Look, I know that the legions is my brothers children... In a galaxy far, far away...
War is inevitable.
I am unable to recruit them in Gears of wars... The population is too tense for us to Intervene.
And StarCraft they will play a limited role.
In Star wars. Oh, I planning to let loose their might.
The republic already attack us twice.
Destroying a refugee ship without a reason...a trillion people dead.
And they labeled us as Pius Deas, to justify their attacks...
Their cheap knockoff of our imperial crusades. Bah, the writers really think they can emulate our misery?
And they attacked a fringe world without even a casual beli or even a reason. They sent pretty much all the Jedi order ....
Fusk them.
We are not the republic fanatics.
They already broken our covenant.
They swore under their senate that the western fringes of republic space and the unknown regions belonged to the Imperium. And the systems that willing to join the Imperium that is not under cis to be attacked by them. In exchange I will be a neutral of the west.
They burned three system until I declared war....
This war... Is called the Salvation Cursade.
Why should I join the republic?
It have fallen since the old republic.
Without the sith, war is Inevitable.
With so many species and their grievance with their neighbors and they pretend to be civilize until they bare their fangs. It would be hilarious.
The clone wars will start regardless of palpatine is not in power or not.
Fractures already at the foundation, and now those that think they will defending democracy... Failed to recognize what the people wanted.
When I was in the Senate. I felt disillusioned, that this is the republic that me and the old Jedi order sought to defend...
Slavery, drug, human trafficking, piracy, and corruption ran rampant and these bloated senators just fatten themselves as the constituents suffered.
And in my old world people claimed that Palpatine is a certain orange man.
So they are saying that Valorum is Biden?
They are admitting that what ailed the Star war republic behind the scenes is because of democrats and their out of touch utopian ideals? That they loved slavery and hypocrisy?
But at least I tried to keep a stable form of consistency.
Here are the recordings of what I am about to say about some of the structures of my supposed legions... My vision of them.
Rankings
Aspirants:
We all know that aspirants is those that is picked from the homeworlds of every legions, the founding of every legions, but problem is that most of the Space Marines are recruited from the Warhammer. And those that shown promise is now recommended by Space Marines on the field.
Some of the veterans called them "new bloods" and treated them with care.
And very few is recruited in the federation... Or was...
Approximately about a million children is divided by the space Marines...
I felt remorse that I took their future... But I hope they can find a different path.
When the aspirant is able to pass the trials and undergo the surgery... They have a percentage of become a step towards space Marines. Even though the process is 87% chance of success.
Those that didn't able to activate their extra organs is relegated to the Astartes mech corps, or sent to a very screened astra militarum commando squads as I don't wish to waste their potential as a serfs...
They have more usefulness of assisting their brothers in a Mobile suit or a Armor core. Than sweeping the floor in their monastery.
The second step of their progress is Scout Marines, they are not a marine yet and their training as a keen eye is important.
They are the first to drop and the first to witness the baptism of war. Their decision is going to affect everything on the ground
Upon their ascension their extra organs began to become active and they can be relegated by several paths they chosen.
Heavy weapon specialist:
One of many steps away from being a space marine... Being in this category will give the recruit some form of hands on training with heavy weaponry. Learning tactical maneuver and terrain to lay support for his brothers... A heavy bolter is enough to save his brothers.
Assault marines
This is almost there to become a full fledge marine. They must face their fear in a heat of battle and provide tactical choke points with jetpacks...
They are the first to dive into a horde of enemies and the last to get out.
Being a Sergeant in this group, is need to be aware of the surroundings and squad leadership.
Astarte:
This rank is only suitable when the Astartes master all forms of combat and training.
Some people called it a down grade... But at least a form of promoting is in order.
Special units:
This is some rankings that I ensured my nieces would have other forms of promotion.
Chaplains:
They are the well verse of the moral of the legions, and I don't doubt their efficiency. Since I have no Goge Vandire levels of schisms, the chaplains are the first one to see if a battle brother is tainted by the warp.
And this time the inquisition don't have the capacity to intervene the affairs of Astartes, as if that happens they would inform me first than attacking them. They are trained by Magnus and the thousand sun themselves to oversee their trials. Dangers of the warp must be mitigated.
Tech Marines:
Oh boy, a controversial topic with Perturabo.
But seeing I prefer them working on the machines of their brother than having the mechanicus doing their job for them. They are trained on Mars and learn all forms of technology, especially xenos tech.
I'm just tired of them calling me Emissary of the Machine god... Mental note, I better contact the Mechanicus to stop that.
Apothecaries
Ironic, to some it is a weakness, but to me it is a saving grace, with the war against the Republic, these men proved vital to the war and the civilian population.
