Extermination of Serdaex

The decade long campaign in the Serdaex sector saw the Phrygian Knights once again putting down human uprisings, as an entire sector of the Imperium rebelled with their own sector fleet, Planetary Defence Forces and Imperial Guard Regiments. Warder Lakatos led five Phrygian Knights companies, several Imperial Guard Regiments and two Adepta Sororitas Preceptories, in the campaign of reconquest.

One by one the planets were recaptured, though the population, repeating the pattern shown before the Galmor Chase millions of years earlier, were with an insatiable need to revere the so called Overlords. This time however, the population continued their mindless attacks on the Imperium forces, and after several attempts in peacefully managing them, it was decided that it was a foregone conclusion, and exterminatus was ordered into the planets contaminated by this xeno admiration. As the Imperium forces moved, a path of destruction and death was left in their wake. The capital of the sector fell at the end of the campaign, the Phrygian Knights achieving orbit superiority and using exterminatus on the planet.

The Adepta Sororitas became fond allies of the Phrygian Knights, as Warder Lakatos sacrificed many of his astartes in operations to secure holy relics on temples and sacred sites in the surface of several of the planets of the sector, bringing them back to the fleet before the exterminatus of the worlds. In addition, the only world that was spared exterminatus had such a fate because one unconfirmed Saint of the Emperor, Saint Lanassa, through unknown means managed to cleanse the minds of the population by her appearance alone, though she would disappear soon afterwards with her vessel, during a warp jump. The image of a Saint, introduced to the Korengal Company right shoulder pauldrons afterwards, was both a gift and an oath of friendship by the Canoness Superior present during the campaign, for the Phrygian Knights efforts in securing the relics and on defending the Saint and investigating her disappearance. The investigation, done after the complete destruction of the Serdaex rebellion, eventually resulted in the assault upon Jerovian.
Evacuation of Septem XI

The **Evacuation of Septem XI** was an Imperial evacuation operation carried out by the 501st Cordanian MIR upon the Imperial world of Septem XI that had become plagued by the Zombie Plague that threatened to overwhelm the entire planet of Septem XI. Though the Imperial forces were forced to enact *Exterminatus* upon the doomed world, in order to deny the planet to the Plague God, the 501st managed to successfully evacuate of all uninfected survivors from the planet.

## History

The planet of Septem XI comes under a plague unleashed by the Chaos God Nurgle, releasing the dreadful Zombie Plague upon the doomed world. This plague quickly claimed most of the hive cities on the planet. Septem XI was soon deemed lost to the Imperium. During the final days of the planet, the 501st sent out 5 full platoons of soldiers along with their support elements of heavy armour and mechanised vehicles. They managed to hold out against the hordes of zombies and managed to evacuate the last of the uninfected survivors off-world before the wall defences finally fell. The regiment also managed to get most of the last remaining armed forces out before the seal of *Exterminatus* was enacted.

The regiment suffered the loss of six full companies, with one company whittled down to only a squad of survivors. Following this campaign, it took nearly two-and-a-half years to re-constitute their ranks, since they suffered the loss of some of their finest within the platoons of the 501st.
Death of Senegas

Armorial of the Destroyers of Worlds

The **Death of Senegas** was an Imperial defensive campaign carried out by the Destroyers of Worlds Space Marine Chapter against an invading Ork WAAAGH! when they invaded the Imperial world off Senegas. Despite their best efforts, however, the Chapter would inevitably be forced to subject the lost world to *Exterminatus*.

## Background

Senegas was a civilized world said to have beauty rivaled by no other. Alas, like many jewels of the Imperium, it was blemished when the Orks descended upon it. Despite their best efforts, the Planetar Defence Forces were overwhelmed and a call for aid was sent out. One Chapter who answered the call was the Kshatriya. However when they arrived, they found that the call had been sent out well over a hundred years ago and the planet had long since become an Ork world. This did not deter the Kshatriya who deployed regardless. Bellowing war cries and threats of death, the full might of the Kshatriya descended upon the greenskins like a spear into a heart and spilled blood with every blow. Then, before the orks could bring their own might around, the Kshatriya broke off and scattered across the planet, causing the Ork WAAAGH! to break apart in order to pursue the different Brotherhoods of the Chapter.

Unlike most armies, the Kshatriya did not scatter in order to find advantageous holding points. Instead they kept moving, forming overlapping lines and circles that raced around the roving ork mobs, stopping only to refuel and reorganize when they had time. What made this tactic so effective was that whenever one Kshatriya Brotherhood engaged an ork mob, there would be one or two other Brotherhood nearby enough to rush into the fray. The ork mobs were easily picked off one by one until, at last, only the Warboss' mob remained right where the Kshatriya wanted it. As if it was the finale of some bloody crescendo, the Brotherhoods of the Kshatriya fell upon the mob from all directions and slaughtered every last Ork. With the Warboss slain and much of the main Waagh destroyed, the Kshatriya were free to rampage across the world and lay waste to the many Ork settlements plaguing it. Despite their victory, Senegas was still infested with Orks and would never be free of them. Thus the Kshatriya condemned the world to *Exterminatus* and left.
Farhold System

The **Farhold System** is an Imperial system located in the Segmentum Pacificus. It is comprised of four planets named Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta. All of them have a purpose. They are all interconnected, with their main goal to be to protect Terra from threats outside the galaxy.

