===Post-Heresy=== After the defeat of Hector during the Siege of Terra, the Gorgers started a feuding in the planetary systems around the Solar System. Numerous Legions came to rid the outskirts of Terra from their assaults. As they have done during much of the Heresy the Gorgers erected numerous Gorges, abyssal holes in the ground filled with the corpses of the strong, those were used in the most blasphemous of rituals and opened the way to Reality for numerous demons of the ruinous powers. Despite their demonic aides and the frenzy the Gorgers, the cooperation and righteous fury of the united loyalist legions were too much for Nathanog and his marines to withstand. In a moment of lucidity, the Primarch managed to regroup and boost the resolve of his legion with the promise of One Last Hunt the likes of which they have always craved. A Hunt where they would concentrate all their offensive power in one quick brutal charge across the stars. On this day many of the Gorgers decided to join their Primarch in this bloody Last Hunt. Some were denied this honor however, as Nathanog spoke to his trusted Second Captain Atmir. The Legion would not die, but live on. With a weighted down mind, a portion of the fleet with ten thousand Marines and the entirety of the Legion's geneseed pushed off in the direction of the other Legions which had fled from Sol. The fight that ensued was bloody for both forces. The Gorgers fought like a beast cornered on all fronts, showing even more ferocity than usual. Nathanog himself was at the very forefront of the fight, enduring an impossible amount of wounds and shots. Several ships of the [[Silver Cataphracts]] became overwhelmed, as the Legion had never been the masters at melee combat and were facing the epitome of close combat perfection. The [[Steel Marshals]] and [[Void Angels]] launched themselves into the breach, only clogging up the astral battle lines with ships as the Gorgers set about boarding each one and unleashing their horrible might. But still the Loyalists eventually stopped their momentum, the Gorgers started to suffer loss after loss. Nathanog became to focus excessively on the relentless assault of the Loyalists. He broke their spearheads, he shattered their phalanxes, he crushed their assaults. He stood with a shard of a powersword stuck in his knee, plasma burns and volkite marks all over his armor and skin. His face was half-burned by a flamer. He was almost feral in these final moments, but the teachings of his homeworld and that of Nath echoed in his mind honing in his primal instincts with decisive insight. Leading an attack personally on the last few Gorger Terminators surrounding Nathanog, [[Roman Albrecht]] strode forth with his own honor guard. The battle was tough, but Nathanog would be an equal match for Albrecht normally but his wounds limited him. The Steel Marshal's Primarch saw a gap in Nathanog's defense and took advantage. With a careful strike of his weapon, he laid low his brother sending his lifeless body shambling down a high terrace into a catwalk below. The loss of their Primarch sent the legion into a surprising realization of their impeding demise. In the hastiest of retreats, the few remaining Gorgers still alive left the battle. In their disarray they couldn't retrieve the corpse of their Primarch, a mistake that would forever haunt the legion and its descendants in the coming millennia. After the Primarch's death the Brotherhoods scattered, sometimes breaking down into their constituent packs. It would not be until Atmir united the largest of these to join him in his attack in the Imperium would the Legion see some form of cohesion. Still, many Gorgers live out their lives as simple mercenaries working for prey and supplies. ====The Legions War==== The alliance to Hektor had been uneasy at best during the Legion's history, as many desired to kill the Sons of Fire who were not even attempting to hide their desire to burn everything to ash anymore. The wise leadership of their Primarch and that of the Warmaster kept their tempers in check, but without them now many wars were fought between the two Legions in the form of skirmishes and invasions via warbands. At every point in the history of the Legions War, there were always at least one battle going on between Sons of Fire and Gorgers. It was Master Hunter Atmir who was able to quench their hatred, letting the Sons of Fire regroup while allowing his own warbands to recoup. This peace was tentative and did not last long, but it is worth noting as it allowed both Legions to thrive for a time before hostilities continued. Some wonder if was not for the First Black Crusade to bind these Legions towards a common goal, they might have fought one another to oblivion.
