History

The following paragraphs contain spoilers for: | Space Marine II |
They were among the Imperial forces that defended[1b] the Recidious System, after it was invaded by a Leviathan Splinter Fleet.[1c] Kill Team Primus later answered[1b] Archmagos Nozick Beta-12's plea for aid on Kadaku, after the Xenos threatened the secretive Project Aurora, that Nozick was developing. Because of the Archmagos' call for restrain in defending Kadaku, in order to prevent damaging the Project's facility,[1a] Kill Team Primus was charged with deploying a Virus Bomb to kill the Tyranids.[1b]
However the Kill-Team's Corvus Blackstar was attacked by a swarm of Gargoyles, as they neared the Orbital Launcher Facility that would be used to launch the Virus Bomb. In the battle that followed, the Black Templar Beren was able to hold onto the bomb, as most of Kill Team Primus was thrown from the gunship before it crashed. While he was able to remain with the gunship, though, the others were scattered in the area around the Facility. Though Darius survived the crash, he was attacked by the Tyranids soon afterwards. Without the aid of his fellow Primus members, the Dark Angel was eventually overwhelmed and killed by the Xenos. He was later found by the Kill-Team's leader, the Black Shield Demetrian Titus, who recovered Darius' Bolt Pistol. As he armed himself with it, Titus swore that he would make the weapon roar in the Dark Angel's name. The Black Shield soon became the only member of Kill Team Primus that still lived, but he was able to successfully complete their mission.[1b]
