Nightkillers: now with added story! A mass eclipse of a handful of sytems' stars, unexplainable in that there was no body eclipsing each sun. But in the skies of each panet, one need only look towards the heavens and see it. A black orb, ringed with fire, blotting out the life giving light. The Occultation was estimated to last only a handful of days, a fortnight at best, but already uprisings were occuring on Carthage Primus, and the hives of Talmus. The loss of sunlight caused catastrophic failures in the forges of Daedris, the solar powered machinery failing and reverting to generators unused for millenia, and under powered to provide the energy needed for the massive motor works there. Lyrics to 'Shot At The Night' by The Killers: Give me a shot at the night Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious / Give me a moment, some kinda. In preparation for the worst, martial law has been declared on these worlds, with PDF forces standing to and enforcing curfews.

Imperial patrols dismiss it as debris and pass so close one could see it with his own eyes, if there was but more illumination. The Revanent Soul, formerely of the Executioners chapter, now under the command of the Nightkillers, traitor astartes and the bastard sons of a dead world, slips ever closer to its prey.+++++Whew. That took a while to type up on my phone, but I am happy with it so far, and I'm curious what my brothers think.
