Nova guard reboot

[NeroMasteroftheNovaGuard]

The Nova Guard redone

The Nova guard are a 3rd founding chapter of unknown origin, most speculate that they descend from the Novamarines and are of ultramarine linage but the recorders of the chapters true founding have since been lost.The chapter is believed to have been founded some time between M32-M34 under command of the chapters first master Septium Tithies under his rule they reclaimed the Nova system, a system of 13 worlds located in the ghoul stars just beyond the blood moons of thex, In they same system lay the Nova guards chapter world of Nova Prime.Since the chapters founding there has been 3 chapter masters Septium Tithies,Malius Varn and the current chapter master Nero Claudius.

 

The chapter adheres to the rules set down in the codex Astaires nearly to the letter, The only difference being the added roles of each chapters captain. The captain of each company takes on a set title.

 

The captain of the 1st company is always known as "Master of the honor" it is his duty in battle to engage in combat with the commander of the enemies forces and slay him as an offering to the emperor.

 

The captain of the 2nd is always know as "Master of retribution" when not attending to chapter duty's it is his duty to hunt down any enemy who dares to enter the Nova system, should a enemies invade the Nova system the captain of the 2nd is charged with the system defense's it is his choice tactical knowledge the decides if his company is enough to tackle the threat or if other forces or even the whole chapter need intervene.

 

The captain of the 3rd is always know as "Master of war" should a world be lost out side of the system that was once taken by the Nova guard it is the duty of the master of war to take it back, it is he who leads the crusade of the Nova guard in taking of new worlds in the name of the emperor.To be the master of war is a true honor and title not to be taken lightly.

 

(I will update the the titles as I work out the rest of the company's)

 

The worlds of Nova

The Nova system is home to a total of 13 worlds it is the duty of the chapter to protect these worlds as well as taking new worlds in the name of the emperor, The worlds range from the chapter home world Nova prime a Feral world made up a Marshes and mountains populated by tribesmen raised to hunt the worlds most dangerous creature "the skalrak" a large winged lizard that nests in the mountain but hunts for smaller creatures in the marshes surrounding to the Agri world of Tibult I a world populated by farmers harvesting grains to feed the imperium.

 

The people of Nova prime

The chapter world of Nova prime is a Feral world with a population of 242million made up of dangerous marshes and towering mountains.The human population has only recently gained the mastery of gunpowder based weapons although loyal to the emperor the people of Nova prime are simple raised in tribes to hunt the larges predator of the planet "the skalrak".The Skalrak are huge winged lizards with two heads, although the creature has no eyes in senses vibration in the air, has a set of huge scything talons used to rip apart its prey into smaller chucks for its offering, it lives hight atop the mountains in large nests only venturing out to the marshes to hunt.

 

The gates of Varn and Septium keep

Between the two largest mountains deep in the far eastern edge of Nova prime before the ocean lays the gates of Varn two huge metal gates thousands of meters tall and armed with 6 sets of twin linked assault cannons, forged shortly after the battle of Nova prime so that should a enemies force ever reach the chapter keep there would be a force able to lessen the horde, Atop each of the mountains is a watch tower forever maned by the chapters scouts.

Behind the gates of Varn is the chapter keep "the Septium keep" a massive castle believed to have been built by Septium Tithies him self, the cattle is home to new recruits and company stationed when not in service containing training grounds.Inside the castle is the hall of heroes the main hall of the building with massive ivory pilers inscribed with the names and deeds of great heroes of the chapter at the end of which is the plier of prophecy a stone plier with a prophecy written by the Septium telling of a time when "the primach shall stand once more, his descenders shall stand by his side together with the great father for the battle to end all battles in which every marine shall stand as brothers one more in the face of his enemy's" these where the final words of Septium.

 

The flaw

Although the gene seed is stable there are two known flaws, the eyes of marines will gradually turn milky white and the psyhers of the chapter will receive gradually intensifying visions of the future it is believed that this was in fact what happened to Septium on his death bed.Although this is not seen as a major flaw it has prompted the Inquisition to question some of the delisions made by the chapter.

 

"We stand as his angels of death, his warriors and none of his enemies shall stand before our might lest they taste the edge of our blades. No hertic, Xenos or mutant shall escape our cleansing flames.We go to battle to do his humble service we praise him with the blood of his enemies and sing him prays through the roar of our bolter's. We shall do his work until our final breath....Untell death brothers! in his holy name! we are the Nova guard! FOR THE EMPEROR!"

Hero Captain Astraeus, Master of war.
