"'*Ere we go! 'Ere we go! 'Ere we go!*"
—Immortul captain, moments prior to hammering his ship into an Imperial vessel.
**Da Immortulz**, also commonly called the green traitors, the green marines or the xenos-like scum, are a renegade warband of Space Marines that, instead of falling to the ruinous temptations of the Dark Gods of Chaos, sucumbed instead to the warcries of Gork and Mork. Now, the astartes follow in the wake of many greenskin WAAGH! across the galaxy, plundering both Imperial and Chaos forces alike, seeking only war for the pleasure of it.

Brutally cunning, yet cunningly brutal, the chapter originally known as the **Bone Reapers**, were created from the gene-seed of the **White Scars** by direct order of the High Lords of Terra, alongside other chapters of the Adeptus Astartes, in an attempt to halt the advances of several ongoing WAAAGH! acros the Milky Way. In the case of the Reapers, they were sent to fight against the Arch-dictator of Gathrog, a powerful warlord that ruled a vast area across the Eye of Terror. After years of continuous violence and the exposure to not only the corrupting energies of the Warp, but also the savage WAAAGH! energy of the greenskins, the entirety of the brotherhood fell to madness, and started believing themselves, and the humans that served under them, to be greenskin as well.

After this fateful event, they shone any allegiances to the Imperium of Man or to the Dark Gods, favouring instead Gork and Mork. Their forces were reshaped to that of an Ork Tribe, divided into Klans and the human serfs were considered gretchins, taking on the usual duties of that lowly race. They roam the galaxy, plundering and destroying what they see fit, swearing oaths to the warlords that promise the best fighting and leaving the moment the battle is over.

Most of the space marines, albeit believing to be cruel and savage greenskins, have kept most of their intelect intact. This means they are terryfyingly cunning and strategical foes, and many officers of the Imperial Guard have found themselves defeated at the hands of orks that were, in fact, being led by Da Immortulz. This high degree of intelligence when compared to the other orkoids came at a price, however, for the humans lack the innate psychic abilities of the orks to make things happen simply because they believe it to be so. For that reason, Da Immortulz constantly raid other races for usable technologies and, due to the high attrition lifestyle of the orks, prompltly destroy them, meaning they are always on the hunt.

Cleansing of Prdova

Armorial of the Thousand Blades Chapter.

The **Cleansing of Prdova** was an Imperial xenodical purgation campaign carried out by the Thousand Blades Space Marine Chapter against the invading Genestealer Cult of the Six Armed Princes upon the Imperial world of Prdova.

## Background

When the Hive World of Prdova was attacked by Genestealer Cult of the Six Armed Princess, Primaris Captain Bronislav and Primaris Corpus Chaplain Kristupas were tasked to purge the Genestealer Cults out of Prdova. As battle rages, the Thousand Blades realize that the Hive Fleet Dalamandur is encroaching Prdova, with the help of 4th Company Captain Jan Mihal Skrzetuski and Veteran Battle Brother Dauritaj, the Thousand Blades 4th Company engage the incoming Hive Fleet in the void battle while the 5th Company continues to press on the Genestealer Cults at Hive City Skovia.

Although the Thousand Blades succesfully eradicate the entire Cult of the Six Armed Princess, over 95% of the planet population were slain by the Cult. In addition, though the Hive Ships have been destroyed and the Hive Fleet Dalamandur were driven back, the Thousand Blade's Main Battle Barge '*Ogień i Mieczem*' and hundreds of Thunderhawks and Gladius Frigate were destroyed in the process. 4th Company Primaris Captain Skrzetuski were comatozed but saved and rescued by the Chapter following the end of the Genestealer Cleansing. Since then the Captain was put into a medicae pods to be healed by chapter apothecary. Captain Bronislav soon manage and rebuilt both the 4th and 5th Company back to its former strength.
Dark Calculation

The **Dark Calculation** was a near disastrous event that occurred during the ongoing Indomitus Crusade to the Heralds of the Storm Space Marine Chapter when the Sons' flagship, *Anvil of Valor* was attacked in a surprise attack by their eternal foes - the Crow's Children Chaos Warband.

## History

By the dawning of the 42nd Millennium, the Sons of Galastram had done well for themselves and earned honor and prestige for their bravery on the battlefields of Segmentum Obscurus, and were reconquering the Hive World Ciarra under occupation by the Black Legion. With most of the Chapter deployed on Ciarra to recapture the Hive Cities, the Crow's Children force of Plague Marines, revitalized under Peredrath the Ruiner's guidance, launched a surprise attack on the Heralds of the Storm's flagship battle barge, *Anvil of Valor*, and unleashed a viral plague into the Battle Barge's air filtration and rendered it uninhabitable, as well as slaying the wounded and token battle-brothers aboard the *Anvil*.

