Pandorax Campaign
The Pandorax Campaign is a 41st Millennium conflict in which Dark Angels forces and Black Legion warbands contested the world of Pandorax. It belongs to the long struggle between the Imperium and the traitor Legions that survived the Horus Heresy, and it is best understood as one episode in the wider pattern of Chaos incursions against Imperial holdings in the Age of the Imperium. The Dark Angels, first-founding Space Marines of the Ninth Legion lineage, and the Black Legion, the largest and most enduring of the renegade hosts, have opposed one another on many fronts; Pandorax is recorded as one place where that enmity became open war. Accounts of the campaign centre on control of Pandorax itself, which serves as the map anchor for the event on Orrery. The Dark Angels are recorded as the Imperial force committed to the world, while Black Legion warbands are recorded as their principal adversaries. Fuller particulars, such as the exact year, the individual commanders and the sequence of engagements, are not firmly established in the material reflected on this site, and accounts differ in emphasis. This page therefore describes the campaign at the level that can be stated with confidence and does not supply detail beyond it. The campaign is placed within the 41st Millennium and sits alongside other Dark Angels and Black Legion engagements on the Orrery timeline; the linked Dark Angels and Black Legion pages give the wider context of each party. Its present consequences are best read through those factions rather than through the world alone: for the Dark Angels it forms part of a continuing record of war against Chaos, and for the Black Legion it is another contested theatre in their long campaign against the Imperium. Readers wishing to place the event in the galaxy at large can follow the map and timeline links from Pandorax to its contemporaries and neighbouring conflicts.
