Night Watch

The Night Watch is one of the Loyalist Space Marine Chapters Founded as part of the Astartes Praeses, the 20 Chapters of Astartes created to defend the regions surrounding the Eye of Terror in the Segmentum Obscurus. The Night Watch is a Chapter of unknown Founding and origin. The Night Watch's home world is the planet Silence.
