Chapter history Archive: File 12: -Before the Emporer- to -Chapter Founding-

(Summarized)

Hearlding from the World of Elysium, the story of the Sentinels streaches farther than even that of the great crusade.

<p style="font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:20.98958396911621px;">Elysium itself was located near the edge of what is now known as the Segmentum Solar. Elysium was once a near dead world, with only a few hundred settlers on it. Perhapes that fact alone is what spared them the horrors that befell humanity during its fall. Surviving on what little land their was left, the humans of Elysium and the planet, began a very slow recovery. In 250.M30, much had changed on the planet. Where desolate valleys were all that could be seen, rolling green fields bloomed. Oceans had become vast once more, and even wildlife was starting to appear. But with the coming of life, came the seasons. The Elysians, having been long tempered to the planets once harsh eviornment, had covered the planet, and had achieved a technological level similar to what was known as the 21st century. A change had also come to some of the Elysians as well. For reasons unknown, Humans who were born, or live on Elysium, age slower than other humans, some living for centuries even. It was during this time that more violent species took an interest in the planet. Orks, dark eldar, and daemons of the warp would invade the planet daily. Elysium would be gripped in a massive war for its own survival for 10 years. Near the end, it looked like the humans of Elysium were doomed. During this time, back on earth, the emperor was about to embark on his quest to reunite humanity.

<p style="font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:20.98958396911621px;">Perhapes it was mere coincidence then, or maybe something more, that changed history. A young boy (age 15, actually 65), by the name of Danviues Avian, who had a much longer childhood than normal, recieved a great vision. While he would never reveal what that vision was, or what it was about, that was when the war started to turn. Giving of a power many had never seen, he Alone stood against the armies of disorder, and defeated them. He would go on to be called the Sentinel, the protector of Elysium, as victory after victory was won by his tactical genius and combat prowes. Others would join him in time, forming an army of elite men and women who would fight alongside the sentinel in battle. It was then that the sentinels were born. After a mere 5 years, the last Xeno on elysium had been slain. The last demon sent back to the warp. Having finally earned the peace, Elysium celebrated. However, the work was far from over.

<p style="font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:20.98958396911621px;">Danviues procceded to untie the elysians under a single banner, than pushed for Space exploration. They achieved space flight in under three years, namely from scavenged parts of the orks wreakage. It was among their own sub-sector where   there they discovered the six planets that would make up Sub Sector Elysium. Arigenes: An Agri-world. Crenktus: a Mining world completely covered and filled with metals, minerals, and fuel. Flementis: A long unsused industrial World, Endiris: A hive world, Sentinel: A Death World that would be later transformed into a gigantic Fortess world, and, probably to greatest discovery, the massive Forge world Gigantes, for it held several standard templates, including one for a unqiue Power Armor, which would be replaced with newer interations. This power armor was gifted to each of the Sentinels that had survived the "Xeno wars". STCs were also found for several weapons, including an STC for a modified bolter weapon, meant for normal infantry use. This weapon would become the standard weapon for (and only) Elysian troops, since discovery to present day. But most importantly, were the shipyards around the planet. By 790.M30, the Elysians had populated each world, an empire spanning six worlds. However (starting in 537.M30) this new prosperity had a price, they slowly lost their slowed aging. By 755.M30, they had completely lost it. Only Danviues Kept this ability/mutation, becoming a fully grown man by that time (Age 26, Actual age 605).

<p style="font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:20.98958396911621px;">Turning the planet Sentinel into an almost unconqurable Fortress world. Sentinel would become the new home of, who else, the Sentinels, and the military in general. Having faced the horror of the warp before, the military had been practicing tatics against them ever since, as well as against the orks and dark eldar tactics, Despite neither race comming close to the sub sector again.

<p style="font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:20.98958396911621px;">When the Emporer first arrived in the sector, in 825.M30, he and horus found thousands of  vessels nearly identical to there own had surround his fleet, asking for them to power down weapons, they spoke gothic, prompting a response from the emperor. After much confusion, and the near start of war, the emperor was invited to Elysium personally by one called The Sentinel. While the emperor could not sense a primarch here, he had felt someone powerful was here. Accepting, he, horus, and his honor guards had their landing craft was escorted to a landing pad overlooking the capital city, Avias. When the first gazed upon the city, it was truly a sight to behold. The massive open expanse that made the courtyard of the Main Palace was filled with billions of soldiers, all at attention. When the landing bay doors opened, they group was initially surprised when Power armored figures came out. But they paid no attention to them, simply standing at the edge of the bridge sides, then also stood at attention. Three figures emmerged from the doorway as well, Two more of these unknown astares in gleaming white armor and Long spear like weapons, with bolters attached to the end of them. A secondary bolter was attached to their left arms. However, the man in the middle was who drew the most attention, for he wore no armor at all. Wearing what appeared to be a long coat, he strode up to the emperor until he was close enough for the emporer to see the man's pupils. Horus and the custodes prepared for battle, but were taken aback when the man bowed in front of the emperor, merely saying "An Honor to finally make youre aqcuatince, Emperor of Man"