## History

The Farhold system should have stayed as a system with nothing special other than a mining world. This changed with the Great Crusade with the Emperor turning it into the first line of defence, to protect terra from threats from outside the galaxy.

After the 13th Great Crusade, Farhold Gamma was under siege from the Iron Warriors. The soldiers from Farhold Alpha have been sent over to fight back the traitor. marines

The Iron Warriors and skitarii were fighting a war over a potential resource world that may house an STC. The guardsmen from Farhold Alpha were dispatched to help conquer the planet. The Black Templars were on a crusade to cleanse Farhold, after the fall of Farhold alpha to the orks. They believed that Farhold Alpha fell due to a lack of faith in the emperor, and they are cleansing the system to prevent this.

## Planets

### Farhold Alpha

A fortress world, of similar function as Cadia form the bulwark of the subsystems military forces.

### Farhold Beta

An uninhabited dead world of unremarkable stature. Houses training many of Farhold's forces on how to fight in the harshest conditions, but also as a staging ground for the Imperial Navy in this sector.

### Farhold Delta

A gas giant that holds many moons of different sizes. One moon holds a hive city that is built into its unground that is protected from all solar radiation that lets the surface daily. There is also a city built in the atmosphere of Deltas thick atmosphere.

There is a beautiful moon that houses a paradise world, that is home to Nobles. This moon is closest to Delta's surface. It is being protected by all of the other moons from many threats that space can throw at it.

### Farhold Gamma

An Adeptus Mechanicus Forge World that produces all of the gear that the Farhold system uses. They mine their resources from the asteroid belt just outside of the orbit.
Disaster on Karpoinan

An unknown enemy was ravaging systems in the Ultima Segmentum, as the only word of their attack was the silencing of astropathic communication and the termination of trade that occurred in their wake. In response, Warder Antigonos Kertes rallied three companies of the Phrygian Knights, and deduced that the next system to be attacked would be the system of Karpoinan, due to the patterns of the advance shown by the previous planets being silenced. All that is known from this moment forth is that, immediately upon arriving in Karpoinan, the Phrygian Knights fleet was assailed by an unknown xenos breed, their void ships superior to the Chapter's vessels and with some manner of camouflage, while the planet had already fallen into the hands of the xenos, which were referred to, in posterity, only by "Karpoinan Raiders", as this battle was the only confirmed sighting of them by the Imperium at large.

The battle was short lived: With longer range weapons, the xenos took a heavy toll onto the Phrygian Knights as they left the warp. Antigonos ordered the fleet full ahead, into boarding torpedoes distance, and as that was achieved, he and over two hundred of his astartes were thrown into the inside of the enemies' vessels. Squad by squad, contact with them was lost, and after two Terran hours, the last word, by Antigonos himself, was heard by the Kubernetes (Ship Captain) of the flagship Bellerophon, a Phrygian Knight named Edvaris. Antigonos ordered the retreat of the surviving vessels, and Edvaris complied, leaving two hundred Phrygian Knights behind, while over seventy more were lost in the void battle, with 4/5ths of the Phrygian Knights' fleet destroyed. Only the flagship, Bellerophon, and the 30 remaining astartes in it, returned back to the Imperium.

In the aftermath, Peithon, Silver Shield of the Kilikia Company and Strategos of an expedition fleet, set his stone and was made Warder of the Phrygian Knights, as the remaining strength of the Chapter gathered in Phrygia, this months after Edvaris returned with the grave news. His first campaign, leading six Phrygian Knights companies, was the counter attack on Karpoinan and the other systems that had been ravaged, but no sighting of the xenos was made ever again, for all the planets were barren and lifeless, and the void empty. After decades in search, Peithon returned to Phrygia and the campaign was ended. Until this day, the Phrygian Knights seek information on the Karpoinan Raiders, to enact swift and complete revenge upon them. The description of the Raiders is based on a single unfocused pict capture of a faint shadowy creature in a dark and damp corridor, the picture having been relayed to the flagship Bellerophon during the boarding action in Karpoinan.
Defence/Retribution of the Aktrion Hunt

A massive Chaos invasion comprised of warband of the Emperor's Children Traitor Legion raided and assaulted the world of Akriox. With 4 companies from the Wolves of Terra stationed on the world, the rest of their chapter was away, taking part in an unrecorded crusade.

Hunt Master Eritus of the 4th Company, led the 5th, 7th and 9th Companies against the traitors, and succeeded in pushing back the warband, though the Wolves sustained serious casualties, with the near elimination of both the 5th and 9th Companies. However, the Chaos warband captured and spirited away 150 innocent Imperial citizens and other resources and fled into orbit.

