	The ironwood trees of [[Helaerus]] stood amongst it all, withstanding most of the heat - until the underbrush and canopy caught fitr, and spread choking smoke through the dense temperate forest. Enemy landers had punched through the orbital defences to land in the deep forest, but they hadn’t known the death world in several hundred years, and the planet made them pay dearly for the trespass.

The Scions of Guilliman answer your call. The Lions of Nemea answer your call.

This time, the comms were opened to the shipmasters of the Fleet, and the other Astartes.

She grasped the rail of the command platform: “Helm, bring us about full. Run out our broadsides, and make to rendezvous in the Capital Hive Orbital Zone with the rest of the fleet.

	The arrival of the hitherto unknown [[Space Marines]] of the Sable Knives Chapter came as a surprise to all but a few individuals within ~~the~~ [[Prosperitas Conclave]]. They had a brief contacted the enigmatic Chapter after an encounter with their vessels near the planet Finisterra in the Rimward Marches. This news came as a rebuke from the Inquisition towards Lady-Governor Durovera - who had previously voiced a desire to return to the world after being driven off by the mysterious Astartes during her first expedition there.

	Perhaps it would be more correct to say she felt ‘alive’ again. After millennia of idleness watching over farmland, letting her skills go unused, the perfect clarity with which she remembered every combat lesson she had ever had, every scrape, every duel, ever battle to the death was a testament to how she had been forged. Every single moment a perfect, crystal-clear memory. As if it had been yesterday that she had stood on Terra, killing and bleeding in exchange for the promise of a pardon that the Avenging Son had denied them.

	Her fingers moved to the unfamiliar ‘Chapter’ icon on her pauldron as she stared at the starfield - her transhuman senses picking across the blinks of light. There was some petty amusement of falsely claiming heritage ~~and heraldry~~ from the scions of Ultramar to obscure their true legion and name. There had been those who had seen the mortal’s suggestion as a grievous insult, which was to be expected; there had been clamouring and shouting, but then again, since when wouldn’t disagreement to be expected when family came together? Her fingers moved to the pelt lining the collar of her power armour - carefully preserved it had been, like her, millennia ago - from a kill she could remember still.

	Life before she was what she had become was but scattered memories - those like her had to be broken before being made anew, but she remembered her loyalty, her bond to humanity still – that was why they had agreed to this venture, why they had left home that had protected them in exile, the place that had given them the peace they had enjoyed for millennia, that no other of their brethren could have, quietly allowing the world to pass them by.

	~~“Sable Knives~~ we may call ourselves now, but never do we forget who we truly fight for. We remember, we remain, we are the living memory forgotten deeds. Make ready for void combat. May your blades never dull, may you always find your way in the dark.” While none voxed back, she could feel them, sense them hanging from each and every of her words: “And let the Great Enemy know…” she smiled and slashed the blade down, as her ship loosed another salvo.		“Lions of Nemea we may call ourselves now, but never do we forget who we truly fight for.

	It is not known the extent of the ~~Sable Knives~~ forces, but alongside a large fleet of sixteen vessels deployed at [[Helaerus]], strike-teams of the Chapter appear in other warzones striking swiftly and then fading before they can be thanked for their aid.

	[[Helaerus]] holds. With the aid of the ~~Sable Knives~~, it has resisted against the bulk of the Regency fleet; but fresh vessels arrive daily, and a number of small fleets and ships have been able to break out of the system’s core-ward jump point. Naval patrols hunt for these wayward [[Archenemy]] vessels before they can threaten the vital worlds of the [[Prosperitas Sector]], or the shipping routes that run from the death-world.

	Rumours from [[Imperial Guard]] forces fighting in the deadly forests deliver report strange sightings – the native saurian trichosaurids are observed to lash out specifically at the Archenemy forces where normally any life in the forest would be their rightful prey. Perhaps even more bizarre are the reports of [[xenos]] humanoids riding the trichosaurids – tall tales of humanoids resembling terran toads armed with both primitive and advanced energy weapons. These rumours are heavily suppressed within the Crusade forces by the Officio Praefectus, the [[Commissariat]], but are passed on to the [[Ordo Xenos]] representative in the [[Prosperitas Sector]], [[Lady-Inquisitor Duplesis]].
