Overview

A feature of this Chapter that witnesses cannot forget is the screeching sound with which their drop pods land during their assault.[2a]
Culture
The chapter has quarantined the Feral World Omyr, possibly using it as a recruitment and training world for their Neophytes thanks to the undeveloped population of this world being hard pressed against packs of disturbingly cunning native fauna.[2b]
The culture that chapter fosters among its chapter chiefs and aspirants is as follows: first, secure your own position; then identify as many ways to advance your cause as are practicable, and ensure that your enemy never finds you predictable. [4a]
Precious gas known as ethcantilal is mined from Gas Giant Tarang. It is a phenomenally powerful ripening agent for a wide variety of natural and genetically augmented grains and astyrlan, a gas exclusively employed in the making of bolt rounds for the Verydian Hawks.[2c]