During the initial attack, Axe lord Eritus had the forethought to send an astropathic distress message to the rest of his Chapter. Upon receiving this distress message, the rest of the Chapter immediately dropped out of the crusade to pursue the warband for the next five months, chasing them down across the galaxy, from the Eastern Fringe to the edges of the galaxy itself. Along the way, they withered down the warband until the Warband was eradicated. The skulls of the warband's champions were claimed as trophies. Unfortunately, they were only able to save 17 out of the 150 prisoners, though the Wolves were fortunate enough to reclaim the stolen supplies of ordnance and equipment.
Euric

Armorial of the Marauding Eagles.

**Euric**, known affectionately as the 'Old Eagle', is the current Ansis (Chapter Master) of the savage and unrelenting Marauding Eagles Space Marine Chapter.

## Background

The current Ansis is almost 1,000 years old, and he yet remains a formidable warrior. The burning fury of his Chapter has been tempered by age's wisdom, and his savage cunning is well-supplemented by centuries of experience. Euric originally hailed from the Darkfist Brotherhood, and he is quite used to relying on the same heavy-handed discipline and brutal beatings commonly utilised by the Third Brotherhood to put his Brothers in place. Such behaviour often makes the Marauding Eagles seem more wild than they truly are, but the Old Eagle deems them a necessity. All too often has his Chapter let a berserk frenzy compromise tactical objectives, and while it isn't a grievous flaw when battling alone at the border of the Imperium, it must be weeded out before any engagement alongside forces of the Imperium.

Like all the Ansis before him, Euric craves for glory. His tally of victories is never long enough, and he especially loathes that most of his deeds remain unknown to the wider Imperium. Still, he refuses to leave the usual hunting grounds used by the Marauding Eagles, for fear of some manner of foes crawling out from the dark into the holy territories of the Imperium. One of the rare occasion he truly went far to do battle was during the Indomitus Crusade, and even then it was only during the last thirty years of the century-long crusade, the Ansis wishing to prove to all that no Primaris was needed amongst his kin to achieve successes.
Deeds of Honour

The event known as **Deeds of Honour** was the joint-Imperial defence of the Paladins of Thunder Space Marine Chapter's homeworld, alongside a forces of Crimson Fists Chapter and local Astra Militarum and Planetary Defence Forces regiments in their darkest hour, when their homeworld was invaded by a sizeable Alpha Legion Heretic Astartes force.

## History

Nevertheless, the stalwart resistance from the Imperial forces managed to survive at least until the arrival of reinforcements spearheaded by the cruiser *Valiant Night*, that houses the 1st Company of the Paladins of Thunder; as well as several strike vessels from the Crimson Fists' 2nd and 4th Company.

Thanks to the valiant sacrifice of the last remains of the 71st, Castor was able to send a quick transmission to the fleet: "We can hold." Unable to receive a response,  he hoped that the reinforcements will follow his orders and help the other planet or, at least, purge it.

This decision came with a cost, however; the Fortress-Monastery fell but not before being set ablaze by the last Techmarine of the 9th Company as a squad lead by the Lieutenant Gabriel Javus escaped with the few relics of the chapter, losing all the gene-vats.

Once reunited with the Magister Medicae and the survivors of the Imperial forces on the capital, they were ready to fight to the last man. But luckily, there was no need for a heroic sacrifice this time.

From the sky, Imperial Knights and drop pods fell, giving a chance to the defenders to sally forth and make a pincer movement and killing the traitor leader in a swift blow performed by the 1st Company; leaving The Hydra without heads. After this, the traitor forces on the planet were systematically eliminated, as well as a part of their fleet before they retreated to the Warp.

At the end, Castor was contacted by the captain of the 2nd Company of the Crimson Fists, who gave him a heavily modified crimson Power Fist, *Kantor's Promise* as a gesture of a greater brotherhood between both chapters.

Without Fortress-Monastery and needing both of the inhabited worlds help rebuilding and dealing with surviving cults; the entire chapter was called back to build the new Fortress-Monastery; the Hand of Retribution atop the ruins of the old one; but also to get their mature progenoid glands extracted so the new gene-vats were ready as new recruits were needed.

Once the inhabitants of Zephyron IV were reunited, they, as well as the remaining houses of the Questor Imperialis of Zephyron III gathered and declared the chapter as "Saviors of Zephyron" and their commander as "Lord Guardian of Zephyron". Thanks to their good relation with the Order of Serenity of the Adepta Sororitas, they were able to establish a hospital at the system capital, Orpheus Hive, that was decimated by the Alpha Legion during the conflict.

As both the 5th and 9th Companies were almost destroyed during the sieges, they were assigned the roles of trainers for the new generation of marines needed. Due to the actions during the campaign, Gabriel Javus was ascended to Captain of the 9th Company.
Destruction of the ''Spearfall''

The **Destruction of the *Spearfall***, was a Space Hulk purgation campaign conducted by the Astral Giants Space Marine Chapter to destroy the Space Hulk *Spearfall*, which was being fought over by two opposing forces consisting of both the Orks and an unknown warband of Heretic Astartes.

