Effrit Stealth Squad

The Effrit Stealth Squad were a specialised infiltration unit within the ranks of the Alpha Legion during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy during the mid-30st Millennium and early 31st Millennium. This elite force was formed from those Legionaries that specialised in infiltration, stealth, sabotage and assassination. These operatives were also chosen for their their adaptive thinking as well as their ability to improvise. The Effrit Stealth Squad was akin to the Legion Seeker Squads found within some of the Space Marine Legions, whose principal task on the battlefield was to identify an enemy's command structure, and slay them with a well-placed bolt round while the chaos of battle raged around them. The Alpha Legion are said to have first crystalised this tactic and squad configuration, although its use sat poorly within the combat doctrine of some of the Legions. The Effrit Stealth Squad was personally led by Omegon one of the twin-Primarchs of the Alpha Legion. Little else is known of this elite formation, as the Alpha Legion are notorious for obfuscation and secrecy that surrounds the internal workings of their mysterious Legion.