Crippled by this insidious strike, the Herald's pride and honor were shattered, and there was a lingering doubt in the minds of the Chapter that the sacrifice of Aethelar Perro and his chosen elite marines to destroy the *Dark Carrion*, the Children's Space Hulk-turned Star Fortress, was made pointless as the Warband seemed to be flourishing regardless. But the current Lord Marshall, Cedrulan, dismissed these doubts by heroically capturing the capital Hive of Ciarra and led his Chapter on a hunt for the Plague Marines that humiliated them so.

Crusade upon Craven XI

The **Crusade upon Craven XI** was an Imperial xenocidal purgation campaign conducted by the Rebutors Space Marine Chapter against the Ork Warband of Warboss Kragg Warbringa.

## History

"*Once we are through with them, the sand shall be painted green with the bodies of aliens! The Emperor calls for retribution, brothers!*"
— Lightbringer Johannas invigorating his Knights before the battle with the Goffs
The first major Crusade carried out by the Rebutors was on the planet Craven XI in the Uhulis Sector of the Segmentum Tempestus. The planet had recently been overrun by Orks, the mortal enemy of the Chapter. Lead by Lightbringer Johannus Redicar and Reverend Talian Gordon, a large group of Knights and the 5th Diocese stormed the desert planet. The Orks numbered in the millions, proving a formidable force against the might of the Astartes. The greenskins, lead by Warboss Kragg Warbringa of the Goffs, was determined to strip the desert planet of its rich iron and copper deposits. Yet, this was promptly interrupted when the Space Marines invaded the planet, seeking naught but to purge the xenos. Indeed, a massive war ensued between the Rebutors and Warbringa.

The 5th Diocese lent support to the crusading knights of the Chapter who stood at the front lines, cleaving the greenskins with power swords, axes and hammers. After days of fighting, Warbringa himself entered into the fray, calling Lightbringer Johannus to engage him. Eventually, Warbringa's head rolled across the battlefield, with Johannus standing victorious upon the body of his foe. Immediately after noticing the death of their boss, the Orks began to flee from the planet. However, the Battle Barge *Praetorian's Shield* stood waiting for the greenskin fleets in low orbit. Not a single Ork escaped the system, all were wiped from the area. Craven XI was then claimed as a Mining World of the Imperium, with the Rebutors as its governing Chapter.
Castigation of the Sanctors

The **Castigation of the Sanctors** was an Imperial expedition to the Sanctors of Lightrim's Chapter homeworld to investigate rumours of diabolic practices and the use of heretic weaponry in their war against the Great Enemy.

## History

"*You stand accused of consorting with the daemon, with taking up the weapons of the cursed, and of self-aggrandisement. You will answer these charges, to the satisfaction of the Ordo Hereticus, and you will submit yourself to whatever censure is apportioned."
"And if I refuse to submit to the petty judgement of one Inquisitor?"
"If you do not comply, then your Chapter will pay for your folly, and be cast out, beyond the light of the Emperor, for all time."
"And what if I do not recognise the right of the Inquisition to excommunicate my Chapter thus?"
"Then you will not leave Lightrim alive. The choice is yours.*"
— Vox transmission recording between Inquisitor Morum Fel and the Chapter Master of the Sanctors of Lightrim, ca. 500.M41
The Sanctors' actions alert the Inquisition to their use of the Ruinous Powers. The Inquisition ordered a thorough investigation of the Chapter. Inquisitor Morum Fel was sent to the Sanctor's Chapter homeworld of Lightrim to investigate Chapter's practices and search for any sign of potential corruption. What Morum Fel found was that these Astartes blatantly used the fell powers of the Warp as well as dark sorcery, which was strictly forbidden by Imperial edict. The newly renamed 'Sons of Damantion', openly worshipped the Ruinous Powers. The Inquisitor did not return from Lightrim, having vanished under mysterious circumstances. A fellow Inquisitor received a secret transmission from Inquisitor Fel just before his disappearance and was shocked by the evidence his colleague had uncovered.

