Inconclusive The Council of Terra disbands the Remembrancers; Voss is executed and posthumously declared a traitor.
The Council of Terra issued the Edict of Dissolution, disbanding the Order of Remembrancers: chroniclers could not be allowed to wander the civil war, recording the shame of the Legions. The survivors were recalled to Terra for interrogation by Malcador’s offices. Solomon Voss and others disobeyed and went to Isstvan V — where they were taken prisoner; later Rogal Dorn personally executed Voss, and all his works were burned by Imperial decree.

Disputed in the canon
- The disbanding of the Order of Remembrancers in the early Heresy (c. 005–006.M31). The execution of Solomon Voss came later, during the Siege of Terra (c. 014.M31), in a fortress on the dark side of Titan.
