Overview
Established during the Second Founding, the Destroyers have a troubled history. Though they have won great victories in the Imperium's name, questions remain regarding the stability of their Gene-seed, and concerns have grown surrounding the sheer savagery of their conduct in battle.[2] This reputation persists despite their heroic self-sacrificing deeds in the wake of a Daemonic rampage in the Lhorgus Sub-sector. For their part, the Destroyers are only concerned with the next mission.[4]
