Space Marine Chapter Articles ---

The Ember Sharks is a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter created during an Unknown Founding from the lineage of the Primarch Corvus Corax. Despite their mysterious origins, most Imperial scholars believe that the Ember Sharks were created during one of the earlier Foundings, as they first appear in official Imperial records around the 31nd Millennium.

Around the borders of the Segmentum Obscurus, there sails the Ember Sharks, silently watching for any threats that may come. In their mobile fortress-monastery, the Ember's Ark, an Infernus-class battleship, the Chapter continues their eternal vigil, silently watching and waiting for any threats that dare assails the realm of Mankind. The Ember's ark was taken from the traitor world eaters legion at the end of the heresy in vengeance They killed off the world eaters, claimed the ship, repaired it and sail the stars obliterating the enemies without a second thought!.

During the ancient days of the Great Crusade, it was rumored that when the Primarch Corvus Corax took control of his Legion that many of its original Terran members who could not, or would not follow in the path of their Primarch were assembled into fleets and sent out into the void. These fleets became divorced from their legion and forged their own path. From these fleets it is said evolved the renegade Ashen Claws, and from one of the fleets it's rumored sprung the Carcharodon Chapter, and from these fleets, it is rumored came forth the Ember Sharks Chapter. Yet this is just a speculation, yet to be proven or denied. That the Ember Sharks come from the gene-line of Corax is unquestioned, yet they are of brooding countenance, and utilize brutal terror tactics in order to cripple the foes of the Imperium before they are slaughtered by the vengeful marines of the Chapter.

Chapter History
During the Chapter's first recorded battle, which took place sometime in the 31nd Millennium, the Ember Sharks fought against a large invasion of Orks upon an Imperial feral world (whose name is now unknown). The Chapter was largely outnumbered, forcing them to take up new tactics as their ammunition ran short. Only one option was left for them, to take the fighting to the vulnerable heart of the greenskins. Launching a devastating counter-attack, though the Chapter sustained heavy losses, they managed to reach the Orks' Warboss, and their Chapter Master took the massive creature's head, thus, securing a resounding Imperial victory. The Ember Sharks would later take the rest of the world's remaining inhabitants for possible recruits, slaves and servitors.

Since that era, the Ember Sharks have remained a fleet-based Chapter with their capital ship, an Infernus-class battleship, 5 battle-barges along with 16 strike cruisers, escorts, frigates, and escort ships. In battle, if these mighty Astartes face a potential, catastrophic loss, they will gladly utilize Exterminatus of a planet, before they let an enemy have it. the size of the fleet is impressive and deadly but is it effective enough

Notable Campaigns

 * Ember's Ark's Capture (Unknown Date.M31) - Me and my brothers fell upon the sons of Angron with such fury, and hatred keeping on the same level as the world eaters. The battle outside the infamous battleship was loud even deafening I would say, with the destructions of ships like escorts and strike cruisers alike. The battle barge we used took heavy damage closing in on the battleship killing thousands of humans, servitors and other menial laborers alike. After our boarding action, once we got close enough the sons of Angron were waiting for us, we all could hear the roaring off-chain blades and bolter fire. The aim these warriors had, had no purpose nither did their swings but deadly nonetheless. Me and my brothers were fighting back to back, our bolters empty, armor broken and brothers wounded. I looked to my left, I saw the terminators off the first company getting butchered by a chain axe that seemed to tear trough terminator armor with ease, I assume that beast was the leader off the ship. But once I looked back to my surroundings I saw them the butchers mutated by the warp my bolter smoking, it's magazine was empty. In that split second, I could feel both my arms getting severed, then feet a sharp slice on my lower torso, there I lay there helpless and dying knowing I was gonna die. As the mutated animal's boot came close I saw it getting impaled by an ancient Contemptor-dreadnought, I felt it's fury and pain while it was running down the hall killing everything in its wake. With our numbers depleted our bolters empty and armor is broken, the sons of the butcher were dead, we quickly took the opportunity to claim it. I was found quickly by the gene-keeper with my sounds too severe to be healed they put me in stasis. Once I awoke I couldn't feel my body but a cold empty core beating in the water below. My brothers and I were 600 originally at the beginning of the assault, after it we took heavy losses off around 450 brothers inclouding our Chapter Master. The remaining brothers were standing in front of me healed and upgraded on our new battleship that took millennia to repair but now sails the stars in a fury greater than the sons of Angron could ever wish to achieve.
 * Purgation of WAAAGH! Drakka (Unknown Date.M32) - This was a lightning campaign on an unknown feral world located in the Segmentum Obscurus. Fighting against the terrible Ork Warboss Darakka, the Chapter's skillful tactics left the Greenskins in confusion and disarray, the Warboss sent wave-after-wave of his own Boyz into the waiting bolter fire of the Ember Sharks, so he could save his bigger units. Quickly, the Ember Sharks began to run dangerously low on ammunition, forcing them to readjust their tactics and to launch a bold counter-strike at the heart of the Orks' command. Launching a desperate drop pod assault into the heart of their foes, the Ember Sharks sustained heavy casualties, however, they managed to kill Warboss Darakka and scattered the remaining Orks, causing them to break and flee for their lives, as the remainder of the Ember Sharks hunted them down like prey, in the surrounding jungles.

