despite the delay caused by the war with Hathor, the Steel Marshals would have quickly returned to Terra to add their siegecraft knowledge to the defenders if it were not for the actions of [[Cromwald Walgrun]] and [[Lions Rampant\|his sons]]. Traitors within the Imperial Army forces picked up along their path to the Segmentum Solar relayed vital information along unseen pathways across the warring Imperium. News of their quick arrival reached the Warmaster in time to have him act. The Lions Rampant, having finished a long campaign with the Crusaders, broke off into two forces with separate orders. Both passed around the pocket of Loyalists still holding out in the Segmentum. One of these large segments immediately sped towards the Steel Marshal's fleet. The battles on worlds and in the void were intense, with the raiding forces of the maddened Lions not pushing back or even stopping the Marshals' advance, but making them bleed for every step taken. It was dubbed by the Marines' as the the '''Lion's Corridor''' for how the Traitor Legion would pull them along deeper and deeper into their waiting claws. The Lions suffered little losses, and would sacrifice territory when needed to avoid protracted conflicts, but Roman could feel the despair of his forces. Though they moved ever closer to Terra, his Legion would be a shadow of itself both in strength and morale if he pressed onward. Again, the Primarch chose a gamble, rather than the conventional or expected means of campaign. To move forward, he went back.		*'''The Lion's Corridor'''.

	*'''The Liberation of Rosskar''' The world of [[Rosskar]] was known throughout the Segmentum Pacificus as the heart of the fiefdom established by the Silver Cataphracts to fuel their conquests. The core worlds of that realm had been set ablaze by a swarm of gene-crafted horrors unleashed by [[Pallas Eugenesis]]. Despite the stubborn resistance of Imperial Army and Militia forces, by the time of the Marshals' arrival nearly all was lost ~~by then~~. The world was a ruin, with only a fraction of its once-teeming population surviving. But more than that would be gone had it not been for Roman's timely arrival. In a time when the loyalties of every man were in question, the ~~relieving~~ of [[Alexandri of Rosskar\|Alexandri]]'s homeworld assured the Regent that the Marshals under Roman Albrecht's command had not foresaken their old values. In addition, the Lord-Knight would be joined by [[Onyx the Indestructible]] and [[Gaspard Lumey]] at Rosskar, and from there the three Primarchs launched their strike towards the heart of the Empire.		*'''The Liberation of Rosskar''' The world of [[Rosskar]] was known throughout the Segmentum Pacificus as the heart of the fiefdom established by the Silver Cataphracts to fuel their conquests.

	*'''The Forgotten Crusade''' The [[Void Angels\|Fifth Legion]]'s dramatic arrival at Sol overshadows the campaign from Rosskar, but Gaspard Lumey's great leap through the Void was only possible because the Steel Marshals and [[Stone Men]] launched themselves at Hektor's cordon with exceptional violence. Seemingly without strategy, Roman Albrecht and Onyx the Indestructible led their legions in an all-out attack at every available Traitor outpost. The destruction they wrought sucked warships, then picket ships and auxiliary naval assets, into the conflict and greatly depleted the Traitor's voidcraft guarding the approach from Segmentum Pacificus. The loss of these watch ships allowed the Void Angels to break warp unnoticed in nominally Traitor-controlled systems and broke up a long perilous journey into several more managable legs.		*'''The Forgotten Crusade''' The [[Void Angels\|Fifth Legion]]'s dramatic arrival at Sol overshadows the campaign from Rosskar, but Gaspard Lumey's great leap through the Void was only possible because the Steel Marshals and [[Stone Men]] launched themselves at Hektor's cordon with exceptional violence.