<p style="font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:20.98958396911621px;">After, the man asked to speak to the emperor about Elysium's intergration into the Imperium, in private. The emperor agreed. After Several unrecored hours, both men came out and announced the Elysiums acceptance into the imperium. The only Requests being the sentinels become their own legion among the Adeptus Astartes, with himself at their head and to be made from his own gene-seed, their own main military force could continue to use their smaller variant of the bolter (and only them),  and that (privately) the sub-sector of Elysium would experience as little change as possible. In return, Elysium Would be completely devoted to the imperium, and complete access to the factories of Flemmentus and Gigantes to the mechanicus, with the exception that at least 25% of the products would be purely for the Elysian military forces. The emporer found this agreeable. And thus, Elysium became part of the imperium, and Sentinels would become the Sentinels of War legion. It was here that Avian First revealed that part of his vision was the coming of the emperor.

<p style="font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:20.98958396911621px;">

<p style="font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:20.98958396911621px;">Chapter History: File 14-D ays as the Legion and the Great Crusade                                                                                                                                -

<p style="font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:20.98958396911621px;">(Summarized)

<p style="font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:20.98958396911621px;"> After the Change from Specialized military units to Superhuman warriors, the Sentinels would take to the stars to face foes fought long ago in the Xeno Wars of Elysium. Now wearing the advanced power armor of the Imperium and turned into some of the greatest warriors seen in the galaxy, the Elysians were ready to exact retribution onto those that tried to destroy Elysium Millenina eariler. However, they were met with scorn from the other legions at first, who saw these marines as inferior to them, being from a gene-seed of a non-primarch. This belief would continue until the Horus Heresy, where many were forced fight alongside them (or against them in the traitors case). Initially, when facing ork infested worlds, they showed a complete understanding of ork tactics (or lack of) and Ideology, that the legion tear through world after world held by the vile xenos, even bringing down one of the largest known ork empires.

<p style="font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:20.98958396911621px;"> Of course, Xenos were not the only enemy that was fought.

<p style="font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:20.98958396911621px;"> Each victory only brought more knowledge of the enemy to the Sentinels. When it came to human worlds, Extensive negotiation with the leaders were made. During these "negotiations" the other sentinel comanders would draw plans for prescision Strikes on the worlds primary seats of government and military leadership, to wipe out the command structure to force a surrender. While the other legions saw this as cowardice and flase victories, one couldn't deny the swift victories it brought. However, much of the time, it was never needed. Many wolrds simply joined after an hour or so talking to Danviues. The man was a grand tactician and a flawless negotiator. But he mouth was not his only weapon. He has proven himself a legendary combatant everywhere the sentinels found battle. Wielding a one of the First Relic Blades with a single hand, letting him cleave through any armor with ease. He also wields an evisector in a similar fashion. Legends say he even fought WITHOUT Power Armor. Many of the primarchs saw him as a pesudo-Primarch, a fake with no real power or talent, he was only human after all, no match for a primarch. As the sentinels were mostly sent out alone, not many of the Primarchs or Space marine legions did see their combat abilities and feats until the horus heresy. THeir were some exceptions, like when Danviues fought Leman Russ on an unrecorded planet, fighting him to a standstill. He was gifted with a Frost blade from Russ himself after that. Their are no "Official" records of any other fights he had with other primarchs until the Heresy.

<p style="font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:20.98958396911621px;">

<p style="font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:20.98958396911621px;">Chapter History: File 15-Horus Heresy and the Battle of Sentinel                                                                                                                                 -

<p style="font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:20.98958396911621px;">(Summarized)

<p style="font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:20.98958396911621px;">It would be the Drop site massacre of Invastan V that would see the first shedding of blood between the tratior legions and the Sentinels of War. Or, to be more accurate, Horus's victory "party". The sentinels had sent two Strike Cruisers to aid in the Ivanstan V assualt on Horus's forces. However, During the landing, the sentinel Forces were no where to be seen, their strike cruisers too had disappeared after the fighting had begun. It is still unknow what had happend, but they would turn up, in an unexpected fashion. A little after horus set the mountains ablaze with his symbol, all of his forces were suddenly fired upon by A hail storm of bolter, laz, plasma, and orbital fire. Thousands fell and before they could regroup, the attacking force of sentinels were already gone. It is said that Horus saw Danviues on the hills. Its also said that he presented an insult so great, that it drove horus raving with pure rage. Although likely superstition, their could be some truth to this, as it may have prompted the Warmaste'rs massive attack on the world of Sentinel in the later stage of the war.