This Inquisitor and a strike force comprised of 100 Inquisitorial Storm Troopers were quickly despatched to Lightrim in order to discover Fel's fate, and to determine for himself whether the Sanctors of Lightrim were either loyal or heretics. He soon had his answer, when he was confronted by Morum Fel, now twisted by Chaos, who summoned daemonic servants to the material realm in order to feast upon the interlopers. The Inquisitor ordered his men to make a fighting withdrawal to his ship before it was too late, however, only 10 Storm Troopers and the Inquisitor managed to survive. Making a hasty retreat, they Inquisition would return in order to bring their unfettered wrath down upon the traitorous Chapter
Dawn of Stalinthax

The **Dawn of Stalinthax** was an Imperial excoriation campaign conducted by a small strike forces from the merciless and unforgiving Mortiferous Shades Space Marine Chapter against the murderous Night Lords Chaos Warband known as the Howling Sirens. This campaign took place upon the Imperial world of Stalinthax.

## Background

On the fortified industrial world of Stalinthax, a relentless tide of Night Lords warband known as the Howling Sirens launched an invasion. In response to this treacherous incursion, the 2nd Harrow of the Mortiferous Shades Chapter engaged their traitorous cousins in a fiercely contested war, resulting in a rapid escalation of casualties. The conflict between the Mortiferous Shades and the Howling Sirens was characterized by numerous hit-and-run engagements, as both sides sought to gain the upper hand on the planet. The body count rose rapidly as the battles raged across Stalinthax, leaving devastation in their wake.

Over time, the Mortiferous Shades gradually gained the upper hand, effectively wearing down the Howling Sirens. The traitorous Night Lords warband suffered heavy losses, with less than a company of warriors remaining. As dawn broke, the Mortiferous Shades emerged from the shadows, shouting in fierce joy as they witnessed the fall of the last of the Howling Sirens. Regarding the Arcakrold Incursion, it was an enigmatic battle that was part of the much larger conflict, in which the Mortiferous Shades Chapter took part.

The details of this engagement, however, have been deliberately obscured and sealed away. The records pertaining to the Arcakrold Incursion have been declared *Inconcessus* meaning forbidden or classified information. The reasons behind the secrecy surrounding the Arcakrold Incursion remain unknown, shrouding the campaign in mystery and speculation. It serves as a reminder that within the vast history of the Imperium, there are hidden chapters and classified operations, the details of which may forever remain undisclosed.
Enpvon Sharis

Armorial of the Ardent Shields Chapter.

**Enpvon Sharis** was the first *Caput Magister* (Chapter Master) of the Ardent Shields Space Marine Chapter. He went on to serve the Chapter longer than any other Caput Magister in their Chapter's history.

## Background

The First *Caput Magister* of the Ardent Shields, Enpvon Sharis was the commander of the Marine forces in the Salvation Crusade. He would remain *Caput Magister* the longest so far for the Chapter for almost two millennia (though this is unconfirmed and highly disputed) before falling in battle against the unending hordes of the Daemons of Tzeentch while defending a Tech-Priest command center on the Forge World Annihilation until Imperial Guard and Space Marine reinforcements arrived.

Enpvon was to first come to prominence during the Salvation Crusade where time and again he would lead the charge into the most dangerous combat zones. This first started when he lead the strike team aboard the then Ork looted battleship *Salvation* where he would defeat the Kaptain in a one on one duel. He would continue to lead the assaults against the Ork Warboss’ on each of the worlds in the sub sector, each one falling by his hands. He would later show is commitment to those men under his command by ramming his Strike Cruiser into a Inquisitorial Cruiser which was bombing the Hive City that still had his Ardent Shields and Imperial Guard forces still in their.
Crushing of Da Wild Boyz

The **Crushing of Da Wild Boyz** was an Imperial xenodical castigation campaign carried out by the newly incepted Mourning Wardens Space Marine Chapter against a roving band of Ork Freebootaz, known as Da Wild Boyz.

## Background

This ten years long campaign saw the young Chapter, now at full strength, confronting a roving band of Orks, known as Da Wild Boyz, operating from a ramshackle fleet, comprised of stolen Imperial ships, who extended to ravage the sector of space around Occiana. The green-skinned brutes proved to be dangerous foes, even if they still weren't mighty enough to form a true WAAAGH!!! Several worlds were contaminated - and remains infested by wild Orks to this day - during those ten years. The war came to a close when Erbrad de Castelrous managed to set off a nuclear device at the center of the enemy's fleet, which led to a chain reaction annihilating Da Wild Boyz. It was the first step on de Casterous' career which would led him to become First Defender in the years which followed.
Cleansing of Hive City Ixtris VII

Within the neighboring Arelius System, located in the Segmentum Obscurus, is the vitally important industrial Hive World of Ixtris VII. This planet is responsible for supplying both bolters and munitions to countless Space Marine Chapters and is often used as the Wolves of Terra's secondary recruitment world, who cull potential aspirants from its gang populations.