## History

The Space Hulk designated *Spearfall*, was found in Segmentum Ultima. Within the massive vessel were several warbands of Ork and Chaos Space Marines fighting one another in abandoned bloodlust, with the Space Hulk going on a direct course towards a nearby world. In order the save the planet's populace from being slaughtered by these two forces, the Astral Giants dispatched the 16th Division to eliminate the Space Hulk. The Division sent a platoon containing a full complement of Terminator Marines as a vanguard in order to locate critical weaknesses in the Space Hulk for the Division's ships to target in order to ensure the vessel's total destruction, while the rest of the Division arrived. The process took about a week to finish due to *Spearfall's* large size, as well as small skirmishes with Orks and Chaos Marines, in which half of the platoon was killed. However, their sacrifice was not in vain as they completed their mission just as the fleet arrived. The remaining Terminators were teleported onto an awaiting Escort ship, as the rest of the Astral Giants fleet destroyed the Space Hulk.
Defence of Orask

Armorial of the Wardens of Orask Armorial.

The **Defence of Orask** was the desperate system-wide Imperial defensive campaign fought by the Imperium of Man against the large Hive Fleet Pythos of the Great Devourer to protect the vitally important Orask System. The Imperium's defense was spearheaded by the Wardens of Orask Space Marine Chapter, the sentinels of the Orask System, who had been charged to stand as wardens against the myriad threats from the Ghoul Stars. Situated at the nexus of one of the few viable Warp-routes through the Deeps, Orask has for millennia been a battlefront and bastion that has guarded the Imperium from the terrors beyond.

## History

A most terrible assault occurred in 940.M41, when a splinter Hive Fleet Pythos of the Tyranid menace appeared, disoriented and twisted by its passage through the Ghoul Stars, and fell upon the Orask System like a ravenous beast. The great battle that ensued proved brief but bloody. The stoic defenders of Orask were backed by the entirety of the Wardens of Orask as well as a full company of the Red Talons Chapter and a Titan maniple from the Legio Magna. Despite horrific casualties that reached into the tens of thousands sustained within a mere matter of solar days, the valiant defenders were able to push back their monstrous attackers. Eventually they contained the threat and purged the vile xenos from Orask's blasted surface. In recognition of their tenacity and heroic actions in achieving such a hard-fought victory, the Lord of Macragge himself, Marneus Calgar, honoured the Wardens a Laurel of Defiance. However, evidence persists that some harbinger organisms escaped to the outer systems, and Orask may not have heard the last of the Great Devourer.

Febus de Carcas-Loubet

Armorial of the Mourning Wardens.

**Febus de Carcas-Loubet** is the current Master Archivist (Chief Librarian) of the Mourning Wardens Space Marine Chapter.

## Background

A mighty psyker, de Carcas-Loubet is the youngest member of the Chapter's command structure, at barely a hundred years. Even as a mortal child, he displayed extremely powerful psyker abilities. His predecessor felt that the Wardens had but three choices : kill the boy, send him to the Black Ships or turn him into a weapon wielded by the Imperium to save itself. That the Mourning Wardens chose the third option has saved them several times already. His training proved both difficult and very fruitful.

Ever since he joined the Librarium, Febus has displayed abilities putting him among the greatest psykers of the Astartes. However, his difficult character, reckless and prone to fit of anger, makes him seem unstable to outsiders. However, the Master Archivist is fanatically devoted to the Golden Throne and the Creed of his Chapter. His volatile temperament is mostly the result of his belief that he is one of the few tasked with bringing Humanity from the brink toward a short moment of respite.
Fading Light

The **Fading Light** is the name of the period of systematic isolation of the Crimson Sentinels Space Marine Chapter, when they decided to isolate themselves for a long period of time following the death of their Chapter Master Tiberus Demokan during the Illuminous Crusade at the hands of a Greater Daemon of Khorne. Cutting all ties and communication to the outside galaxy, the Chapter focused on building up the defences of their demesne and to increase the maximum number of allotted battle-brothers, the better to stave off such a massive invasion of their home system again.

## History

During 624.M34, after the death of Tiberus Demokan in the Illuminus Crusade to the hands of the Khorne Bloodthirster Ulk'Arcan, the Crimson Sentinel's new High Sentinel Andreas Valorem decreed for the Emground system would enter a state of isolation from the Imperium of Man. Andreas felt great shame from their Chapter's failures in the Emground Slaughter, being unable to defend their Chapter Master and letting most of their conquered territory to the forces of Chaos, enter a period of isolation. They shut themselves from the outside galaxy, cutting all outside communication and building upon the defences of the Emground System. While they had increased their defenses and recruited more than nominal numbers of Astartes, reaching over 2,000 Crimson Sentinel Astartes within the chapter.
Doth Rebellion

Savage war fought by the entire chapter alongside the entire Hussars Sanguine & Iron Myrmidons chapters plus smaller elements from a half dozen others, and the venerable Titans of the Legio Tyrannica and supporting Khight houses. Two Contingents of the Mauryan Guard provided the main ground forces for war. The loyalists were up against traitor marine warbands like the eternally warring Battleforged and the former loyalists turned Nurgle worshippers the Plague Ravens as well as a few others. The warbands were also being aided by the Dark Mechanicum and cultists drawn from the populace of the mining world of Doth.