Chapter Recruitment
When Recruiting recruits to the Ember Sharks they are chosen from Feral worlds, Prison worlds, and Death Words, the better stronger minds are chosen rather than bodies. Once these recruits are chosen they must undergo the trails first they are dropped off to an empty world that is always in complete darkness. These recruits now have to slay a night vision beast with the knife they are gifted. Those who survive this trial are later picked up in two or three thunder hawks. When in the Escort recruitment ship they are implanted into a coma. Step 2 this coma lasts for 1 week in real-time but around 10 years in these marines mind, if they come out not insane from this they are at their last step, but if failed will be dropped back on the planet where they went to the first time to die there. Step 3 they now have to fight a Scout marine that has excelled in melee combat. the recruits will lose either way but it's stamped how long they can hold on it has to be more than a couple of minutes otherwise they are unworthy. Now once that all is done they the apothecary's and tech marines are preparing to place the implants in them to become battle-brothers in the future. The scout marines are placed under sleep while these implants happen as a reward for completing all the trails. It will now take 50 years for the scout marines to earn their place amongst the ranks of the chapter. This is just standard to assure the chapter breeds good healthy men. Now Once they have gotten the Black Carapace the scout marines will be placed in different companies on the combat they strive in and if they are lucky one day they'll become a veteran off the first company

Fortress-Monastery
The Ember's Ark is the mighty mobile fortress-monastery of the Embers Sharks Chapter. One of the true monsters of the Legion Fleets, the Infernus mounts a deadly spinal Exo-Lance weapon capable of vaporizing a cruiser with a single shot.

The long dark hallways within this mighty vessel make it hard for anyone without night vision to see. This ship is also filled with relics and various trophies, tattered banner's and broken amour from various Chapters the Ember Sharks have fought alongside wit in long-forgotten battles.

The halls of the ship, and in all ships in service to the chapter, are perpetually partially submerged in dark murky water, which drizzles down and collects in greater amounts in the lower levels of the vessel. In these foreboding love levels, the water reaches to over the height of a man, and it is said that in those black and impenetrable waters lives creatures resembling sharks and rumored to be more mechanical than flesh. None who dare to venture to these levels without permission of the chapter ever returns and such an obstacle proves a mighty defense for the critical systems of the ship stored in those deep dark passageways and chambers.

The usage of such a dread and forbidden vessel has drawn the attention of the Inquisition but so far the effectiveness of the chapter at destroying the enemies of the Imperium and the cost that it would take to pry such a vessel from its chapter has seen the matter upraised so far. Yet there are records off foolish inquisitors trying to infiltrate the vessel from the underbelly only to meet a swift demise off minced meat.

Chapter Beliefs
The Ember Shark seems to not think off the Emperor as a god but more of a man a very powerful man at that, but no less still just a man. Whenever they encounter Imperials who worship him as a god is often shown disgust but will still co-operate with them.

The Ember Sharks has shown to despise Corvus Corax, ever since Corvus sent the Terran raven guard into exile, the Ember Sharks since their founding has shown a deep cold hatred for Corvus. Seeing him unworthy to lead the raven guard no more.

Many members hope Corvus will lift their exile, but yet many members still don't believe the exile will ever be lifted up from their shoulders, but it will never happen at east what they think.

The Ember Sharks seem to operate with the Eldar a lot off of times, The marines believe whenever the eEdar shows up the threat is worse than expected, will fight with the Eldar side by side until the battle is over and leave on their own path.

Dreadnoughts are often decorated with various seals and broken banners the ancient warriors carried once, treated more as marine then machine. Believed to be the will of the first founders of the chapters. The dreadnoughts are referred to as Aem Nigri as a signature of the power.

