Been reading these recently, happened upon something interesting in XIX: Crusaders do the Hive refer to us as the Ammonite? if you read the verse thinking so, then it kind of makes more sense!
[i]The Ammonite occupied a piece of reality. They rented their existence on fraudulent terms, making themselves happy and fat, fencing themselves in soft lies and sweet apocrypha. Saying: ‘we are peaceful and good, we harm nothing.’
Their golden age was a cancer.
They did nothing to advance the cause of life! They burnt up time and matter and thought on this solipsistic, onanistic pursuit of safety, insulating themselves from death, making a regressive pocket of useless stability. When they could have helped whittle the universe towards its final, perfect form![/i]

The Ammonite were a species of 6-armed cephalopods that lived on one of the moons of the planet Hive came from. It's not us, just one of the Traveler's old pets before humanity became its new pet.

I thought this referred to the Fallen. Theres an entry that describes beings with four arms or some such.
-
Also a "cephalopod" if we can define it as the same cephalopod we have here on earth, would look like an octopus/squid/Nautiloidea or cuttlefish.

Was 6, and definitely not the Fallen, but it did eventually find the Fallen I believe.

Ahh yes, I've continued reading, another verse in Star by Star describes "the Ecumene" as war angels and being driven back... the Ecumene are also mentioned in another verse (Dictata ir Dakaua) which sounds like a Warsat speaking all good stuff
