Denial Company
Denial Companies were patchwork Companies of Legionaries, from various Space Marine Legions, which were created by the Imperium's War Court, during the Horus Heresy's Siege of Terra.[1c]
History
They were established after the Imperial Palace's Sanctum Imperialis sealed its doors and became the Imperium's last bastion there.[1c] The Denial Companies were given the name Denial and then a number, before being grouped under commanders who were aided by line officer deputies and the leaders of the Companies. The commanders were then tasked with guarding sections of the Delphic Wall, which served as a final defense against the Traitors trying to invade the Sanctum.[1b] However once it became clear the Delphic Wall would fall to Horus' forces, the Denial Companies were withdrawn by the War Court into the Sanctum Imperialis, to prepare for its invasion. They were then separated into groups of Companies, which were led by their commanders or one of his deputies and were sent to guard certain parts of the Sanctum.[1c] By that point, though, Terra had become so infused by the Warp,[1e] that the Traitor forces were able to materialize within the Sanctum Imperialis. The Denial Companies and other Imperials within the Sanctum were thus caught off guard, when they suddenly became attacked by the Traitors, even though its doors were still sealed.[1f]