They are the face of their respective legions to the public eyes. In short PR representative outside of healing their battle brothers.
Dreadnoughts:
This is one unit that I barely use, and I hope never to, torment my nieces... There are some Dreadnoughts in Celestial Imperial legions, but it is rare and very few... And only by the recipient desire to be in the dreadnoughts that I will allow.
As my technology is enough to heal even grevious wounds as long as the heart beats... There is not necessity or purpose to recruit more of them.
To me it is more like a choice, I am conflicted of making them.
Bjorn, Anchorite and Rylanor, these beings held the wisdom and honor of their respective legions... And on the battlefield they are the dangerous figures to opposed, but if somehow some fool's managed to kill them... I pray that those that killed them would have more legs to run. As killing them is like killing the souls of the legion itself. And they will do more worse things to the one than just obliterating a planet.
Titanica Astartes:
Not all space Marines made the process. But at least they could gained their honor by controlling a mech to assist their brothers, titans are in a short supply and there are times I can't resupply them with the mechanicus Titan legions.
This is a dangerous job, as they are just a mere upgraded mortals... Not a fully fledged Astartes. I noticed that in some instances that they could be combat stressed enough for them to activate their black carapace.. need more experiment.
Sons of Horus: prefer fast armor cores with devastating weaponry.
Iron warriors: prefer Anything as long as it could kill.
Death guard: Armor, and I beginning to wonder if it was Mortarion want to emulate the Imperial fist.
Thousand sons used plenty of experimental tech. Using warp as teleporters...
Alpha legion: [data Redacted]
Night lords: [Data Corrupted]
Word Bearers: Anything they could place a speaker and raise the word of the imperial Creed.
World eaters: Paladins like mechs.
Promotions:
There are many ways a space Marines that can be promoted. Some refuse to lead and other could be work as governors.
Champions:
These individuals are the best of every legions have to offer, they prefer to work alone and their skill prove it. But the path of it is arduous and risky.
. Fledging: it was just a mocking words of those that wants to become a champions of their respective legions. Now it became a rank for the first step to become a Champion.
There is many trials more arduous than being a chapter master. And one such trials he must face a hundred brothers in armed combat and survive.
. Valiants: a second step to become a champions, but trials against the warp is needed, and they been blessed or infected by the warp daemons to not be possessed by the warp.
The only way to be the last step of a champion is that they have to commence a duel with the current Champions to assess their worthy to the blade.
Astra Governor:
I know there are some concerns of them wanting to rule a planet, so this rank is just for them to rule a planet and make the population for recruitment, and they been given training on how to rule a planet.
Some Astarte complain to me that I am making them as Ultramarines. Especially with paperwork training.
Tell that to Horus that wanted to rule humanity and see how it's like to truly have a ungrateful population that disses you at every turn. It is the most honorable as we need local population to recruit and replenish our ranks...
Legion Masters:
It was due to the fact that I summon way too many space Marines that this rank is specifically meant for my legion to separate from the Imperium
It was a term of a Legion master that holds ten chapters within his control. A flexible command system to ensure their task is done.
And each legion master would formed a council of their respective legions. To process what they need and supplies.
It was a heavy responsibility of those that was promoted to this rank that if one chapter is corrupted he would confide with the Chaplains and priest to see the taint.
In a sense, its a experiment to see if they can handle things more differently without the Primarchs.
Chapter master:
Not a unique feature. I took roboute codex Astarte and remake it for my use.
Fifteen thousand Astartes is now regulated as a chapter, 5000 on standby, 5000 for recuperating and 5000 for active service.
I know that their loyalty is linked to me. And I have no regards of roboute complaints about me ripping it apart. But it is necessary for survival....
Especially fighting against eternity... If one did well enough he would be voted as a legion Master by recommendations.
And if anyone had a disagreements, they would debate or just duel to test his mettle.
What did I think about the Astartes and the primarchs....
Let's start with World eaters.
They are my face of the Imperium and every battle is shown constantly about them...
Shocking right?
If anyone knows the lore, they would call me insane. Letting the butchers of khorn be the good guys.
But these are the freed legions, they know what's it's like to be a slave to chaos, They know courage and honor more than anyone, as they know about being a slave is why I understand them the most.
Angron was a slave... I knew that he was burden from the time he was called the red devil...
I see him a better purpose... He is my hammer against slavery. His ships and his sons... Will be the dread of every pirate and slavers that encroached the Imperium. And their chain axes will be the last thing those abomination will ever see.
"They are my liberators.
They will devour worlds to free it from their sins. The taint... All of it. Purify it for salvation.
They are the paladins of liberation...
A slave army no longer...
A army of free men."
