Call of the Lion
The Lion and the First Legion's Wars Beyond Caliban
The First Legion’s campaigns: the Lion, Thramas, Imperium Secundus and the Crusade of Vengeance. Corswain’s detached force goes to Terra and the Astronomican; this does not place the Lion at the Siege. Caliban’s internal schism has a separate strand.
