**Kevillon** is an Imperial civilised world and an Adeptus Astartes home world of the Bronze Guardians Space Marine Chapter. Located within the Sanctus Sector in the Segmentum Ultima, this world stands sentinel against constant xenos invasions and random attacks.

## Background

Kevillon is the Space Marine Homeworld of the Bronze Guardians. It is a civilised world with interesting topography. Kevillon would be ideal for an agri-world, but the mountainous terrain and punctuated with fertile grounds in scattered valleys and water sources is not exploited to its full potential. There is enough water and fertile lands for the world to be quasi-self-sufficient but not enough to mass export.

Being on the outer edges of the Sanctus Sector, there is a constant Xenos threat, usually by greenskins, but they are not safe from chaos either. The Bronze Guardians settling in the Sanctus Sector on a highly desirable, strategic planet benefitted greatly the system and the sector. Protecting exports and the people from threats has seen the system flourish and thrive in recent years. The Fortress-Monastery of the Bronze Guardians sits on top of a mountain overlooking the sea. The people of Kevillon have been fighting invaders for so long that they are thankful for the protection and peace that the Bronze Guardians bring to their world. They still know that invasion will continue to happen, but now, they have their own protection against those that would seek to destroy mankind.

### Fortress-Monastery

The Fortress-Monastery, **Pantheon**, is built on top of a mountain, overseeing the sea. It is a large marble square building with a majestic marble staircase. Near the entrance, at the top of the stairs, is a giant golden statue of the Emperor of Mankind. Built to resemble its namesake from Holy Terra, it boasts large white marble columns. The halls are lined with statues of great Marines of the past and present. The halls are vast and extensive and are created to amplify sound. There are two reasons for this. When the Marines must speak, they do not need to do so loudly, and the second reason is a defence mechanism. If an infiltration into the Fortress-Monastery occurs, the Marines standing guard in the halls look precisely like the statues. These Guardians will seemingly come alive and attack the invaders, emitting a deafening scream. The scream is amplified, and the sound is diffused, creating confusion and fear.

The Fortress-Monastery is primarily silent except when it is time for prayers and chants to the Emperor. Footsteps echo through the great halls as the Marines march the white marble corridors. The vaults where the relics are kept are on the lower levels of the Pantheon. These vaults are built into the mountainside and unseen from the outside. The halls leading to the main vault are built like a maze and protected by a dreadnought. It is difficult to get one's bearings in the lower levels. These are sealed off from the general population but accessible to all the Bronze Guardians. Every Guardian has a bronze rope around their waist, which, when tied to the right peg at the entrance of the lower level, will guide them invariably to their relic room.

## Chapter Recruitment

The Bronze Guardians recruit as any other chapter but they have a preference for candidates that display an open mind and possible latent psychic abilities. They are recruiting to bring their Chapter up to the 1,000 Astarte maximum. Recent years have brought about an increase in recruitment and with large scale training, they now have 500 Astartes. It is believed that the Chapter has suffered massive causalities during a massive altercation in the Cadian sector, possibly during the Stygian Civil War. No records were found of their involvement. The Chapter is small but is growing quickly, as the enthusiasm of the people in neighbouring planets to make a change and holding the sector for the Imperium, is great.

Although they are a little particular with in their recruiting practicing, they were able to increase their numbers by 300 Astartes in a short period of time.