When the Istrix VII goes silent and ceases all shipments, the Wolves send the 3rd Company investigate. Upon entering orbit the 3rd Company were immediately ambushed by the world's planetary defence forces and engaged in a short battle for orbital superiority. The Chapter discovered that the troopers of the world's PDF was tainted and controlled by a Genestealer infestation, and learned that a bloody conflict continued to rage between those untainted and loyal guardsmen, underhive gangs and members of the Adeptus Mechanicus, against the horde of Genestealer cultists that infested the planet.

The Wolves immediately deployed their drop pods and Thunderhawk gunships to partake in this conflict, to cleanse the world of the xenos filth. After calling for reinforcements from the Chapter, in the form of the 5th and 6th companies, they began a 4 month-long campaign of the world's purification of the xenos taint and eventually claimed the skull of the genestealer Patriarch, which was acquired by Sergeant Katos, otherwise known as the 'Bloody-Handed'.
Chaos at The Doorstep

**Chaos at The Doorstep** was one of the earliest recorded campaigns conducted by the Paladins of Thunder, a newly created Ultima Founding Space Marine Chapter comprised entirely of Primaris Space Marines against an invading force of Alpha Legion Heretic Astartes upon their Chapter homeworld of Zephyron IV.

## History

Once their Fortress-Monastery, the Halls of Solace, was built and Aemilus Castor was anointed Governor of Zephyron IV, the Paladins of Thunder began the usual activities that every chapter inside the Imperium Nihilus does; sending forces to invade worlds and stop incursions from xenos races across the sector; the Paladins of Thunder did their duty without hesitation, fighting mostly Orks and Traitor Astartes. But, one day, traitor forces staged a rebellion in Zephyron III. A few days afterwards, a Chaos fleet of the Alpha Legion descended upon the system with only the 5th and 9th Companies located in the system at the moment, alongside Aemilus Castor.

Trying to stop the system from falling to disarray, Magister Medicae Castor sent the 5th Company to Zephyron III to help House Alexios and its retainers against the Traitor Knights and cultists that were reinforced by the Alpha Legion, meanwhile, he'll fortify the capital of his chapter's homeworld, as well as use the small battlegroup as means to both evacuate civilians and to send messages to other Imperial forces nearby.

With help from the 112th Zephyrean Armoured Division and the 71st Zephyrean Regiment, Castor managed to evacuate a half of the population of Zephyron IV before the first wave of Chaos forces attacked.

Once it happened, both the capital and the *Halls of Solace* were sieged, stopping the forces located in those places to assist one another or other places in the planet, leaving some minor settlements and spaceports defended by the PDF or, in the worst case, at the mercy of the Alpha Legion. With this maneuver, the traitor forces also managed to stop communications between both worlds.
Cleansing of the ''Dark Destiny''

The **Cleansing of the *Dark Destiny*** was a joint-Imperial Space Hulk purgation campaign conducted aboard the *Dark Destiny* by the Golden Seraphs and Blood Bearers Space Marine Chapters, to cleanse the massiv hulk of a large Genestealers infestation and to plunder the ancient vessel for potential Standard Template Constructs and other lost technology.

## History

A Space Hulk code-named *Dark Destiny* drops out of the Warp, dangerously close to the Golden Seraphs' homeworld of Esau. Strike Forces of the Golden Seraphs and the fleet of the Blood Bearers moves to intercept the massive Hulk, deploying squads of their 1st Company Terminators via Boarding Torpedoes. A vicious battle erupts throughout the kilometres of tangled corridors, chambers and ducts as the Seraphs and Bearers battle furiously against the Hulk's Genestealer infestation. A force of 160 1st Company Terminators eradicated a force of more than 100,000 Genestealers, cleansing the *Dark Destiny*, its secrets plundered in the Imperium's name.
Cafael System Defence

Armorial of the Knights of Aryith.

The **Cafael System Defence** was a joint-Imperial defensive campaign conducted by both the Knights of Aryith and their allies from the White Angels Space Marine Chapters in the defence of the Cafael System from an encroaching invasion by marauding Ork forces. The two Chapters forged a bond of eternal brotherhood in the fires of war.

## Background

In 178.M39, the Knights of Aryith received an Imperial astropathic message from sector command that the nearby Cafael System had fallen to a massive invasion by marauding Orks. This Imperial system was under the stewardship of the allied White Angels Chapter. The Knights immediately mustered their entire Chapter strength and deployed wholsale in order to assist the beleaguered Imperial system.

