Invisibles

The Invisibles were the elite bodyguard unit of the ruler of the planet that came to be known as Sixty-Three-Nineteen.

Their name is derived from an application of force field technology that gives them their main tactical advantage. They possess a passive application of said technology that allows them to bend light around themselves, making themselves practically invisible, even to Space Marine helmet sensors. However, the effect fails slightly when the user moves, and careful scanning using high-contrast viewing tools can reveal heat-haze type blemishes in the air.

Their weaponry is also derived from field technology, projected as invisible beams of mutilating force that are capable of penetrating Power Armour. They make a distinctive banging noise when discharged. For hand-to-hand combat they use long-bladed lances.

Tall, highly physically fit men, they wore ornate silver powered armour and red silk mantles. They somewhat reminded Luna Wolves Captain Garviel Loken of the Custodian Guard.^1-p.32-34

The Invisibles are chiefly notorious for enacting the murder of Captain Hastur Sejanus and all his glory squad. They were defeated by the Luna Wolves and ordered to be decimated.^1-p.17

Their technology was noted to have been earmarked for reverse-engineering by the Mechanicum.^1-p.117
