The Night Ghosts are a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter of the ill-fated 21st 'Cursed' Founding. They are one of the most feared chapters of the noble warriors of the Adeptus Astartes. But what most people do not know if they read the many reports of the satanic tortures of the Night Ghosts are that the Chapter follows the honourable regulations of the Cult Prometheus from the noble Salamanders with the same fanaticism. And even less know the second face of the Night Ghosts - a friendly albeit very reserved mind.
Whatever imperialorganizationss think about the Night Ghosts, one thing no one can deny - wherever the Night Ghosts fight in a war the losses to civilians number close to zero. If a tyrant enslaves innocents or criminals who rob the population, no wrong can survive against the Night Ghosts.