Meanwhile, the White Angels valiantly fought tooth-and-nail against the seemingly neverending hordes of greenskins. But despite their best efforts, they face imminent annihilation in the face of such overwhelming odds. Fortunately, the Knights of Aryith arrived in a timely manner, and immediately launched a brutal counter-offensive against the greenskin forces in order to drive them back. After several weeks of brutal and blood-handed fighting, both Chapters successfully managed to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

After this Imperial victory, the two Chapters swore vows of eternal friendship and cooperation - agreeing to answer one another's call-to-arms should the need ever arise.
Castigation of the Cult of a Thousand Tongues

The **Castigation of the Cult of a Thousand Tongues** was a significant Imperial retribution campaign carried out by the savage and unforgiving Blood Vultures Space Marine Chapter against the world of Narcisium. This campaign marked the final phase of the Chapter's hundred-year-long Penitent Crusade undertaken by the Chapter following the Ruination Heresy as atonement for the tragic events that occurred on their homeworld a century earlier.

## History

After the lamentable events of the Ruination Heresy, the Blood Vultures came under extreme scrutiny from the Inquisition, specifically the Ordo Hereticus, which quarantined the Akeldama System to further investigate the Chapter for the potential of further heresy. Through rigorous testing and scrutiny, which included intense physical, moral and spiritual tests, as well as having their gene-seed thoroughly investigated by representatives of the Magos Biologis, the Blood Vultures were declared free of corruption. To make amends and atone for the lives lost under their watch, and to give appropriate recompense, the Blood Vultures voluntarily undertook a hundred-year Penitent Crusade.

As the final decades unfolded, the Blood Vultures were guided to the world of Narcisium through the arcane divinations of their Chapter's Librarians. There, they discovered that hive world that had rebelled against the Imperium, rallying behind a charismatic Planetary Governor who had fallen to the influence of a secretive cabal of Slaanesh worshippers. Unbeknownst to the general population, the Imperial Planetary Governor had already enticed several high-ranking Imperial nobles into the salacious pleasure cult. The Chapter struck like a thunderbolt, launching a strategic planetary strike on the governor's palace located in the heart of the planet's capital. With their characteristic savagery and unforgiving nature, the Blood Vultures brutally exterminated the renegades and cult leaders, displaying their decapitated heads upon the ramparts of the governor's palace as a grim warning to others.

Through their relentless campaign and unwavering commitment to upholding the Emperor's justice, the Blood Vultures successfully quelled the rebellion in less than a day, putting an end to the insidious pleasure cult's influence without having to eradicate the majority of the world's population. This uncharacteristic restraint went a long way towards the Chapter earning redemption in the eyes of the Inquisition. The Castigation of the Cult of a Thousand Tongues serves as a powerful example of the Blood Vultures' determination to tone for their past and uphold the values of the Imperium. Their ferocious retribution against those responsible for threatening Imperial order and security stands as a testament to their unforgiving nature and their unwavering commitment to the defence of humanity against all threats.
Evacuation of Fercoln

The Storm Host deployed to evacuate the colonists of Fercoln to save them from an encroaching Ork WAAAH! During the evacuation, the Stormwing and Ironwing Orders deployed upon the planet to defend key locations.

 During the evacuation, the Paladins of the Host were called together and left the system without warning. They had left to pursue a Fallen lead alongside the elements of the Angels of Vengeance.

The rest of the Host were left under the command of Master Jaloss. Jaloss managed to evacuate the rest of the population, but at great cost to the Host against the Orks.
Destruction of the Black Engineers

The **Destruction of the Black Engineers** was an Imperial joint-castigation campaign carried out by both the Ebon Knights and the legendary Grey Knights Space Marine Chapters. They were responsible for the persecution and eradication of the renegade Heretek faction of Tech-Priests known as the Black Engineers, for dabbling in 'Malatek Incarna'.

## History

Stationed at a remote Adeptus Mechanicus research facility, a group of Tech-Priests had banded into a heretical techno-cult known as the Black Engineers. In their testing chambers, they began to explore long-forbidden sciences that was outside the purview of the Cult Mechanicus. Their heretical research resulted in a disastrous resonance cascade that tore a rift in reality which devastated the facility and enabled daemons to manifest in the material realm. Crusading in close proximity, the Ebon Knights answered the research facilities astropathic distress signal and made all haste. When they arrived, they fought alongside the mysterious silver-armoured Astartes of the legendary Grey Knights amongst the ruins of the research facility an attempt to eradicate the daemons and seal the rift. The surviving techno-cultists surrendered and were executed for their tech-heresy.
Dark Rain at Vallenin

The **Dark Rain at Vallenin** was a xenocidal purgation campaign carried out by the 501st Cordanian MIR and Ultramarines Chapter's 3rd Company against the Drukhari Kabal of Lethal Guile, that was fought upon the Imperial agri-world of Vallenin.

