History
Eye of Octos was founded in late M41 on the recommendation of Akrep Xie, an officer of the Deathwatch serving with Watch Fortress Furor Shield. He argued that, in the wake of Kryptman's Gambit, a dedicated Watch Fortress was necessary to monitor the situation in the Octarius Empire and that Furor Shield was not only not large enough, but also not focussed enough, having other commitments elsewhere. The creation of Eye of Octos was approved and Xie became its first commander.[2a]
Since its creation, Eye of Octos and Furor Shield have existed in a symbiotic relationship: whereas Furor Shield acts as a bulwark, responding to incursions from xenos threatening Imperial worlds, Eye of Octos has been the thrusting spear launching attacks into alien territory.[2a]
In M42, a splinter of Hive Fleet Leviathan broke off from the ongoing Octarius War and invaded the nearby Pankallis Sub-sector. Its Imperial worlds called for aid and Commander Akrep Xie has now led Eye of Octos' forces there to aid them.[1]
