His forces then served with distinction in the The Nimbosa Crusade (993.M41) fighting the Tau off of the Imperium's eastern worlds, specifically the planet of Nimbosa and the destruction of a Tau garrison. They found themselves at the core of the fighting during the Barbarosa Crusade (998.M41) fighting Orks that had fled the world of Armageddon and Chaos troops at one of the Black Templars sacred Temples. Recently, they helped run off forces of Abaddon the Despoiler during the 13th Black Crusade (999.M41).
