The greenskins were decimated by the sudden aerial strike, allowing drop pods to land unopposed. Thunderhawk Gunships struck Ork lines before they could reach the capital of Omega II. Then, during the second month of fighting, reinforcements came. It would seem that the world would be overrun soon.

The Planetary Governor had sent requests for aid, but there had been no response so far. The planet was currently under sieged by an Ork WAAAAGH! The Planetary Defense Force and Imperial Guard were doing their best to hold the greenskin tide back, but the Orks' relentlessness and numbers were slowly overwhelming them. The first official sighting of the Zero Legion was on the Hive World Omega II in 123.M32. They were reported to wield weapons thought lost during the Horus Heresy and not seen since the Dark Age of Technology, earning the attention of the Adeptus Mechanicus. They aided Imperial forces, but they had remained silent and not communicative with other Imperial forces, only for strategic situations and speaking through their helmet vox-casters. The earliest recorded sighting of this mysterious chapter was during when Abaddon the Despoiler launched his second Black Crusade. The Zero Legion is clouded in mystery in relation of their origins, as with most things about the Chapter. Despite that, they appear to have a good relationship with the Adeptus Mechanicus, for their sharing of their technology with the Tech-Priest of Mars, and several Adeptus Astartes Chapters, as well as strong resolve of the defense of humanity. They have also shown a deep grudge against not just the Chaos Space Marines of the Traitor Legion, but also the Ecclesiarchy, viewing the former as a threat to mankind, and the latter as a disease. These Astartes have shown to possess high resistance to the warp, as well as strong regenerative healing factors, able to reattach severed limbs. How they came to obtain such powerful and forbidden technology is unknown.

This unusual chapter has shown to possess numerous technologies and weaponry of the early days of the Imperium, thought loss during the Horus Heresy, as well as relic archaeotech from the Dark Age of Technology including incredible Warp Technology too. There is very little information on them, and what little exists, is sealed away in the deepest vaults by the Inquisition. The Zero Legion is a mysterious Space Marine Chapter of the 3 rd Founding and uncertain lineage. We now walk towards the future, while holding the history of mankind on our shoulders." - Speech to all newly inducted Initiates of the Zero Legion. From hence forth you are the shield and sword of man. Your being - body, mind and soul, are now committed to upholding the sworn oath we Space Marines took to the Emperor of Mankind. " You wear the symbol of our chapter, the armor of the Astartes, knowing that you are no longer who you once were.
