ARMIES OF THE INNER CIRCLE When Abaddon unleashed his 13 Black Crusade the activities of the Unforgiven chapters rose to a fever pitch. Here was the greatest concentration of their brotherly traitor space marines. The opportunity to track and hunt down the Fallen Dark Angels suddenly increased enormously in scope. It was expected that the Fallen would attempt to assault, defile or otherwise try and thwart and distract the Unforgiven efforts in the sector. The Inner Circle was prepared for this and gathered their armies as the clarion call to arms was sounded. Below you will see the might of the most secretive chapter in imperial history.

INNER CIRCLE

DEATHWING COMPANY ARES - GODS OF WAR Grandmaster ZeussS Recently promoted to Grand Master, Ares was bestowed the honour to command a young detachment of Terminators. Numbering only 16 with two Ancient Brothers that provide wisdom of the ages. The duty conferred on such a young force: "To hunt the fallen in all reaches of the galaxy and bring the traitors before the Inner Circle." Although small in number, Deathwing Company Ares has already carved a name for itself within the annals of Dark Angels history. A number of momentous victories have won it praise back on The Rock and sent a dire warning to all heretics and alien beings that choose to stand in the way of its eternal search for the fallen.

STRIKE FORCE METATRON Interrogator-Chaplain Bish Grand Master Belial, I have been remiss in offering my personal congratulations upon your promotion to Grand Master of our order. Supreme Grand Master Azrael has chosen well. It is with great honor and humility that I assume your former position as Master of the 3rd Company. As we embark on this new campaign to hunt the Fallen, I felt it would be wise to update you and the rest of the Inner Circle on the current status of the 3rd Company. Many of those serving in this campaign are Marines that served under you. However there are a few new Marines that you may not be acquainted with. Interrogator Chaplain Bish

STRIKE FORCE RESOLUTION Grandmaster Owen Rees Consisting of Veteran elements of the 1st, 2nd and 5th Companies of Dark Angels, Strike Force Resolution is a newly formed formation currently on Rapid Response duties in the Armageddon Sector, Segmentum Solar. Recent engagements have been at the request of Inquisitorial and Adminsitratum agencies against select pockets of stiff Ork resistance.

CIMMERIAN LEGION - ANGELS OF DELIVERENCE Veteran Sergeant Malyr The Angels of Deliverance are an 11th founding of the Dark Angels Legion and as such were not, originally, knowingly one of the Unforgiven.  The Angels of Deliverance were not aware of the chapters most shameful fall from grace and by extension the knowledge of the fallen. The chapter originally had some similarities with their parent chapter.  One of the similarities is the fact that they recruit from a wide range of worlds as they move around patrolling 'unprotected' parts of space.  Another similarity is their second company, which is made up of their elite recon brothers known as the Ravenwing.

STRIKE FORCE ZADAKIEL Grandmaster Shadowguard The Shadow Guards Space Marine Chapter is a Dark Angels successor chapter, with a force organisation chart slightly different to that of the Codicium Angelus Tenebrae. This is the saga of the Second Company of the Shadow Guards Space Marine Chapter led by the indomitable Master Zadakiel. It focuses specifically "Strike Force Zadakiel" and their part on the events on Kraxus Prime which was a watershed event in the history of the chapter.

BATTLE FLEET ANGELUS MORTIS Interrogator-Chaplain Bish The Dark Angels are one of the few Space Marine chapters that have no planet to call home. Thus their ships become the home they no longer have. They are constantly in use and for this reason must be kept in perfect working order at all time. "I have fought alongside them in battle and the Dark Angels have always had their own agenda. They are arrogant and pig headed and don't know how to relax when the fighting is over. They feel no shame in having insulted my Primarch. However, they are my battle brothers. And I would want them at my back when the Despoiler brings his Black Crusade to the Imperium again. -Wolf Priest Gunnar Hamundarson