 The planet's crust is made up almost entirely of crystallized rock with fields of a moss like lichen near the poles that serves as the main oxygen producer of the planet. Doth is located next to the Pale Vortex but much closer to it than Walcha is. Subjecting it to constant assault from the denizens of the rift as well as xenos raiders that prey upon the support elements of any fleet. These xenos & chaos forces to this day still use it as an easy staging point for further raids or simply to gather slaves.

Because of the danger of working on the planet, the workforce is often made up of penal labor. During this war around 382.M41, the crystal trenches that scarred the battlefield the Count Commander was lost in combat during a fierce artillery barrage. The only survivors of the shell shocked forces hit by the barrage was the remains of a **Solar Falcons** command squad and a few other Falcons from destroyed squads.

All of who reported never seeing any sign of him after he was hit with a shell along with his entire honor guard. Though some of the Falcons were reported as having their gene-seed extracted by the apothecary in the command squad. The apothecary was killed soon afterwards in the withdrawal back to allied trenches, but the gene-seed he was carrying was saved. After his death, Alcar was chosen to lead the chapter as the new Count Commander.
Death of Laiko

Armorial of the Lightning Wraiths.

**The Death of Laiko** is a disastrous defensive campaign carried out by the Lightning Wraiths Space Marine Chapter against a splinter of the Tyranid Hive Fleet Kraken upon the Agri-World of Laiko in the closing years of the 41st Millenium.

## Background

On 999.M41, a fleet containing elements of the 5th and 9th Pillar of Wisdom was forced to return to realspace during a return transit to Morozh'nehya as the tides of the Immaterium became too tumultuous to travel in. They exited in the \_\_\_ Sector, where the Agri-World Laiko was located. Laiko was one of many vital Agri-Worlds in the Segmentum as its main export were grains and grox meat to the worlds of the Cadian Gate. As soon as they exited, they received distress calls from the Agri-World regarding a violent planetwide uprising of cultists and mutants. Viceroy Xi-Huo Han immediately ordered the fleet to close the distance to Laiko and sent its scout teams to investigate.

A few hours later, news from the Saboteur Squads informed the Viceroy that the rebellious mutants were actually genestealer hybrids. Further investigation from the Saboteurs revealed that pure strain genestealers have also began to emerge. Having been privy to information regarding Tyranid invasion doctrines from his time at the Deathwatch, Preceptor Szulah Nuk'Fallad had shared this knowledge to the higher echelons of his Chapter. Through the knowledge that a Tyranid invasion fleet may be approaching the planet, the Lightning Wraiths began to make landfall to both cull the genestealer menace and prepare whatever human defences remain for the incoming swarm.

By the time the chapter had landed troops on the surface, the government was in total collapse and whatever remaining human forces loyal to the Emperor have set up defensive cordons around the four primary storage silos of Laiko. Han had immediately contacted the ranking officer on the closest storage silo and assumed total command of what remained of the PDF as well as militia.

In preparation for the inevitable arrival of the xenos swarm, the Lightning Wraiths requested that whatever crops are available for harvest are to be sown and stored in one of four Strongholds. With the Astartes' assistance, the crops were harvested and stored within three days. While this task was being carried out, the civilians were ushered into the Strongholds and those who are willing to aid in the defense were taught how to operate Heavy Bolters and Autocannons. These men and women were stationed atop Stronghold walls and were assigned with the duty to provide fire support for both the ground forces and the aircraft. The planet's agricultural records and historical records were stored in the \_\_ Stronghold.

The citizens watched with tears as their world was subjected to death by the hands of their protectors.
Fall of the Fifth

The **Fall of the Fifth** is another lamentable and highly suppressed incident in the history of the Dragons Sanguine Space Marine Chapter, that occurred during the middle centuries of the 41st Millennium. Though the exact circumstances are unknown to outsiders, what is known with any certainty by Imperial savants is that something dreadful occurred to the Chapter's 5th Company, which succumbed to some unknown disaster, and eventually resulted in the loss of the majority of a fellow company when they arrived to lend aid to their stricken brethren.

## History

After countless battle that rent their numbers ever lower, the 5th Company suddenly and inexplicably, succumbed to the Black Rage. It is still unclear what exactly occurred, but the Chapter's Apothecaries and Chaplains suggest a drastic loss of willpower and exhaustion by the entire Company. This had led to the last sane members to send a message to the other companies for assistance in order to end the pain of the succumbed brothers. Only the 4th Company heard this desperate plea for help. Using warp travel the 4th reached the strike cruiser the 5th once used as a command post. It wasn't long before they would board the vessel only to be attacked by wave after wave of insane brethren. The sheer power of those feral marines was enough to wipe out the majority of the overwhelmed 4th Company, whittling down their forces until there were only five battle-brothers left alive.

In 511.M41, the rest of the Chapter was informed about the incident that had occured between the two companies. They also informed their brothers that a nearby forge world had taken hold of the 5th Company's vessel until the Chapter could send another company to extract it. In the same year, the five remaining survivors of the 4th Company managed to reach the 1st Company, staying with them until the Chapter would reform.
Destruction of the Brazen Hands

The **Destruction of the Brazen Hands** was an Imperial exterminatus campaign carried out by the Corrosive Thorns Space Marine Chapter against the renegade Brazen Hands Chapter.