<p style="font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:20.98958396911621px;">-The Invasion and siege of Sentinel-

<p style="font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:20.98958396911621px;">While their were several smaller fleets out in the galaxy, the vast majority of the Sentinels of War's military was concentrated on sentinel and in the Elysium sub-sector in general. Officially, Horus may have attacked it because of the proximity it had to Terra. but, more believe it was retaliation for the insult given at Ivanstan V. Forces from at least five of the traitor legion partcipated, including an overly large force from Horus. Son of horus captain Alalok the Destroyer, a Veteran of both Ivanstan III and V, would lead the force in this assaults.

<p style="font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:20.98958396911621px;"> <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">Full details can be seen in File 10, Battle of Sentinel. The battle would cement the sentinels and their leader as some of the best tacticians and fighters in the galaxy. The traitor force that was sent was wiped out. After this, three experimental vessels were sent to terra. Chapter History: File 16- Terra and the Sentinel (Summarized) It would be during the battle of Terra where the sentinels truly earned the respect of the galaxy. Those three vessels were an experimental design, a ship that could warp into the atmosphere of any planet, delivering billions onto a battle via trillions of drop pods. The first ever record use of the warships was on terra, where after sanguinius cast down the vile bloodthirster, those same vessels appeared above the city itself. Wasting no time time, The sentinel, along with 20,000 marines strong, and 40 million of Elysiums army forces, began to drop unto the planet below, to retake the city and secure it. While details are missing, it is believed that the sentinel did fight horus aboard his flagship, before being forced away from him. After that final battle, the sentinel left, disappearing into the galaxy, leaving only a cryptic message warning: "When thy decendant take thy place, I shall return Elysium as suffers greater than ever before, to lead all in retribution." However, out of the entire Heresy, only a single sentinel had fallen to chaos. A man known only as Crow, it was said he had ties to the Sentinel himself. It is unknown what drew him to chaos, but it is known that the descendent's of Danviues hunt him and his own gathering traitor legion to this day. To this day, the Sentinels fight on, awaiting the day when The sentinel will return, and lead them on the crusade to expunge the Traitor legions, once and for all. Chapter File 17- The Chapter "The enemy matters not, for the Imperium must live" -Chapter saying "To every problem, Their is a solution. For every Solution, their is an Answer. For every Answer, their is a price. The Question is, which price to pay." -The sentinel, 014.M31, The Final words of The Sentinel to Rogal Dorn as the emperor was interred in the golden throne. Is now used as a saying in the chapter. "For the Imperium, For Elysium, FOR THE SENTINEL, FOR THE EMPEROR!" -Chapter Warcry "FOR THE SENTINEL!"- Chapter Warcry Colors:Main: BlueSecondary: BlackSpecial: Gold Emblem: A white or black Angel winged Skull *OR* A Black Skull with white/silver Angelic wings. The chapter was not broken into separate chapters as the others, as they were never truly seen as true Astartes to begin with. However, while they did separate into different chapters, they did not in name. Each new chapter was simply given a number, With the original chapter having none. Currently, their are 15 chapters of the Sentinels, including the original, each in different parts of the galaxy. The sentinels are different in many way of other chapters, One being their recruitment method. Anyone that passes a physical test may undergo a long and deadly training program. If they live, they move on to become neopyhtes.Also, because of the history shared with Elysium, Not to be confused with the *official* planet of the same Name, The sentinels have access to the great forge world and industrial worlds of Gigantes and Flementis. Combined with their recruitment methods, this ensured that The sentinels would be able to replace losses at higher rate than other chapters, in both man power and Wargear. While most of their war gear is similar to other chapters, Many carry the motifs and emblem of the chapter. Unlike most bolters, the Bolters used by the sentinels are known as sentinel pattern bolters. These bolter use the heavier Heavy bolter round, While sacraficing fire rate. This fits perfectly with the Sentinels, as they prefer Precision in dealing with an enemy.Masters of war, tactics are second-nature to these marines. A single sentinel was said to have turned the tide of battle without even firing a shot. Ever since the Heresy, Traitor legions and Dark Eldar hold a larger priority than many other incursions, However, currently, their focus is now on the Tyranid threat. Chapter history File 199-Chapter master Avian Eagle Avian is one of the decendants of the Sentinel, Danviues Avian. Upon birth, any sharing his name takes on the name of a bird from terra, as tradition. Traditionally, those born on Xeno wars victory day, are known as Eagle. Their have only been 2 Eagles since the Sentinels dissapearance. Serving initially with the 9th company of the original sentinel Chapter, He and 50 other battle brothers were captured by Dark Eldar. After twenty standard years, Avain was the only survivor.He Alone escaped the dark city, only to be trapped onto Space hulk for another 5 years. He then made a miracules return when he dropped onto the Jurn system, where the sentinels were cleansing the orks. Avian showed prowse and experiance of even the oldest veterans, quickly beating the ork warlord and 10,000 orks single handedly. He was made Chapter master, as the previous one had died a year before, and debate had continued until Avain came. Avain, Now chapter master Pushes to find the Dark city of the chaos touched eldar that inhabit it, and Destroy it once and for all. Currently, he is engaged with the tyranids.
