The '''{{PAGENAME}}s''' were a technologically advanced human civilisation during the [[Great Crusade]]. They refused to become part of the [[Imperium]] and were wiped out by the [[Space Wolves]] and [[Dark Angels]] in the [[Dulan Campaign]].{{Fn|1a}}
==Culture==
The Dulanians believed themselves an enlightened civilisation, emerging from the barbarism of an 'age of horrors' under the guidance of [[Durath]], whom the [[Imperium]] called the '''Tyrant of Dulan'''. They abhorred the [[alien]], the [[mutant]], and the [[heretic]].{{Fn|1c}}
The Dulanian civilisation's military cadre was known as the '''Faash'''.{{Fn|1a}}
==Technology==
The [[archaeotech]] used by the Faash was based on elaborate fusion technology not fully understood by the [[Mechanicum]]. As a result, Faash machines were universally heavy-set and bulky.{{Fn|1a}}
===Aegis Shield===
Roughly equivalent to [[void shield]]s, aegis shields could only be penetrated by extremely high energy levels and were capable of being restored almost immediately unless the generators had suffered catastrophic damage. The most effective way to penetrate an aegis shield was with [[power weapon]]s or ramming with a void-shielded vessel. Aegis shields ranged in size from those on orbital bastions to the personalised shields of the [[Scarabine]] Mech-Guard.{{Fn|1a}}
===Interference Weapons===
Interference weapons were medium-range ranged weapons that re-arranged matter on a molecular level. The guns discharged silently and were hard to evade, but required time to recharge between shots. They ranged in size from man-portable weapons carried by the [[Scarabine]], to gunnery bays mounted on orbital bastions.{{Fn|1a}}
===Mech-Armour===
The armour worn by the [[Scarabine]] was a form of reactor-driven [[power armour]] with a personal aegis shield. It was ordinarily slightly larger and more cumbersome than an armoured [[space marine]], with more rounded pauldrons and a slab-like breastplate, with twin-barrelled las and interference weapons built into the gauntlets.{{Fn|1a}} Larger variations, [[Scarabine#Leviathans|Scarabine Leviathans]], were larger than a [[Leviathan Dreadnought]].{{Fn|1b}}
===Orbital Bastion===
The Faash maintained orbital bastions over a number of worlds, including [[Ynniu III]]. These bastions were large columns of steel and carbon synthate equipped with gunnery bays of interference weaponry and protective aegis shields. The station on Ynniu III was garrisoned by nine battalions of [[Scarabine]] Mech-Guard.{{Fn|1a}}
===Voidships===
Faash voidships were [[Warp Drive|warp-capable]] vessels powered by macrospeed drives that enabled them to outrun any [[Space Marine Fleet|Legion vessel]] in a straight line. They were equipped with interference guns and often garrisoned by [[Scarabine]] Mech-Guard.{{Fn|1a}}
