The Horus Heresy truly begins with the Ullanor Crusade, where Horus and his loyal legions are tasked with bringing the last remnants of humanity under the Emperor's rule. However, Horus's disillusionment boils over, and he leads half of the Space Marine Legions in a rebellion against the Emperor. This act of treachery splits the Imperium and plunges the galaxy into civil war. Key events, such as the Dropsite Massacre on the planet Isstvan V, where Horus and his traitor legions turn on their loyalist counterparts, epitomize the brutality and shock of the conflict.