## History

The Brazen Hands Chapter, like many before them, became a footnote in history when they betrayed the Imperium for the worship of the Blood God Khorne. During the centuries of their existence, the Brazen Hands had become notorious for their savagery and lack of compassion for civilian casualties. Their list of atrocities grew until they could no longer be ignored, and the High Lords of Terra declared them *Traitoris Perdita*.

Deemed renegade by the Imperium, the Brazen Hands fled for part unknown. However, within a matter of decades word soon reached nearby Imperial command of a marauding Khornate warband that left world after world as blood abbattoirs. The calls for justice grew louder and louder, until finally, they could no longer be ignored. The High Lords called upon the unforgiving Corrosive Thorns Chapter to run the Renegade Chapter to ground, and eradicate them.

The Chapter was dragged into a brutal war with the rogue Chapter. If the Storm Brethren had not arrived to intervene and aid the Corrosive Thorns then the valiant Chapter would've been wiped due to the undying thirst of blood by the Traitors and their neverending hordes of daemonic allies. The two Loyalist Chapters would annihilate the Brazen Hands and utterly eradicate their crumbling homeworld as a last act of spite to the traitor chapter.
Draken Marauders

A non-Codex Compliant 5th Founding Salamanders Successor Chapter, the Draken Marauders are a brutal Adeptus Astartes chapter that revel in the brutality of heat and flame. Taking the combat doctrine of their father Chapter to the extreme, the Draken Marauders utilize specialized strike forces to deal with enemies of the Imperium, using a variety of specialized doctrines made to combat a variety of enemies.[1]
Dungallah Birgonie

Armorial of the Illuminators Chapter

**Dungallah Birgonie** is a proud battle-brother of the Illuminators Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes. Along with the rest of the 24th Deployment, he was seconded to the ranks of The Deathwatch in 968.M41. A highly skilled Apothecary, Birgonie's skills have already proven invaluable in a wide variety of missions.

## History

Like all other Illuminators, Birgonie hails from the apocalyptic death world Nullepart. Growing up in the same Voiceless Desert as Chapter Master Charrat Medjo, Birgonie was expected by many of his peers to either feel proud of the fact or to struggle internally to meet the high bar set by Medjo, to their shock, he did neither, accepting the fact and moving on, unburdened by hubris or by insecurity. This stoic attitude, combined with the results of his entrance examination, led Master of Recruits Kyang Nolligan to place Birgonie among the ranks of the Apothecaries, where he gained the knowledge and experience needed to tend to the wounded in his Chapter.

After his Apothecary training was completed, Birgonie was placed in the 24th Deployment, under Commandant Drell Hynman. Only a few short years after joining the Deployment, Nullepart Secondus erupted in a firestorm of blades and bolt shells as the events of the Nullepart Schism unfolded. The 24th Deployment was hit particularly bad, with only three of the ten-marine squad surviving the events: Dungallah Birgonie; Yarin Liga and Dalgoring Mullginbulla. Even their own Commandant had fallen to the temptations of the Dark Gods, and was killed in battle by Medjo himself.

After a long and hard process of discussion, deliberation and even arguing, it was eventually decided that what remained of the 24th Deployment should be sent to the Deathwatch. Not as a form of punishment like many other Chapters would use Deathwatch service but as a reward for their steadfast determination and the honour they had displayed during the fighting on Nullepart Secondus, resisting the touch of Chaos when even their own Commandant couldn't.

Unbeknownst to Chapter Master Medjo, and his new masters in the Deathwatch, Birgonie was hiding a secret. Birgonie was broken during the Nullepart Schism, broken in a way not many Astartes can be, seeing the madness of brother fighting brother, Birgonie at first tried to make sense of it, but gave up. Instead, he focussed on surviving and found a new voice that promised to help him do just that. While he resisted the touch of Slaanesh, Birgonie had fallen to a different God, one that promised him the strength to survive an eternity of bloodshed, and showed him a new way, one where he can fight with honour and glory, echoed by the laughter of The Blood God.

## Wargear

* Phobos-Pattern Bolt Pistol - As an additional reward for their strength of will, the remains of the 24th Deployment were each given a single weapon of their choice from The Illuminators' expansive armouries, Birgonie chose a comparatively humble Phobos-Pattern Bolt Pistol, with engraving on the side reading "The Unyielding"
* Acitus-Pattern Chainsword
* Diagnostor Helmet
* Narthecium
* Reductor
* Frag & Krak Grenades
Fourtheden Castigation

The **Fourtheden Castigation** was an Imperial castigation campaign of vengeance carried out by the Angels Herald Space Marine Chapter against the vile Sons of Damnation Renegade Chapter for the losses they sustained in a previous campaign.

## History

The Angels Herald finally saw an opportunity to strike back at the Sons of Damnation, launching a vengeful assault against the Renegade Chapter to avenge their fallen Battle-Brothers who died during the Malphi IX campaign. After four decades of silence, the Sons of Damnation had finally revealed themselves, when they raided the Imperial world of Fourtheden. Their goal was to acquire more slaves for their gruesome experiments. The Angels Herald were a relatively young Chapter, impatient to mete out their anger against the vile renegades, and so, the loyalist Chapter wasted no time in launching a planetary assault.

