Dark Core

"Forget who you once were! Your origins, your chapter, legion, all of it, for it does not matter anymore! For you now serve the darkness, the true Chaos! We shall unleash the discord will of Malice, total destruction of order is our offering to him! Even those who serve the other Chaos Deities shall become our sacrifice! Now, go forth and bring calamity!"

- Mammon the Taker speaking to the warband

The Dark Core is a large Chaos Warband that has gained infamy for the past ten millennia. They are known to attack various Imperial Military Forces, Xenos armies, and even fellow Chaos Forces. This is because they are one of the rare few who worship the Renegade Chaos God, Malice. As such they see it as their duty to spread discord and destruction, fighting only the best enemies in order to appease their Dark God. Since they do not worship the other Gods of Chaos, they have little Daemons, instead forcefully binding lesser Daemons to machines, having a large number of Daemon Engines to serve them. The warband is also infamous to raiding Rogue Traders, Imperial Navy Ships and even Loyalist and Chaos Space Marine ships, adding their vessels to their growing fleet and forcing the survivors into the service of Malice.

Warband Badge
The symbol of the Dark Zone is a black and white vortex going counter clockwise, coverging towards a small, round, dot-like pupil. At the end of the vortex, is a small, daemonic face, with its mouth open as it prepares to devour the pupil. The warband wears the symbol on their left shoulder plates.
