Editing Minotaurs (section)

==Current Events==
During later M41 - early M42, the [[Death Guard]] directly besieged their space-borne [[Fortress-Monastery]] and poisoned their gene stocks beyond repair, forcing the Minotaurs to race towards [[Terra]] to restock their gene-vaults.

At least, that was the ''official'' reason, and as noted by [[Valerian]] in ''The Regent's Shadow'', no one was fooled by this, especially since the Daedalos Krata was ''right there''. The real reason for their return would be made clear very soon, however.

Once on Terra, the Chapter was tasked to work alongside the [[Imperial Fists]], [[Sisters of Silence]], and [[Adeptus Custodes]] in quelling a rebellion growing on Terra itself. During the course of the investigations they had to teach the Imperial Fists what they think of someone trying to steal their glory. i.e. the Imperial Fists tried to investigate a cultist kill-site cleared by the Minotaurs, which is to say, the Imperial Fists were trying to steal the Minotaur's intel and get to the cultists first, and in response the Minotaurs killed the two Imperial Fists sent to investigate (after the Minotaurs warned them, and were promptly ignored by the Imperial Fists). An Imperial Fist got salty at this and tried to blow up at a Minotaur back at HQ. Said Imperial Fist got the shit beaten out of him by the Minotaur and made a fuckawful mess of the nice lady's house they were fighting in (that's actually not a joke). Their brawl continued until a Custodian interposed himself between the two, warning the Minotaur to calm the fuck down unless he wanted to try his luck with a Talon of the Emperor. The Minotaur, could tell that he was outclassed, so turned off his battle rage like one would flip a switch. Also seeing that the Imperial Fist needed the Custodes to protect him, the Minotaur chuckled at the Imperial Fist's weakness and left (admittedly with a limp, but he left the Imperial Fist far worse off). The grumpy (and badly beaten up) Imperial Fist didn't even bother to thank the Custodian. [[Dick]].

Eventually the HQ of the cultists was discovered, and the Minotaurs were the first ones there. Launching a '''SIEGE''' of the enemy's HQ while the Imperial Fists and Custodes were just then managing to figure out where it was. It turns out the rebellions were caused by the former members of the High Lords who had since been exiled by the now revived Guilliman. At first it seemed that the Minotaurs had sided with the rebellious former High Lords, with Moloc himself standing by the former Master of the Administatium, Haemotalion. However, with the actual leaders of the rebellion sniffed out, assassins from the Vindicare Temple killed them all except for the Grandmaster of the Assassinorum (who wasn't actually a traitor, instead having infiltrated the traitors as part of the plan to find/kill them) and Moloc (who had "conveniently" left the room just before the kill order was given). In very short order, all hell broke loose. With no one being aware of who was on whose side, the Minotaurs came into direct combat with a small contingent of Custodes and Sisters of Silence. They killed a few Sisters of Silence, and even one of the Custodes (poor bastard was mobbed by multiple Minotaurs and got folded like laundry), but they suffered '''far''' greater losses themselves (as if they cared). Eventually though, a lot more Minotaurs showed up and started surrounding the Custodes and the Sisters, who had formed a perimeter around the Grandmaster of the Assassinorum to protect him (as the Minotaurs weren't told he wasn't actually one of the traitors). Moloc himself was about to 1v1 Custodes Shield-Captain Valerian (with Moloc making the Custodes feel as close to afraid as a Custodes could possibly be. Sort of. Bear in mind that in combat, the Custodes size up their adversaries and determine how to most efficiently kill them in milliseconds, effectively killing them before they've even crossed blades. In this case however, Valerian admitted he saw no flaw in Moloc's battle form, armour, or anything to exploit, and thus had 0 idea how to beat him before combat was begun, meaning he'd have to wing it, which Valerian REALLY didn't like.), before the actual, non-deposed Master of the Administratum (Violeta Roskavler, who had been appointed by Guilliman and was actually competent at her job), teleported in and (whispering to Moloc) ordered the Minotaurs to stand down. And they did. Moloc and his boys then just turned and left without pause or complaint. Turns out that this whole mess was actually [[Just As Planned]] by Guilliman, Valoris, and Roskavler. The Minotaurs later departed for Guilliman's [[Indomitus Crusade]] without any form of issues.

During the Indomitus Crusade, the Minotaurs put on their good ass-stomping boots to deal with some Thousand Sons who had taken over a space station.
