Denial 963
Denial 963 was among the Denial Companies the Imperium's War Court created during the Siege of Terra, after the Sanctum Imperialis sealed its doors.[1b]
History
The Denial Companies[1b] were composed of Legionaries who had managed to retreat into the Sanctum Imperialis and Denial 963's eighty three members came from the Blood Angels. They were commanded by Captain Nassir Amit and were among the twenty Denial Companies that Praetor-Captain Honfler led. All of the Companies were initially tasked with defending the Sanctum's Delphic Wall,[1a] until it became clear the Wall would fall to Warmaster Horus' Traitor forces. Before that occurred, the War Court withdrew them into the Sanctum to defend it and the Companies were separated into groups, that were led by their commanders or one of his deputies. These groups were then sent to protect certain sections of the Sanctum and the 963 was among those that defended the Marnix Confluence, under Honfler's deputy Tamos Roch's command.[1b]
