As the Great Rift's cataclysmic birth following the fall of Cadia disrupted interstellar travel and communications and the Noctis Aeterna closed like a shroud upon the galaxy, Guilliman moved swiftly to stabilise the faltering Imperium.To this end they had tempted the naive Magnus the Red with a vision intended to warn the Emperor of the very plot they had initiated against the Master of Mankind, the betrayal of the Imperium by Horus. Working on the basis of theoretical situations and practical solutions, the Ultramarines fought with exceptional efficiency. Both primarchs fought without heeding their warriors, their godlike movements an inconceivable blur to the Space Marines fighting around them. Gallan and his fellow conspirators were seized, the ring leaders publicly executed and the rest sentenced to hard labour rebuilding the city they had ruined, stone by stone, by hand. Magnus had sent his psychic warning by means of a powerful sorcerous ritual with the aid of the Thousand Sons' other sorcerers and this sending had wreaked havoc upon the protective psychic shielding surrounding the Emperor's fragile Webway construct.

There, he entered the inner sanctum of the Imperial Palace and met with his father the Emperor for the first time in more than ten thousand standard years.The Orks of Ullanor represented the largest concentration of greenskins ever defeated by the military forces of the Imperium of Man before the Third War for Armageddon began during the late 41st Millennium. The XIII Legion's cruisers and battleships ran abeam of the enemy fleet for repeated exchange of broadsides, offering targets too big and powerful to ignore, while the rest of the Ultramarines fleet used calculated Lance strikes from safer range.