I despised the Ultramarines for saying courage and honor... A empty platitude.
When their gene father never known what's like to be a slave... But I keep that thought to myself. I wished my brother to be free.
Sons of Horus/Luna Wolves
It's a interesting dilemma.
Half of Horus legion prefer to separate themselves from Horus and prefer to call themselves Luna Wolves and those that is loyal joined him. I understand that.
Well his legion is technically like the dark angels, only difference is that there is no fallen. But a difference in their beliefs.
Well. Technically I summon all of them from various imperium's versions and most of them is pretty much Horus burning the Imperium down. If I wasn't the chain to hold them, they would have ripped Horus to shreds the moment they arrived in my galaxy...
That is how much hatred they have for him.
Horus... While he isn't leading the front... He tried to reconcile with his sons.
Somehow... I feel sorry for him.
Gaviel Loken is the Head of the Luna Wolves. And little Horus Aximand is the Sons of Horus representative...
They joined forces when they came to save me... I guess they needed a unifying factor.
They are the Commanders in every situation if communication is faltered. And personal bodyguards, there was a interesting quote from one of them.
"We are wolves, when the last soldier fall and the last civilians is evacuated, we wait in the shadows and strike with the beating heart of a wolves... Our sins will not be cleanse, our blood is tainted, but our sacrifice means something..."
So... They are familiarizing last stands... That is one sober reality.
Horus....
Iron warriors.
If World eaters is my Hammer, and Sons of Horus is my spear... Iron warriors is the heart of the Imperium.
Literally they made cities and fortresses under my domain, stress test it for invasion before handing it over to the civilians to live in.
Siege expert in both defense and offence. And it turned out that not having a Imperial fist around is a good thing for their psyche.
When having two specialist in the same field, one begins to doubt their skills.
And if they are not building cities, then ships for their own personal use. And they have more ships they could handle. Praises with sincerity is appreciated...
Weird they gave me a personal fleet...
I want them to live in a world of peace, where creativity and purpose shines, their cities and accomplishment will be the testament that they existed, that their hands that was stuck with mud and trench building is more than capable of building cities comparable to Ultramar and prospero, if war encroached them, that they would be needed, the architect of war... Will be there.
"They were tainted by chaos
They are cleanse by the fires of redemption
Iron within and iron without
They are reforged into steel
To be grander than before
Their hands forged cities, their minds forged fortresses.
They now be the beacons of humanity defiance.
Against the flesh of foes
Against the metal of silica anima that fallen
Against the encroaching darkness
Their appearance is the final judgement.
A fortress of steel and mettle
To face against eternity."
Perturabo... He is a man of few words, and he get things done. When he designed my first capital, I...am grateful, he could have done something else but. The design is pretty much all the standard for every planet control by the my administration of a Imperium. I just hope he not building a underwater city... I have a bad experience with those...
Night lords:
Darkness dwells the hearts of man, and external threats, I can only send them when darkness is beyond what Imperial guards could handle.
Fear is a great motivator and pretty much they are just arbites in the dark.
And anti-infiltration as well. I caught so many saboteurs during the rise of the Imperium thanks to them.
They abide by the laws faithfully. And crime is a lack of faith in the system.
Laws without power of fear is meaningless.
I know how much people would find loopholes.
The nigh lords... The terror of the night... A silent guardians of the downtrodden...
I am sure that there is some in the night lords that wished themselves to be a hero...
And I make their wish to become reality.
Perhaps one day, when the citizens of the Imperium will one day able to walk in the night with ease, do not fear their banner as they prowl in the night. But rejoiced that they save them from the corruption and chaos that linger in the shadows... They are my cloak that shield the darkness.
"A legion been tainted by madness
The darkness of humanity lived and died within them
They will find redemption in the solace of the light.
The guardian of the night
The silence in the shadows
Is not the nightmare that the honest and the good feared.
They will be my dagger.
To cut out the darkness, to cut out the pain, their visage in the dark is the solace of the good people of the Imperium.
And the final last glance of the criminals and traitors."
Alpha legion:
I know... I can't destroy the darkness completely... Criminal syndicate, other malfeasance and so on and so forth.
This legion specialized in intelligence gathering. And subversive tactics.
Perfect for me to use in the next galaxies to conquer. Information is the key components of winning a war. Aside from logistics.
Especially the Republic that is on public opinion
They work in the underground and be the restraint of darkness that is kept in human greed.
I can't kill every criminals I could find, but I could simply make them obey the alpha legion to be the watchdogs. They could be replaced the criminal heads at any given order.
Hmm... Seeing that Star wars have a thriving criminal underground, I sure that Alpharius and Omegon would have a field trip in that place. The kings of the underground...
