→Overview
The origins of the Destroyer Squad lie in the [[Unification Wars]] of [[Terra]]. During the terrible conflict, the enemies of the [[Emperor]] utilized forbidden or proscribed weaponry from the [[Age of Strife]] which many Legions considered dishonorable. Alongside certain factions of the [[Mechanicum]], only Destroyer Squads have license to use such forbidden devices such as [[Radiation Weapon]]s, bio-[[alchem munitions]], and [[Phosphex]]. Normally, Destroyer Squads were shunned and deemed tainted by their Battle-Brothers, while still viewed by Imperial commanders as a necessary evil.{{Fn|10}}
Led by a [[Space Marine Sergeant]], Destroyer Squads were most typically equipped with [[Missile Launcher]]s armed with [[Rad Missile]]s or [[Volkite Serpenta]] as well as [[Toxiferran]] [[Flamer]]s. They also commonly carried twin [[Bolt Pistol]]s, [[Chainsword]]s, [[Phosphex Bomb]]s, [[Rad Grenade]]s, and [[Melta bomb]]s.{{Fn|1}} To better rain death upon their foes, they were sometimes equipped with [[Jump Pack]]s.{{Fn|3}}
