With their homeworld destroyed, Luther and his Dark Angels wield the power of the Warp as a weapon in their search for the Unforgiven, that they might finally convince them of their error in supporting the Lion during the schism. Though they were able to defeat the Lion on his vengeful return to Caliban, the Emperor's psychic intervention to save those Unforgiven Dark Angels who had remained loyal to Jonson reduced the planet to an uninhabitable ruin. With the advent of the Dornian Heresy, Luther took the Astartes under his command to Istvaan V, and publically allied the legion with the rebellion, assuring that the Dark Angels would forever be seen as traitors by the Imperium. Unable to stand by and allow the Imperium to destroy their homeworld of Caliban, the Dark Angels were forced to rebel against the Emperor, and even their own uncaring Primarch, Lion El'Jonson. The scars of the latter battles of the Great Crusade would change them, as would their reunification with their Primarch Lion El'Jonson and the introduction of fresh blood from his adopted world of Caliban.
Unyielding, technologically capable, ruthless and insular, the Dark Angels at the time of the Dornian Heresy were a powerful and highly independent Legion, used to operating on its own to conduct large scale campaigns and Compliance actions. They were the first of the Emperor's Space Marine Legions, and in their earliest incarnation fought as the personal army of the Master of Humanity in the dawning years of the Great Crusade and in the shadowed campaigns that preceded it. The Dark Angels are a formerly Loyalist First Founding Space Marine Legion. Black, Silver & White " And the angels of darkness descended upon pinions of fire and light.the great and terrible dark angels." - Ancient Calibanite Fable