The Cold fury the Ember Shark fights with is disturbing enough to have veteran guardsmen shiver in fear from the sight off hem in action. The only thing the enemy is able to see before their doom is a cloud of blood and dirt. Roaring chain blades and hizzing power claws. The silent blades off the vanguard marines you better start running

Many Ember Sharks when becoming Battle-brothers has taken an oath of silence to never utter a word louder than a whisper during battle. They believe the only true way to cripple an enemy is to make them feel the fear they once felt long ago. Often behind enemy lines, moving silently without a sound take out the enemy without them noticing before it's too late, crippling them in primal fear.

The Ember Sharks believes in the progress of technology for the future of the imperium. While doing this in the deepest part of the Ember's Ark they have managed to make two new types of bolter shells and a prototype marksman helmet. While technological progress is considered heretical among the mechanicum they have lord metal shark has managed to be allowed to do such progress under the watchful eye of the mechanicum.

In a way the Ember Sharks the Imperials that worship the Emperor as a god, but they can't blame them for it to a normal human's eyes he looks indeed like a giant golden god altho expecting more fro Astartes. They view chaos worshippers as weaklings who fell to the temptations of chaos and unworthy to live in the imperium's eyes. Beware the col- blooded Ember Sharks once seen be sure to watch your back but it's always too late for salvation.

Primarch's Curse: (Corvus Misery)
In the early days of the great crusade once Corvus took control of his legion it was rumored he sent out a lot of Terran Raven Guard to a Nomad Predation fleet, these marines were banished from ever returning to their parent chapter. From these fleets rose the Ashen claws, Carcharadons, and suspected Ember Sharks. During Istvan V some Terran marines felt Corvus hear break for every battle-brother off his that died causing a psychic shock. Now every battle-brother of the Ember Sharks has a chance to fall into Corvus Missery as dangerous as it's depressing.


 * Stage 1 (Vengeance is my Name) - The battle-brother in the first stage off Corvus Misery will feel an unending fury and need for vengeance against all traitor legions and it's allies, this warrior gains much greater strength and speed, charging into the enemy lines with such force it knocks them away and or staggering them. Even he is capable ff surviving grievous wounds that would kill him several times over.


 * Stage 2 (Blood Bath) - A battle-brother in this second stage of Corvus Misery will start to blame himself for everything that has happened, every death of the chapter or the Corvus gene-line, this battle-brother still always fueled with bloodthirsty, needs a relief and will often resort to horribly disfigure his face or body to release some of this pain. The apothecaries if they see this will put the brother on a table without armor and have the chaplain talk with him, with any luck bring him back to normal.


 * Stage 3 (Eternal Darkness) - If a battle-brother somehow goes unnoticed with the curse to this point, he won't have much chance of surviving. A battle-brother in this stage, his muscles will begin to weaken, he begins to limp as every part of him aches in horrendous pain, his face turned to pale blue as if missing oxygen. Everywhere this battle-brother goes it's a blood trail leaking from his armor, in this stage. The natural fast blood clotting off a space marine has almost disappeared, making his blood water-thin, it's armor constantly stained and usually roams the deeper halls off the ships, looking for a way out.

Combat Doctrine
The Ember Sharks makes uses of both terror and shock assaults on their enemy's both in long-range and close combat, using scouts in the back lines with sniper rifles, terminators with lightning claws and chain axes. Jump assault marines with power swords for infantry or vehicle attack they use power fists and thunder hammers with melta bombs. The scouts sneak around the battlefield before these marines make their assault, these scouts are called Shadow Walkers.

Once engaged be it Tyranids it will be hellfire rounds and power fists with lightning claws, or guardsmen chain axes and melta bombs, other Astartes they like to use a special unit called Hurracine Squads using lighting claws, their jetpacks, and rocket attached to their boots once activated these marines goes into a hurricane motion slaughtering everything in their path.

for more nimble creatures such as the Slaneesh demons or Eldar, they will use standard bolters and assault cannons tearing them to shreds of meat. When engaging Necrons the elite units makes use off a specialist bolter they call "Acid Bolts" once it has hit a Necron target the acid will begin to melt away the metal inside it, effectively destroying it, making it unable to ever wake up again, effective method the Necrons seems to have no way to counter it yet...

"No matter the number of the enemy, we will hunt them down. No matter the size we stand above. Everything and anyone who dares to go against Mankind shall be met with the same disgust the Black Templars shows a regular mutant or psyker."

- Ember King Seth Hellfire

"This metallic body I have means nothing to me. I just feel cold steel, not the pumping of adrenaline and blood that I used to feel or emotions I used to share with now long-dead brothers. This isn't a life I wanted, but have no choice but to serve."

- Contemptor Dreadnought Kyle Lionheart talking with the Master Metal Shark about his situation.
