	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.

	Bishops serve the Cardinals directly, serving on their war council and leading the Undertakers. Bishops are trained in tactics and leadership, for that is their primary role. The Cardinals decide what should be done, and where, but it is the Bishops who ultimately determine how. Bishops lead many rituals, invoking litanies before (and during) battle, leading hymns of victory, and leading the rites on certain commemoration days, such as the anniversary of Golgothos' discovery. As a secondary duty, Bishops are charged with watching over the Librarians of their company. Each Bishop guards his Librarians personally, watching them for any signs of sorcery. If the Librarians falter, they are stripped of their humanity and turned into Servo-skulls, who serve the Bishops as a shameful reminder of their failures.

	Aboard the battle barge Catafalque, Erebus called out to the other Legions for aid, but only the [[War_Scribes#Knights_Draconian\|Knights Draconian]], a War Scribes successor chapter, responded. The Entombed and their ally set out for the Mortis system, a chain of agri-worlds used to feed the most distant backwaters of mankind. When they arrived, They found Mortis I and II already turned. Warp-spawned tentacles reached out from the surface all the way into space, tearing apart the support ships of the Imperial Guard.

	The Sixth Legion were among the last to be brought up to Legion Strength, and did not enter the Great Crusade until after it had already cleared the Sol System. ~~Though it was explained away as~~ a ~~lack of appropriate recruits~~, ~~the old tales still lingered and~~ it ~~was said~~ that ~~Hektor and Pallas Eugenesis deliberately left~~ the Sixth ~~so it would not get the chance to gain glory during the last few battles to pacify Terra~~. The Legion’s first actions ~~would be~~ in the crowded Hive Cities of the systems closest to Solar and the tunnels of ancient Cthonia. The Legion’s mastery of tight conflict was swiftly asserted in victory after victory, and ~~yet~~ the ~~Sixth did not claim any great honors from these~~. ~~Other legions took the credit for these conquests while~~ the Sixth quietly moved on from warzone to warzone, deployed wherever and whenever they were needed. The Legion became known as the ‘Hive Breakers’ for they were especially efficient at fighting in the tight confines of a Hive City, from the spires to the underhive.		The Sixth Legion were among the last to be brought up to Legion Strength, and did not enter the Great Crusade until after it had already cleared the Sol System. Later accounts often accuse Hektor or [[Pallas Eugenesis]] of a plot, but it is more likely that the Sixth was expanded as quickly as its gene-seed could be replicated. The Legion’s first actions were in the crowded Hive Cities of the systems closest to Solar and the tunnels of ancient Cthonia. The Legion’s mastery of tight conflict was swiftly asserted in victory after victory, but the Remembrancers assigned to the Sixth's fleets found few opportunities to frame their victories and often grew dispirited at having to associate with the grim Astartes. Undisturbed by their lack of laurels, the Sixth quietly moved on from warzone to warzone, deployed wherever and whenever they were needed. The Legion became known as the ‘Hive Breakers’ for they were especially efficient at fighting in the tight confines of a Hive City, from the spires to the underhive.

	The Legion’s constant service in Zone Mortalis Operations soon drew attention from the Mechanicum, who were working on programs for improved Space Marine Armor, both Infantry and Heavy Armor. Field Tests of Mk III ‘Iron’ armor was largely done by the Sixth Legion, and they also received the first batches of Tactical Dreadnought Armor as it was rolled out. Their field tests of it were critical for the refinement and mass production of Cataphractii Pattern Armor, which would come to define the Legion as it gathered many thousands of those suits, enough to outfit hundreds of Terminator Squads. A close bond with the ~~Mechanicum came~~ during this period as the Sixth were called several times to support Mechanicum Forces exploring ancient collapsed hives and underground complexes in their search for lost technology. This bond helped supply the Legion as it could not rely on any of the other Legions for support.

Their field tests of it were critical for the refinement and mass production of Cataphractii Pattern Armor, which would come to define the Legion as it gathered many thousands of those suits, enough to outfit hundreds of Terminator Squads. A close bond with the tech priests of [[Mars (Hektor Heresy)\|Mars]] developed during this period as the Sixth were called several times to support Mechanicum Forces exploring ancient collapsed hives and underground complexes in their search for lost technology. This bond helped supply the Legion as it could not rely on any of the other Legions for support.

	As Primarch after Primarch was found, the Sixth continued to go without. Their dark reputation only grew. Rumors spread that their Primarch was dead, and that had cursed the Legion even before it had left Terra. None of this was helped by the fatalistic attitude of the Legion, their indifference to casualties and their habit of collecting the Skulls of their own dead and hanging them from their Dreadnoughts so they could ‘see the battle through’. This leavening of superstition led to reports delivered to the War Council from those Imperial Commanders fighting alongside them, warning of a Legion that was slipping away from the Imperial Truth. Solar Auxilia and Imperial Army Forces operating alongside the Sixth suffered higher-than-average casualty rates, being forced to move fast and keep up with the Entombed as they pushed through the enemy.

	The Entombed were the grim face of the Great Crusade. Hampered by a genetic flaw which made their gene-seed difficult to replicate outside of a full battle brother, the Legion grew slowly but compensated for its numerical weakness with heavy equipment, especially the Dreadnought and Tactical Dreadnought (Terminator). Savaged by treachery and foul bio-science during the Heresy and driven to the brink of madness, the Entombed still found their way to the Emperor's side and made tremendous sacrifices during the Siege of Terra. ~~Together with their successors,~~ the heirs of Golgothos are stationed ~~around~~ the Eye of Terror, ~~ever-ready~~ to fight the Traitors once more.

	The ~~History~~ of the Space Marines began with the Sacred Band, twenty squads of ten Astartes each. These warriors were deployed in battle to test their worth and prove the rightness of the Emperor's Space Marine Project. The Sixth squad of the Sacred Band was recruited from the lightless depths and twisted mazes underneath the tortured soil of Terra. Pale, feral, and near-blind in the light at first, the youths drawn from beneath proved to be hardy and resourceful warriors. To show that his old life was at an end and a new one begun, each of the ten members of the Sixth Squad disposed of his birth name when he became a Battle Brother of the Emperor's Space Marines. The Sergeant of the Sixth Squad called himself Vinea, and his brothers were Tormenta, Sambuca, Petrary, Onger, Ballstra, Ludgar, Hellepoli, Springalt and Couillard.

	Their innate skills in close-quarters fighting were immediately put to good use. The Sixth Squad was deployed on point in operations in the dark depths of the Merican Hives. After several operations, the Squad took armored plates taken from destroyed enemy vehicles and turned them into shields, fitted with apertures for their Bolters. Using these makeshift shields, they led push after push against the desperate defenders of the last few boltholes in the underbelly of both Noveau Yourk and San Angeles Hives, bookending the conquest of Merica. This innovation led to the development of specialist Breacher Squads among all the Legiones Astartes.		Their innate skills in close-quarters fighting were immediately put to good use.
