Betrayal at Sant Ced

At the outset of the Heresy, before word of the great betrayal had reached the wider Imperium, Archmagos Agamon had gathered his full strength on the world of Sant Ced. The order to do so had come from the office of the Warmaster, bearing his official seal, and so could not be questioned. It read simply: “Prepare for compliance operation. Gather all available forces and proceed to muster point Sigma-0218; Rendezvous with IV & XVII Legiones Astartes task forces; Await further instructions”. A simple order… a massacre.

Betrayed and ambushed by their supposed allies in the Iron Warriors and Word Bearers Legions, losses were extreme. Those assets that survived the initial bombardment and ground assaults were only 'saved' by the unlikely intervention of greenskin marauders. Drawn to the system, perhaps by the perceived threat posed by the massing Imperial forces (or just as likely, by the promise of a good fight), the raiders immediately attacked loyalist and traitor alike. In the ensuing confusion, Archmagos Agamon was able to extract a small fraction of his forces from the surface and escape with whatever few warp-capable ships remained.

Early Heresy

Learning of the full scope of Horus’ rebellion, and despite his now limited combat-effective resources, Agamon was a savant of war and resolved to fight back against the traitors. He would need to tread carefully. Through blind luck, certain key vessels had survived destruction at Sant Ced and the fleet, such as it was, still possessed the means to produce basic combat elements such as Thralls and Thallax Cohorts. Furthermore, many of the Myrmidon cults within the Taghmata had survived, sacrificing their various automata, thralls and other tools of war to buy time for their own extraction.

Thus, rebuilding his strength would not be impossible but would take time and, more importantly, access to vast quantities of supplies - both biological and material. But how to obtain the necessary inputs with the galaxy now in turmoil? There was one place… not too distant, but sufficiently far from Sant Ced that the IV and XVII Legions might not think to follow him there...

Known Allies

Knight House Taranis

A small detachment of Scions from House Taranis are oathsworn to fight alongside Agamon and his hosts. Their loyalty has been proven many times during the Great Crusade and so seriously is this bond taken that the normally Martian red of their Knight armour is instead covered with the rust orange of Ryza.

Skitarii Legions of Forge World Ryza

Though not strictly a part of his Taghma, Agamon has some sway within the incredibly complex hierarchy of the Ryzan Mechanicum and so has often counted numerous Skitarii Maniples among his available forces.

Perhaps fortunately, no Knight or Skitarii forces were present with the fleet at the time of the ambush. With chaos reigning throughout the Imperium, it may however be difficult for Agamon to regroup with these allies.