As the majority of the Chapter deployed to the capital city to prepare it for the inevitable assault, the elite veteran 1st Company and 8th Assault Company led the spearhead assault against the Chaos army, creating a thin cordon between the capital and the approaching horde of daemons and Chaos Cultists. These valiant defenders harried the Forces of Chaos, buying time for the Imperial forces to adequately prepare the city's defences. The Angels Herald stood shoulder-to-shoulder, orchestrating a valiant defence that stopped the Sons of Damnation's assault. The brutal battle rage for two weeks, until finally the Forces of Chaos managed to make a breach in the city's defences, and soon the heretic army poured into the city.

Reinforced by the Chapter's war machines, the Angels Herald advanced upon the enemy. The ferocity of the Angels' counter-attack drove the Forces of Chaos into a hasty retreat. In the ensuing chaos, the Sons only managed to spirit away 100 Imperial citizens - a small price to pay, as billions more were saved, due in no small part to the valiant efforts of the Angels Herald. Sustaining few casualties and driving the Forces of Chaos from the planet, this campaign would go down in the Chapter's annals as a momentous victory.
Erendan Pattern Plasma Gun

The Erendan Pattern Plasma Gun

The **Erendan Pattern Plasma Gun** is a type of Imperial Plasma Weapon, manufactured on the Forge World of Erendan in the Levan Sub-Sector of the Mandavi Sector in Segmentum Ultima. Its construction is a closely guarded secret of the Forge World. Numerous offers have been made by the Fabricator-Generals of Ryza to acquire the pattern, each more generous than the last, but the Erendani have seen fit to share the inner workings of the weapon with no one.

The Forges of Erendan produce exactly 40,000 of these weapons a year, no more, no less. 10,000 are shipped to Erendan's allies upon the world of Heb so that each of the 20 Heb Zealous Light Foot Regiments raised that year may carry 500 into battle. Another 10,000 are sent to Erendan's superiors within the Martian Priesthood upon Anuaris, Accatran and Mars. Once the Erendani Skitarii and Magi have taken their pick of the remaining weapons, what is left is offered to the bidding of Imperial Nobels, Rogue Traders, Planetary Governors, and the Departmento Munitorum.

What makes the Erendan Pattern unique from other Imperial Plasma Guns is the Thermal Appeasement Unit on the weapon's rear. The workings of this device are unknown outside of the Erendani branch of the Martian Brotherhood: however, it has the effect of reducing the weapon's fire rate and drastically reducing the incidence of catastrophic overheating that is so common in Imperial Plasma Weaponry.

When an Erendan Pattern Plasma Gun does overheat, the Thermal Appeasement Unit jettisons one of the four inbuilt Thermal Appeasement Cores contained within it. This core carries over 90% of the thermal discharge to a location roughly 4 meters distant from the weapon itself, thus allowing the operator to survive and the weapon to continue functioning. It should be noted, however, that anyone struck by the ejected core, be they friend or foe, is unlikely to survive the experience.

While it is possible to replace spent Thermal Appeasement Cores, this is generally beyond the ability of an Enginseer operating under combat conditions. This limits the weapons to four ejections between refits, after which they begin to suffer from the same faults as other Imperial Plasma Weapons. In spite of this limitation, and the reduced speed operation, the Erendan Pattern Plasma Gun is a formidable weapon, and when used in large numbers, it allows well disciplined infantry force to lay down a slow but relentless wall of armor piercing fire, capable of dissuading even Astartes from a frontal assault.
Felic War

Armorial of Murdering Sons Chapter.

The **Felic War** was a sector-wide Imperial suppression campaign carried out against the Imperial worlds of the Felic Cluster that had declared their independence from the Imperium of Mankind. Several Space Marine Chapters, including the Murdering Sons and the Sons of Orar, were despatched by the High Lords of Terra to carry out terrible and swift retribution against these recalcitrant worlds. The devastation and atrocities carried out by the bellicose Murdering Sons and Star Reapers Chapters were such, that even several centuries later, the infrastructure of these devastated worlds brought back into compliance were still recovering.

## History

An area key to the supply lines of several war efforts, the Felic Cluster consisted of a number of important worlds. These included the home planets of the Righteous Sons and Rift Warriors Chapters, the Forge World, Felic Proctor, and the Holdfast moonbase. Much to the detriment of connected war efforts, the system declared its independence from Terra's rule and seized control of the supply lines passing through the area. After losing contact with both Space Marine Chapters in the region, external forces were notified. To crush the new opposition, the Sons of Orar dispatched its 3rd Company, only to find their Strike Cruiser limping back with dire news. The regional Space Marine Chapters and the Forge World had added their forces to this rebellion, and were staged to defend against any attack. So it was, the Sons of Orar and Murdering Sons arrived, under the command of the Sons of Orar's very own Chapter Master Alavaan.

