This a recording of the events above Rotas Prime in the year 112 40th millennium. 1st company battle captain Matthew speaking. I have been requested to lay down these events by the previous captain Yannos who has now been placed within the holy protective bonds a dreadnought but cries out still for the heretics to burn. The Apothacary Thomas has suggested that doing this will help calm his mind.

I begin. Play archived recording 57.

"This is commisioner Warrick assigned to the 56th Vallhalan regiment on the planet Rotas prime. We are under attack from an unknown traitor legion-2nd company-dest---1st company in---reat to main position. Enemy forces are now closing in on our---'WE HATE, WE FIGHT, WE KILL!' 'I shall never surrender!' (gun fire and a sound of slicing and a terrible scream).

This transsmision was recieved three days before we managed to arrive in the system, we were surprised to find that no other regiments or chapters in the area had responded. Our forces were compossed of 3 battle companies including the first under captain Yannos and the bodyguard of the Lion under Chapter Master Avatus. We found that all Imperial forces in the system had been annihilated and that the main city on the planet was burning along with all other smaller towns and settlments on the world.

But that was not all we found; over 600 traitor space marines clad in black and white armour. Our forces descended to the planet amongst an enemy force of 200 marines approximatly. Our battle was long and brutal but we succeeded in routing the enemy, or at least we thought we did. They merely regrouped less than a mile from us and charged in again, even though now they numbered but around 80 they cut through us like a cutting laser through iron.

The Chapter Master himself was forced to take them head-on leaving most of our forces to hold back in reserve. He personally dispatched over 40 of the foe while captain Yannos himself slew 20 of them also while the others were cut down by the bodyguard of the Lion. Even though the last two stood alone they refused to surrender or flee and had to be cut down to a man. I remember myself how the last of them tore of his helm and threw himself at the Chapter Master and tried to bite him in the neck even when he had no weapons remaining and he bore a great cut across his chest.

In the end Avatus tore his head from his shoulders and threw down his twisted form into the dirt. I can still remeber that terrible face; eyes still burning white with pure hatred, teeth sharpened to fangs dripping with an oozing black liquid, his skin pitch black and the star of chaos carved into his forehead blazing white.

But this alas was only the begining of the campaign to drive the traitors from the system.
