Chapter 0ne.
The Changing of the Guards
Date Unknown.
Planet Cheroun: Harron Blackheart was killed in a freak accident with a
missile launcher. It was thought that he was totally destroyed. Harron was
saved by his dark god. His Dark God then commanded him to return to Hell's
Legion. Baal and Lucifer also vanished at this time.
Date Unknown
Planet Unknown: A black fleet was seen near OUTPOST Adriomian. The Fleet
destroyed the Outpost and was never seen again. IT was rumored that the
Fleet contained over one thousand ships. That was never confirmed.
Date Unknown
Planet Zeta 5: Hell's Legion attacks the planet and steals several ship
plans. Also stolen was a S.T.C. War walker plan. The War Walker was a
class 4 vehicle not considered a major threat by the Tech Priests of Mars.
That Evaluation needs to be revised.
Date Unknown
Planet Zeta 4: Hell's Legion attacked and took over a Forge world.
Production of war machines was stepped up and mass amounts of new vehicles
were created for Hell's Legion for a period of 5 years before they destroyed
the planet from space. It was reported that the "Black Fleet" was seen
leaving that Planet after the orbital attack.
Date Unknown
Planet Unknown: Harron Returns to Hell's Legion. His return was meet with
what was reported to be a sigh of relief as the split factions of Hell's
Legion returned to one Group again. The Galaxy shudders in fear at the
return.
Date M41 300 002
Planet Sol 2: Harron orders a bombardment from space for three days and 2
nights. On the fourth day he sends over a thousand foot troops to capture
the planet. They take the planet with ease. Sol 2 becomes a minor base of
operation for Hell's Legion as Harron orders more War Walkers to be built.
The Imperium has no idea that the planet is no longer under their control as
Harron has the tithes sent out on a regular schedule. It must also be
noted that the population seems to thrive under Hell's Legion control.
Reason Unknown.
Date M41 301 000
Planet Tiger 2: Planet was attacked by an UNKNOWN force thought to be a
sect of Hell's Legion. The Inquisition was wrong. Two days later the
Black Fleet attacked the planet killing everyone on the planet. Several new
War Machines were captured and studied.
Chapter Two. Attack Formations of Hells Legion
The Current Units and War-machines Limit Hell's Legion on some attack raids
Although at times they muster all of their forces to attack a single planet
to take control of it for certain reasons. Such as Forge worlds for their
factories. This is a current break down of the attack groups.
Standard Attack Group 1Hq 2 Troops While this is the weakest
attack group it can be enough to take over small installations and sometimes
take ships if the guards are caught unaware.
Base Attack Group 1Hq 1 Elite 4Troop 2-3 Heavy Support
This assault unit is more equipped to handle larger scale attacks. The
standard choice for the two Heavy Support Units is often Havocs as
Dreadnaughts are less than safe to use for something this important.
Encampment Attack Group 1Hq 2Troop 1Heavy
Support This is the second weakest attack group. Used to take minor
objectives from the opponent. The single Heavy Support Unit is sometimes a
Dreadnaught as these targets are less needed than the bases.
Assault Attack Group 1Hq 6 Troop 2Elite 2 Heavy Support
1 War Machine 2 Fast Attack. This is the Second toughest attack
group. This attack group often has a 99.9 percent chance of taking its
target within a few hours.
Planetary Assault Group 1Hq 6 Troop 3Elite 3Heavy Support 3 Fast
Attack 3 War Machines This is a Rare assault grouping. This Group is
sent to take worlds quickly as possible. Although its large size is
impressive a smaller army may be able to take this Assault Group. This
group may have a problem dealing with unknown strategies.
Defense Force
This is a common group left on a planet to protect the holdings of Hell's
Legion. There are three types of Defense Forces.
Standard Defense Force 1Hq 2 Troops This is a common Defense
Force. They are often without Heavy Support and Fast Attack Support. This
is a highly trained force.
Camp Defense Force 1Hq 2 Troops 1 Heavy Support This
unit is set to Protect a camp or other Important Location. Sometimes they
are set up to guard a person or thing that Hell's Legion determines is of
value or could be used to gain the upper hand against an opponent.
Base Defense Force 1Hq 4 Troops 2 Heavy Support (1 Fast
Attack) This unit protects any Major Base that may be located on the
planet. These are common forces used to protect factories on Forge Worlds.
They are never Caught without Heavy Support sometimes they will contain 1
Fast Attack Unit to aid in swift destruction of the Opponents forces.

I'd suggest changing the name of the planet, as Venus (the second planet in
the Sol system) is wildly uninhabitable.
I'd also change the name of your character Azrael, as it's already in use by
the Dark Angels space Marine chapter.

There are enough plausible theories on how to terraform Venus that it's
likely the Imperium will have succeeded by the 40th millenium. Just
because it isn't habitable now doesn't mean it won't ever be.
Particularly since the Imperium seems to have succeeded in terraforming
Mars and the moon.

Forget 'wildly uninhabitable', amend 'in Battlefleet Solar's back
yard'...

Nope, neither's been terraformed... built on heavily, yes, but never
terraformed. The problem with Venus isn't that it's a harsh
evironment, like Mars, it's that it's an actively hostile
environment...

I'd rather live on Mars than Venus, even
though there are fewer chicks.

Now there's a prison planet for you. Outside the pressure domes and

is a world of blazing heat, choking carbon dioxide, caustic sulphuric

life support ability collect the ore and haul it to Terra or Mars in
an arc that takes a moderately long time by the standards of the day -
lond enough for any escapee to suffocate inside their pressure suit.
Would you put this idea past the High Lords?
I certainly wouldn't...