Olovar prepared a plan to slowly constrict Felic Primaris in a tight noose, taking the key outer systems first then moving forwards. The entire campaign would last for eight bloody years involving many more Chaos warbands and Space Marine Chapters, including the Star Reapers, who were responsible for atrocities such as the bloodying of the Serenity jungle words and the destruction of Felic Proctor. The Murdering Sons themselves enacted their bloody-handed form of justice against multiple recalcitrant worlds within the Felic Cluster, leaving behind a path of utter devastation in their wake. Many of these ravaged worlds are still reeling from the losses of their devastated infrastructure, even three centuries later.
Battle of the Arogian Trade Route

The **Battle of the Arogian Trade Route** was a space lane campaign conducted by the Astral Giants against marauding Ork Freebooterz that continuously plagued the vitally important Arogian Trade Route through the Arogian Sector.

## History

The Arogian Trade Route, used by the Arogian Sector, and located in Segmentum Tempestus, was under pirate raids conducted by Ork Freebooters. Led by a Mekboy, Fore-Armz, the Orks threatened to leave the sector in a state of ruin due to their stealing of vital supplies. The 5th Division, as well as the Southern Watch-Fleet, arrived to assist the Imperial Forces in the sector. Most battles were engaged in space, while several platoons and squads were dispatched to planets in order to protect important outposts. The conflict went on for three months until Fore-Armz personally attacked Major Kordon's ship. Though heavily injured, the Mekboy killed Kordon, only for him to be killed by Octgon, the Commander of the 5th Division at the time. The remaining Freebooters were either killed or scattered after their leader's death, and Octgon was promoted to Major of the Southern Watch-Fleet.
Hrud Rising

The **Silver Centurions**, Wardens of Orask, and the Dark Angels take part in the task force to cleans the Hrud infestations. This deadly infestation had erupted across much of the Imperium at this time.

With two of their three assigned sectors cleared, the Dark Angels' massive, mobile fortress-monastery, *The Rock* suddenly disappears along with their fleet. The Dark Angels leave the campaign abruptly to pursue their own objectives.

Enraged, the Chapter Master of the Silver Centurions & Wardens file a complaint with the High Lords of Terra about the Dark Angels' behaviour. At the concussion of the uprising, there seems to be no action taken in response by the High Lords of Terra against the Dark Angels.
Destruction of WAAAGH! Gloomrippa

The **Destruction of WAAAGH! Gloomrippa** was a xenocial purgation campaign conducted by the Tempest Knights and several other Space Marine Chapters and Astra Militarum Regiments against the invading Ork WAAAGH! Gloomrippa upon the Imperial hive world of Malcron.

## History

The Tempest Knights' Chapter, alongside several Tekarn armoured regiments are besieged in the defence of the Hive World of Malcron by the hordes of the Ork Warboss Krugzad Gloomrippa. Despite vastly overwhelming odds, the Chapter successfully holds the planet's defence for six years until the siege is broken by the combined forces of the Night Reapers and War Bearers Chapters, fighting alongside a major taskforce from Battlefleet Caeleceus to break the orbital blockade that encircles the beleaguered world.
Gut Munchas Klan

## Gut Munchaz Klan

An Ork Boy of the Gut Munchas Klan.

The **Gut Munchas Klan** is a notorious Ork klan that has plagued several Imperial sectors for several centuries. This Ork Klan has come into conflict with the stoic Iron Blood Chapter several times, becoming one of their regular enemies.

## History

There is little worth mentioning about the Gut Munchaz Klan, they were once a small clan outside of the Tabias Sector, before their leader rose to prominence by conquering other nearby Ork Klans with their greater savagery and aggression.

They then proceeded on a Waagh into the Tabias Sector and into the path of the Iron Blood Chapter and the two have been practically arch enemies ever since.

The Klan seems to keep coming back due to finding the Iron Blood chapter as their favorite enemies to fight.

## Leader

Ded Strangla, is a particularly large and aggressive Ork, armed with a power claw, and a cyborg eye, he wears cybernetic augments

Strangla prefers fighting his enemies face to face and despite being armed with a double autogun on his arm, dislikes using it unless his enemy fires first. Strangla is an Ork that has been reported killed several times, in explosions, but instead simply comes back with more cybernetics attached to him, and more armor.

## Boyz

Besides the Squig herders, the Klan is mainly staffed by Choppa Boyz, some Shootas, and the occasional Pain and Weird Boyz. They typically ride squigs into battle.

Dominus Crusade

Armorial of the Dominators Chapter.

The **Dominus Crusade** was a nearly seven century-long Imperial crusade carried out by the Dominators Space Marine Chapter against the Forces of Chaos around the Eye of Terror.

## Background

After the defense of the shrine world Pall'avia, the Dominators began a crusade around the Eye of Terror. The zealous and unforgiving Dominators were determined to bring the light of the Emperor to this darkest corner of the galaxy.

During their subsequent crusade, the Dominators destroyed many warbands of Chaos worshippers as well as the daemon world Krayub, which was a homeworld to Slaanesh warband of The Unpleased. This warband had been a continuous thorn in the Dominators' side for thousands of years. They also banished the Daemon Prince of Slaanesh, Nemarah the Excited.
