It is only in recent years that High King Arucatas the Swordbearer has eased the tensions that ensued between the Chapter and the other descendants of the XIII Legion of old. So ruinous was the conflict between the Chapters that the Ultramarines sent representatives to quell the unrest, ruling that the Emperor's Spears had acted rashly and were to blame for the blows that were exchanged. They are barbarian watchmen against the Outer Dark bloodied but unbroken in their long duty.Įven in their relatively short history, the Emperor's Spears have clashed with their fellow Space Marines, notably the Aurora Chapter during the Eukari Insurrection. Now, after hundreds of standard years, the Emperor's Spears still keep their vigil. This backwater sector of the galaxy was once protected by the oath of unity sworn by three mighty Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes - the Star Scorpions, who were undone by flaws in their genetic coding the Celestial Lions, who were ravaged by the Inquisition for sins they did not commit, and the Emperor's Spears. Upon their inception, they were charged with standing sentinel over the scattered worlds of the Elara's Veil region of Ultima Segmentum, ever watchful for insurrection and rebellion, as well as external threats. While records on the origins of the Emperor's Spears are scarce, the first recorded encounter with the Chapter came in 594.M40, suggesting they have been defending the Imperium for perhaps a millennium and a half, making them relatively young by the standards of Space Marine Chapters.Įmperor's Spears Chapter Colour Scheme as displayed by Primaris Marine Veterans of the Chapter.
