ManticoraBestiaFidelitas

The Manticora Bestia Fidelitas, a sigil which represents the unity of the three Chapters of the Adeptus Vaelarii.

The Adeptus Vaelarii, better known as the "Sentinels of the Veil," are an alliance of Imperial military forces located within and dedicated to the defence of the Elara's Veil sector of the Segmentum Ultima. Their sigil, displayed to the right, is known as the Manticora Bestia Fidelitas in High Gothic.

The primary forces of the Adeptus Vaelarii was the triumvirate of Space Marine Chapters whose homeworlds were located within the region, including the Emperor's Spears of Nemeton, the Celestial Lions of Elysium IX and the Star Scorpions of Khamun-Sen. These Adeptus Astartes forces were supplemented by the Astra Militarum regiments of the Novaskyr Adamants and the Adeptus Mechanicus forces of the Forge World of Bellona, which was a moon of Nemeton.

Unfortunately, the entirety of the Star Scorpions Chapter was ultimately lost in the Warp, its survivors returning to realspace after the formation of the Great Rift as the Heretic Astartes warband who later called themselves The Pure and commanded the vast army of mortal Chaos Cultists, Traitoris Militarum and mutants known as the Exilarchy. In the Era Indomitus, Elara's Veil was trapped behind the Great Rift in the Imperium Nihilus, completely cut off from travel and communication with the rest of the Imperium. Under these circumstances, after over a standard century of warfare between the Chaos and Imperial forces experienced due to the temporal instability caused by the Great Rift in the region, and primarily due to the sheer size of the Exilarchy forces, roughly half of Elara's Veil is now under The Pure's control.

The Adeptus Vaelarii continue to valiantly hold the line against these servants of the Archenemy, but only time will tell if they will be able to maintain their vigil successfully, for both the Emperor's Spears and the Celestial Lions are now depleted forces trapped on the Imperium's benighted frontier.
