Devourer of Life

The ''Devourer of Life', was the designation for an encroaching Space Hulk that invaded the home system of the Blood Serpents Space Marine Chapter. With the majority of the Chapter out on various campaigns and training missions, the purgation of the space hulk fell to the Chapter's elite 1st Company. They successfully purged the massive vessel and ensured it's destruction.

History
Barely a Terran year after the Blood Serpents returned to the galaxy, a Space Hulk designated the Devourer of Life, emerged on a crash course for Astoran. With most of the Chapter out on training missions the only force on Astoran was the Veteran 1st Company, the "Archserpents", led by Captain Karoth. The Archserpents managed to purge the Space Hulk, and detonated it, preventing the infestation from landing on Astoran.