## History

The 501st and several other regiments were dispatched to free the enslaved population of the Agri-world of Vallenin from the Drukhari Kabal of Lethal Guile. The regiment was also accompanied by the Ultramarines' 3rd Company to help in this cause, but they were sorely pressed by the xenos' grav-craft until their Hunters were deployed to reap a great tally amongst the swift craft. In the end, Imperial forces killed every Drukhari raider on the planet, down to the last warrior. They even destroyed the webway gate that was on the planet, cutting off any survivors from escaping. The regiment claimed an extensive collection of trophies, including over three hundred sets of Drukhari ears and three heads from the Drukhari's high-ranking commanders. This brought a great boost in moral to the 501st who honored their oaths they had taken before leaving their home system.
Defense of Colossus

The **Defense of Colossus** was an Imperial defensive campaign conducted by the Guardians of Osiris Space Marine Chapter in the defence of the vitally important forge world of Colossus, which is located in the Chapter's demesne in the Osiris System, from the infamous Eyes of Anubis Chaos Warband and hordes of summoned Daemons of Tzeentch.

## History

Colossus was a forge world located in the Osiris System. It is a vitally important Adeptus Mechanicus fane, notable for its mass-production of dreadnoughts, Titans and other types of equipment for the Guardians of Osiris' arsenal. But in the year 365.M39, the forge world was attacked by a Chaos Space Marine Warband know as the Eyes of Anubis. The Eyes of Anubis flooded the forge world with daemons of Tzeentch, followed by their Chaos Lord: Anubis Kemet, the Watcher of Change. The battle took 20 Terran months, and it only ended with the battle between the Chaos Lord and the Veteran Sergeant - Sigurd Njordson. Where Sigurd would face the Chaos Lord gravely wounding him in a melee combat. After the fight with Kemet the 2nd company of the Guardians of Osiris leaded by their captain, Ragnar Bestla would fight against the forces of the Eyes of Anubis, making them retreat and go back into the depth of the Warp.
Ethmiel Kolkas

Armorial of the Void Ravens Chapter.

Knight-Champion **Ethmiel Kolkas** was a member of the 3rd Hold of the Void Ravens Space Marine Chapter during the latter years of M38.

## Background

Kolkas was a Void Raven serving in the Third Hold during the second half of M38. He quickly proved to be incredibly skilled with a blade and a shield, but was also a true genius when it came to strategy. Most of the other Void Ravens believed that his ascension within the Chapter would be extremely quick, despite his sole apparent flaw - his arrogance. Ethmiel Kolkas was indeed quite conscious of his many talents and displayed a behaviour which confined with outright rebellion when dealing with both his superiors and other figures of authority from the Imperium. However, while he was doing his best to claim the position as the next Marshal of his Hold, he was taken by the Touch of Istvaan.

What he lived through the memories of those dark days is known only to him and it is a secret he brought with him to his tomb. But what is known is that, having survived the Touch, he made a solemn vow to never lead any Battle-Brothers and asked for the rank of Knight-Champion. Because of his talents, his request was granted and he devoted himself to his new task, protecting the honour of the Third Hold during no less than 300 years before he was finally killed in action. But even then his enemies couldn't claim the life of his liege and in death he ensured the victory of the Void Ravens.
Defense of Druthia

The '*Defense of Druthia* was an Imperial defensive campaign carried out by the Heb 38th Zealous Light Foot Regiment, "Titan Slayers" Astra Militarum regiment in the defence of the industrial world of Druthia from the Forces of Chaos.

## Background

The Heb 38th, 73rd and 130th Regiments were among the Imperial Guard forces mobilized to assist in the defense of the Industrial World of Druthia. Druthia was a key supply node for the Imperium’s defense against the Ork Empire of Charadon; it's loss would leave whole Sub-Sectors vulnerable. This is likely the reason that it was targeted by an unknown Chaos Space Marine Warband in 602.M40.

After drawing the defenders into open combat, the traitor Astartes revealed their trump card, two Ravager-class Titans, provided to them by the Dark Mechaniucm: the *Perfidious Verba* and the *Bane of Stulti*. While the surviving Guard armor regrouped and engaged the *Bane of Stulti*, the three under-strength Heb infantry Regiments prepared to draw the *Perfidious Verba* into a trap.

