## History

The Battle of Polara was a harsh conflict that involved the Angels of Ulan and the Solar Eyes Space Marine Chapters when they fought against the traitorous Word Bearers Traitor Legion and the Renegade Faithful Sons and Truth Bringers Chapters. After the Ruinstorm took shape, the Pios System was cut off from the rest of the Imperium as well meaning they were desperate to reach the outside, and they knew that the best way to establish a clear enough signal was to reach the newly founded world of Polora.

Polora was located at the edge of the Segmentum and was utilized as a communications and logistics center, making it an experimental world for new and upcoming technology to be utilized for both the Imperium and Legiones Astartes but that would come to end, for when the Angels of Ulan and Solar Eyes arrive to the planet they were hailed by the both the Faithful Sons and Truth Bringers who informed them of the Warmaster's all and that they must make landfall immediately in order to safeguard the experimental tech and communications array but little did the loyalist know that at the time the Truth Bringers and the Faithful Sons intended on obtaining all the experimental tech and to use it on the loyalist when the time came to assault the throne world.

The Truth Bringers and Faithful Sons had made landfall first, rushing into positions ready to pounce on the loyalist as they made landfall and surely enough they did. Squad by squad fell attempting to rush into cover though some squads had survived and regrouped with one another to fight back against their treacherous brothers, the world was consumed in fire, both sides fought desperately for control over the main research facilities, though the the Truth Bringers and Faithful Sons had the help of daemons and the like they still weren't enough to break through the desperate defense that the Angels and Solar Eyes had established, if it wasn't for the Legio Hispana the loyalist line would've been broken and they would've been slain.

The Legio Hispana had successfully formed a bulwark and took to cover behind the ruined skyscrapers of the once sprawling metropolis that was the city of Goria. The Legio Hispana then noticed a gap and with a gap in the enemy they knew that they could surround the enemy from behind and so they made way to that gap, bringing down titans of the Legio Culti in their march. it wasn't long until Chapter Master Rylind and Chapter Master Derri realized what the Legio Hispana were up to and they too gathered whatever force they could muster and charged alongside the mighty war machines. Rylind took to the skies as a beacon of light and pure strength, he inspired both Angel And Eyes marines into giving it their all however, it wasn't long until the traitors realized what the loyalist were doing but before they could fall muster a counter attack the loyalist from the front pushed forward, breaking their hated foes morale and leading them into a kill zone. Chapter Master Rylind and Derri then moved their forces towards the main research station but to their horror the Chapter Master of the Faithful Sons Casterrn into an infernal beast, with pale wings and glowing red eyes, his once human face was twisted to that of a deamon of ancient Terran myth.

The former Chapter Master then dashed towards them knocking down and even crushing both traitor and loyalist states beneath his hooves and swung his infernal blade in the general direction of the Chapter Masters, Rylind flew back just in time to avoid it however, Derri was not quick enough and in the end he was cleaved in two. After seeing his closest friend be cleaved in two Rylind cried a roar of Anger, and swooped down to meet the beast in blade to blade combat, the two fought for 5 long hours withstanding blows to one another and then took to the skies, that was the moment that each and every Astartes even daemon upon the world looked to the blackened skies to see Angel and Deamon do battle and in a heartbeat, Rylind had sheathed his Blade and tackled Casterrn, positioning himself on his back Rylind then Gripped Casterrns beastial wings and tore them clean off.

As Casterrn fell, his screams of rage and hate echoed through the skies and ground. But finally, the penultimate moment came that all would never forget - Rylind unsheathed his blade and soared down to meet the newly born Daemon Prince. Many say it took Rylind ten seconds to reach the foul Neverborn, but when he finally caught up to the Daemon he thrust his blade deep within its black heart. The traitors knew that right then and there the battle had been lost and so they fled, leaving their master to die. Rylind then spoke some final words right before the daemon died but it is unknown exactly what he said, but in the end he grabbed his blade and pulled it from Casterrn's lifeless body. The battle had come to an end, but at a extreme cost, nonetheless.
