Night Terrors

The Night Terrors, also known as the Legio Vareor, the Watchers, Haunted Angels or the Dead Ones, are a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter founded during the turmoil of the mid-35th Millennium. During these times, such as the events of the Nova Terra Interregnum, the Imperium was in a time of disorder and chaos. The Ur-Council of Nova Terra no longer recognised the rule of the High Lords of Terra and had broke away from the Imperium of Man, forming their own empire in Segmentum Pacifiucs. This division would last for nine standard centuries. During this time, there were multiple Foundings of Space Marine Chapters created to counteract the many threats to the unstable Imperium during this tumultuous period in Mankind's history.

The Night Terrors were born of such chaos, moulded from the very fabric of disorder and hatred that had torn the Imperium in two. The Astartes of the Night Terrors are more vengeful murderers then soldiers, walking the line between necessary evil and unchained horror. The Chapter quickly gained a reputation as bringers of terror and death, not from every dark corner, but any dark corner.

History
The earliest records of the Night Terrors date their founding to be around M35, assumed during the 11th Founding considering their ''modus operandi. ''While the details of their conception are either lost or carefully concealed, their black history is much more difficult to hide. The earliest "sightings" of these infamous Space Marines was midway during the events of the Nova Terra Interregnum, appearing on hundreds of planets as threatening spectres amongst even the most menial of locations. Various factory workers reported seeing fully armoured "giant demons" working the jobs of their collegues, only to vanish entirely. On the Hive World Valmos Prime, the planetary governer reported his entire retinue being replaced by Space Marines bearing dark cloaks when he viewed them in a reflective surface, but from his own eyes they were simply men. Everywhere, these shadow-draped figures with baleful eyes simply watched. Subsectors away from the Imperium's battlelines, these Astartes would appear. Then, finally, they would strike.