While the 73rd sacrificed itself to maneuver the Verba into position, the 38th and 130th set up impromptu defensive lines. Meanwhile, an Erendani Tech-Priest attached to the 130th concealed the heavy weapons squads of all three Regiments from the Titan's auspex in a nearby ravine. When the traitor Titan moved to assault the two loyal Regiments, it unknowingly maneuvered itself into a trap. Lascannons, missiles, and thousands of rounds of heavy bolter fire volleyed against the Titan from what was effectively point blank range. At the direction of the Tech-Priest, all fire was concentrated on a single joint in the daemon machine's leg. With what was described as a sickening crack, like breaking bone, the *Perfidious Verba*'s leg gave way and the Titan fell. With the beast wounded and felled, morters joined in with the other heavy weapons, salvoing until they were sure the Verba would speak no more.

The survivors of the 73rd and 130th were reorganized into the 38th, and that Regiment would fight on for seven more months upon Druthia. The world was eventually cleared of traitors, and the Regimental honor of "Titan Slayers" was awarded to the Heb 38th by vote of the Martian Synod.
Defence of the Zephyron System

The **Defence of the Zephyron System** was an Imperial defensive campaign carried out by the Paladins of Thunder Space Marine Chapter against a large-scale invasion by the Forces of Chaos during the latter years of the Indomitus Crusade, to defend their home system.

## History

After a big warp storm hitted the system, a Space Hulk appeared in the edge of the system. But, two days later, a massive Chaos insurrection happened in Zephyron III and the once still "Space Hulk" turned out to be a warband of the Alpha Legion. During the months of their siege to both planets, the local regiments and the 5th and 9th Companies held their ground even until both the Crimson Fists and the 1st Company of the chapter arrived. Before this siege, the Strike Cruiser *Dorn's Pride* (now known as the *Fury of Zephyron*), was emptied of equipment to carry as much of the population of Zephyron IV as possible out of the system, as well as to carry a message to allied forces nearby (the ship that had to carry that duty, the Nova Frigate Indomitus, was destroyed protecting the *Dorn's Pride*).
Enyalios

**Enyalios** is the first planet of the Persid System. It is a lifeless rock swept clean of an atmosphere and endlessly scoured by solar winds. Despite this, the world is one of the most materially valuable in this area of space as it is rich in minerals and alloys vital to the Imperial war machine. For this reason alone, the Adeptus Mechanicus has claimed the world and operates mining complexes which greedily devour its raw materials for the good of the Imperium.

Forge World Phaestos has also established an underground research station on the planet though it is unknown what kind of research is undertaken there. Communication with this facility is extremely unreliable due to solar interference.

## History

Enyalios was deemed suitable for exploitation by a Mechanicus explorator fleet in late M.35, but colonisation of the system was delayed due to the turmoil of the Age of Apostasy. By the time attention was returned to the Persid system, it was the beginning of M38. Since Enyalios is tidally locked, meaning one side is always facing the local star, the Mechanicus established its first complexes on the dark side of the planet and spread out from there. Their cyborg nature has allowed the Machine God's adepts to operate on the radiation-soaked vacuum with no ill effect.

### Recent Events

As of 012.M42, the Enyalios Research Station has been out of contact for just over five solar years (by the Forge World's calculations). This is not uncommon due to adverse conditions in the inner reaches of the system. Per security protocols, however, Phaestos has sent a ship to investigate.

## Production

The Adeptus Mechanicus has been voracious in strip-mining the planet. In the ~3000 years since the Mechanicus started mining, Enyalios' overall mass has decreased by 0.0002%. Enyalios is rich in iron which gives the surface its rust-red colour. There are other elements to be found; including those which make up plasteel and even traces of the composites of ceramite. The raw materials mined from this world have supplied rapid construction of both Phaestos and Sophia's Rest. Once these materials reach the Forge World they are subjected to rigorous decontamination.

Because there is no organic population, Enyalios can be subjected to the highest tithe grades and has almost no imports.
Destruction of Darcadia

The **Destruction of Darcadia** was an event that started upon the world of B'allmar when the Ultramarines were carrying out their mission against a T'au Hunter Cadre when a warp portal materialized within an ocean. On the coast, several Ultramarine Rhino transports were gathering in preparation to launch an assault against the T'au. Soon after, they were themselves assault by several Daemon Engines, including Forgefiends, Maulerfiends, and Death Wheels. Within minutes, the Ultramarines were decimated, losing nearly all of their Rhinos and attempting to regroup to counterattack. They never stood a chance as Bloody Hands Havocs annihilated them with Kalibrax-pattern autocannons and Mars-pattern heavy bolters.

It soon became apparent that these Chaos Space Marines were once the loyal Ruby Sabres based on surmounting evidence, the main one being that the attack was led by the Master of the Forge Hebediah Briehl, now a twisted Warpsmith. Upon this discovery, the Ultramarines sent three entire companies to the Alpha Lota System. On approach to Darcadia they were fired upon by surface Defense Lasers. Several Thunderhawks are destroyed or shot down to crash land upon the surface of the planet. Only a handful of Ultramarines were able to escape the surface of the planet.

