“The sudden order shook the entire Ultramarines command deck.

***PRIORITY ORDERS RECEIVED***

***PREPARE STRIKE FORCE GAMMA FOR IMMEDIATE DEPLOYMENT***

***NEW TARGETS IDENTIFIED FOR EXTERMINATION***

***CRIMSON FIST STRIKE FORCE THETA***

From the bridge of the Battle Barge Unifying Might, Brother Captain Orellus had been conducting a Cleanse and Capture campaign that raged across the planet Embus. Though it was little more than a blasted desert, a roasting rock of little importance to the Imperium, the Ultramarines had pledged an oath to the Emperor to hunt purge the alien, the mutant, and the heretic, wherever it breeds. To abandon even the most Emperor-forsaken place was to forfeit the right to call yourself a son of Ultramar.

On the planet below, blasphemous whispers moved swiftly across its sandy plains, spreading madness among the population. The Ultramarines surgical strikes had sealed many pockets of chaos activity, each drop helping to make the planet that little bit safer. They had not asked the Crimson Fists for assistance, but their arrival had coincided with increased Chaos activity on the surface, and so their aid was not unwelcomed… or questioned.

When the order to engage the Crimson Fists came through, questions arose, but they went unanswered. The order was unequivocal, urgent, and final. Deploy. Engage. Exterminate. The Crimson Fists position was well fortified, Orellus knew. These weren’t bloodthirsty humans armed with whatever they could find, nor were they minor Daemons fresh from the warp. On the planet below was a contingent of Primaris Space Marines. Crimson Fists. Sons of Dorn. There would be casualties, there would be bloodshed.

But the order was final.

Emperor, protect us all.”
