The Ultramarines arbitarators also found that the Emperor's Spears had not followed the dictums laid out in the Codex Astartes. Upon further review, the Ultramarines ruled in the Aurora Chapter's favour and held that the Emperor's Spears had acted impulsively. Since both Chapters were Ultramarines Successors, the Ultramarines dispatched a group of representatives to finally end the conflict. Eventually a shot rang out and both sides attacked in an internecine battle, which resulted in even their orbiting fleets unleashing their weapons upon one another and causing significant damage before a ceasefire was eventually declared to stem the losses. Yet even this failed to stop the bickering, as the duel proved inconclusive and both Chapters claimed they had won the duel. This led to a squabble between the two Astartes captains, which ended in an honour duel between both Chapter's champions. Trystance then informed the Aurora Chapter's commander that they had had no right to mark the Battle of Eukari as a victory on their war banners, since the Emperor's Spears had actually carried out the operation that resulted in the defeat of the rebels. Though they suffered heavy casualties, over three solar days of fighting, the Spears killed the rebel Chaos Lord and thus earned the majority of the glory of the battle for themselves. This angered Trystance and he ordered the Emperor's Spears' strike force to deploy right into the heart of the rebels' capital city. The Aurora Chapter commander berated the Emperor's Spears upon their arrival for failing in their responsibilities to guard the Veil and requiring others to fight their wars for them. When the Emperor's Spears force arrived, Trystance discovered that the Aurora Chapter was already fighting the rebels. The Chapter dispatched a strike force led by Captain Trystance to aid the world. As Eukari lay within the region of Elara's Veil, it was within the sphere of responsibility of the Emperor's Spears. In response, its Planetary Governor sent an astropathic plea for aid.
Since the opening of the Great Rift, the Emperor's Spears have been beset by new dangers. No records exist of the Emperor's Spears and Aurora Chapter fighting alongside one another in the seven centuries since. It is only in recent years that High King Arucatas the Swordbearer has eased the tensions that ensued between the Chapter and the other descendants of the XIII Legion of old. So ruinous was the conflict between the Chapters that the Ultramarines sent representatives to quell the unrest, ruling that the Emperor's Spears had acted rashly and were to blame for the blows that were exchanged. They are barbarian watchmen against the Outer Dark bloodied but unbroken in their long duty.Įven in their relatively short history, the Emperor's Spears have clashed with their fellow Space Marines, notably the Aurora Chapter during the Eukari Insurrection.
Now, after hundreds of standard years, the Emperor's Spears still keep their vigil. This backwater sector of the galaxy was once protected by the oath of unity sworn by three mighty Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes - the Star Scorpions, who were undone by flaws in their genetic coding the Celestial Lions, who were ravaged by the Inquisition for sins they did not commit, and the Emperor's Spears. Upon their inception, they were charged with standing sentinel over the scattered worlds of the Elara's Veil region of Ultima Segmentum, ever watchful for insurrection and rebellion, as well as external threats.
While records on the origins of the Emperor's Spears are scarce, the first recorded encounter with the Chapter came in 594.M40, suggesting they have been defending the Imperium for perhaps a millennium and a half, making them relatively young by the standards of Space Marine Chapters.Įmperor's Spears Chapter Colour Scheme as displayed by Primaris Marine Veterans of the Chapter.