Over the next several solar weeks, the Ultramarines blockaded Darcadia from the Bloody Hands Chaos Fleet. The Bloody Hands continue their piratical raids on nearby Imperial shipping lanes only to be countered by Ultramarines voidcraft. Ultramarines scouts learn that the Bloody Hands had acquired and pilfered gene-seed from fellow Ultramarine Battle-Brothers and have also been ambushing other loyalist Space Marine Chapters to appropriate gene-seed to create more chaos space marines for their ranks.

Upon this unsettling revelation, the Dark Angels come out of warp above the planet of Darcadia. The Ultramarines contact the Dark Angels and relay their appalling news of their vile hosts true intentions. After further discussion, the Dark Angels and Ultramarines come to a consensus that the only course of action may be to use *Exterminatus* upon Darcadia.

The Ultramarine and Dark Angels assault the planet for a second time. As the traitors fire the defence lasers, the loyalist teleport both their elite 1st companies to decimate the defense batteries to take out all the planet's laser cannons. After the loyalist take out other key targets as the order to destroy the entire planetary biosphere and all life upon the world of Darcadia is given, robbing the Bloody Hands of their price of gene-seed stocks within their former Fortress-Monastery.
Discerpo Campaign

The **Discerpo Campaign** was a campaign of retribution launched by the Castigators Chapter against the Forces of Chaos upon the Imperial world of Valst, but ultimately the Imperial forces would be forced to make a fighting withdrawal and launch *Exterminatus* upon the doomed Chaos-held planet so the Ruinous Powers could not claim it as their own.

## History

When the world of Valst was attacked by a massive host of the Forces of Chaos, the Castigators Chapter were called upon for aid. In response they sent their 2nd Company to assist. When they arrived at the beleaguered planet, the 2nd Company penetrated the planetary surface of Valst, near the city of Nisandria. Here, they destroyed multiple defence batteries, allowing three regiments of the Astra Militarum and two Titan Legions to assault the city. But ultimately, the Discerpo Campaign would end in abject failure, leading to a fighting retreat, as the Ruinous Powers claimed the doomed planet for their own. The Inquisition ordered an *Exterminatus* upon the lost world, and declared it *Perditas*.
Fall of Dakvos

The **Fall of Dakvos** was a lamentable campaign conducted by the Invokers Space Marine Chapter to free the besieged Imperial world of Dakvos from the clutches of the nefarious Thousand Sons Traitor Legion. Tragically, the company that was sent to liberate the planet were caught in a deadly trap, which saw many of their number slaughtered. However, the Invokers commander would not be deterred, and with righteous wrath, launched a deadly orbital bombardment that saw the destruction of the Heretic Astartes.

## History

When the world of Dakvos was beset by the Heretic Astartes of the Thousand Sons Traitor Legion, they requested assistance from the Astartes of the Invokers Chapter. The newly appointed 3rd Captain Zephyer Kize led his whole company to the planet, and made planetfall at the governor's palace with all his men at his back, so that action could be taken as soon as a counter-offensive was planned. The moment they hit the ground, they were ambushed by Thousand Sons Heretic Astartes and the forces of the traitorous planetary governor. Kize and a handful of battle-brothers barely managed to escaped to space, where Kize in his grief-born fury, ordered orbital bombardment on all the city centres. The death toll was catastrophic and quickly rose in the billions, only the Thousand Sons' own base was spared, saved by some dark warp magic. Kize led what little forces had of his company into the base, and destroyed it, suffering near total casualties in the process. Only Kize and a single battle-brother survived the campaign.
Defence of the Varonus System

Armorial of the Burning Fate Chapter.

The **Defence of the Varonus System** was a castigation campaign, that was a part of the wider Indomitus Crusade, conducted by the newly created Primaris Space Marine Chapter, the Burning Fate to aid the fortress system known as the Varonus System and cleanse it of neverending waves of Chaos Cultist activity and uprisings. This was the newly created Chapter's first recorded battle honour.

## History

This particular campaign is the first recorded engagement of the newly created Chapter. The Burning Fate was dispatched for their first mission to aid one of the fortress systems that guarded the Segmentum Tempestus for millenia. A non-stop wave of Chaos cultists and unknown xenos species rushed the worlds in order to weaken the borders of the Imperium.

The Astartes would lay boulders bearing explosives in space for the ships to make contact with and detonate them. When the rest of the xenos and cultists landed the tactic known as the Fire Pit was used to burn alive the rest. This manoeuvre being very risky created a medium amount of casualties.
