Eternity Invictors

Space Marine Chapter Articles

The Eternity Invictors are a Loyalist Successor Chapter descended from the proud lineage of the stoic Imperial Fists, created during the 25th Founding, the so-called 'Bastion Founding'.

They currently operate as a fleet-based chapter due to the destruction of their home world in 876.M40.

Chapter History
The Eternity Invictors are a young Space Marine chapter that was founded in 656.M40 as part of the 25th Founding and are currently a fleet-based chapter. The Eternity Invictors did originally possess a home world a Hive World called Tradex IV which was located in the north-western part of the Imperium’s domain and they recruited new aspirants into the chapter for around 200 years. However in 860.M40 the chapter was embroiled in the Campaign for Dridex which necessitated the mobilisation of 90% of the chapters forces this resulted in the majority of the chapters first company being left to hold down the garrison of their fortress-monastery, during the 15 year campaign a Cult that had existed on the planet since before the chapter was given the world took this lack of forces as it’s chance to rise up. When the uprising began the garrison forces where crippled before they even had a chance to react as seismic charges used for the mining of asteroids where detonate below the mountain that the fortress monastery was located on bringing the entire structure crumbling down, this resulted in the death of most of the 1st Battalion that where located there.

Battalions
The 9 battalions of the Eternity Invictors are used as alternatives to the traditional company structure as set out in the Codex Astartes. In addition, all battalions with the exception of the 2nd and 10th consist of only 65 marines instead of the usual 100 with the marines striped from other battalions being gifted to the 2nd to increase it’s field strength. This means that the second battalion contains 345 marines alongside all command and support staff.

The 1st Battalion consists of 10 members of the chaplaincy who each hold vigil for 10 of the brothers who were lost in the destruction of the chapters fortress-monastery alongside standard bearer of the 1st battalion before their destruction who requested to be allowed to continue to hold the standard of the 1st high. Additionally, one of the chapter’s champions are elected to serve as the Grave Warden who guards the crypt for the 1st on-board the Indefatigable.

Chapter Colours
The Eternity Invictors wear battle-plate that is almost always coloured dark blue with the Aquila on the chest being gold in colour. In addition, the belts that all chapter members wear are made from leather and thus brown in colour. The powerpacks the chapter utilise are the same colour as the rest of the armour however all vents and exhausts are left in a gunmetal silver.

The way the Eternity Invictors mark which section the belong to is by having different parts of their armour painter red to match their pauldrons, those in a Battleline section have no additional colouring added to their armour, a Veteran section will have their torsos in red, Close support will have their left leg, while Fire support have their right.

Marines who are part of the Headquarters are the only marines who have a combination of the above with them having both legs in red.

The Chapter icon is prominently displayed on the left pauldron with the trim of said pauldron representing what company the marine is from.