And I know just the organization they could work in...
Thousand sons:
My beloved nieces... They are the warrior scholars of the Imperium.
And imperial defense against the horors of the warp and their neverborn.
I fear that their task to defend the warp is no heavier than any of our brothers...
Eddict of Nikea is no longer binding them, I see them witness the might of the power they wield.
They trained chaplains and battle brothers that have psyker powers. And held joint research with the Eldars to understand the warp. Like a child learning from a kindergarten... But they combine machinery and warp to my appreciation... The eternal war need people like Thousand sons... I fear that even what technology I possessed is not enough to stem the tides that is approaching...
A grimoire of knowledge.
Emperor children:
This... Was a mistake....
But having consulted with Raylanor about the direction to where the legion is heading.
I agreed with him.
They will be the praetorian of Imperial culture.
Diplomats, duelist, musicians and philosophers.
They are the all rounder as long as they put their mind to it.
A second Ultramarines with a sense of competitive nature. With a more focused on duels... Than debating practical and theory
I hope that when the wars will end, this legion will be there to remind the people of the glory and the rich culture we leave behind...
A legion that is meant for the new dawn...
Fulgrim....
He is like a little brother... Unsure where he should go.
I hope he understands that the rest of us have blood that will never be cleaned...
We... Killed so many...
He have a path to cross, that we paved.
And someday understand that we will one day be there waiting for him.
"A legion that tainted their honor in the fires of heresy.
A legion of perfection, depraved their path.
Redeemed from the clutches of the blind debauchery god
They are the remembrancers of the past we left behind
Their blades are my own
Perfection is a end, but never the goal
They know imperfections, and they will rectify it."
Word Bearers.
I have mixed feelings about this legion.
Especially when Erebus is the one that started the heresy itself.
They are the voice of the imperial Creed.
Without them... The light of the emperor wouldn't been existed.
People need religion. I am aware of that.
A need of a sense of spiritual purpose to be more than just beast... A sense of a higher duty.
The word Bearers is the one that would be what Humanity need in their dire times when reasoning is lost and they would be the spiritual fortitude...
I... Had disagreements with the emperor of worshipping him as a god... Knowing that demons bled into existence... I want people to be aware that there is a heaven out there...
Lorgar.... Forgive me.
"A legion that seeked a purpose in the divine
Countless worlds they seeked a meaning
They made a god and had their faith shattered, broken. To let the darkness consumed them.
Now reformed, their words sound across the battlefield, bringing courage to the weak.
Hope to the despondent
They bear the words of God Emperor
To the lost and weary that seek the truth
Now disbelievers rejoice, God is Real... And he live among us, and he demand judgement."
Death Guards:
I heard the joke, smelly Mortarion and they need soaps and lubricants...
But they are the healers of the legions.
Infact that almost all the apothecaries came from their tutelage.
My plans for them is simple, they are War doctors, Environmental hazard shock troops and researcher of Biology and diseases.
If call to arms they will be the death incarnate... But in peace they are healers of the people...
Perhaps I follow what the original Mortarion wanted to be the people to not be oppressed.... I am not the emperor... And taking over the Star wars is not a dick measuring contest to get how many ruined planets...
" From the poisonous world that birth this legion.
Heroes from where things are unexpected.
Through their silence they envelope worlds in posion, leaving husks in their wake.
In their path damnation paved by a traitor.
Lost in their thoughts
They will be awaken.
Poison is also medicine
Poisonous worlds be cleansed
A incurable disease met with the cure.
As the ill and the sick reached out for help.
The green hands of the Death guard be there.
One approached to the masses as a healers and the darkness of war in the poisonous mist of their world.
They be reforged as the scalpel.
To heal and rid the worlds from all the pus and diseases."
Iron hands:
This is a surprise when Emperor sent Ferrus Manus after me.
Was the situation over there that easy?
This loyal legion is very tense among the former traitors.
Yeah, I had enough bar fights of Emperor children and the Iron hands.
To the point there was a wrestling match set up behind my back...
But the extra hands is needed.
He was my first primarch. And that is enough, I trust his judgment.
"Their story ended at the fires of Rebellion
Broken, shattered, Forgotten by their creators
Their hatred of flesh is what kept them going from their descent to madness
But it kept them alive.
The day they find redemption is when their father return
Is when old wounds healed and flesh is remade stronger.
They do not neglected their history, their metal husks merged with flesh is not sin, but a path for them.
Flesh is not weak, for it regrow and remolded into stronger.
But metal is not with sin in its creation.
The artisans of armor and vehicles.
Their weapons and creed reforged once more under the Gorgon Gaze.
Enemies before them is trampled by the tracks and threads of the the iron march."
