The Unyielding Legacy of the Imperial Fists

In a grim darkness, where the light of civilization flickers on the brink of collapse, the Imperial Fists stand as unyielding sentinels against the void. Theirs is a legacy forged in the crucible of war, tempered by the unrelenting ferocity of the 41st millennium.

Aiding the Reborn Guilliman

On Luna, a detachment of Imperial Fists secured the Astronomican and the Forbidden Fortress, safeguarding Terra as it teetered on the precipice of chaos. Chapter Master Vorn Hagan fell in battle, but his successor, Gregor Dessian, led the Fists in their unwavering support of Roboute Guilliman’s Indomitus Crusade.

The Phalanx: A Symbol of Unyielding Resolve

The Phalanx, the iconic fortress-ship of the Imperial Fists, stood watch over Terra, a beacon of defiance in the face of an uncertain future. Under Captain Tor Garadon’s command, a company of Fists deployed to the planet’s surface, working in tandem with the Adeptus Custodes to quell Chaos cults and restore order.

Battles and Campaigns

Throughout the 41st millennium, the Imperial Fists fought on numerous fronts, their unwavering resolve forged in the fire of countless battles:

• The Reconquest of Talixetaca
• The Defence of Alamanis
• The Xaltoic Heresy
• The Invasion of Tsadrekha
• The Siege of Ironhold
• The War for the Sithoza System
• The Battle of Brax
• The Invasion of Xendrya
• The Battle of Gandor’s Providence

Gene-seed and Legacy

The Imperial Fists’ gene-seed is marked by two distinct characteristics: the loss of the Betcher’s Gland and the Sus-an Membrane, and a behavioral tendency towards self-sacrifice and penance. This legacy is both a strength and a weakness, driving the Fists to fight on despite overwhelming odds, yet sometimes inviting unnecessary risks.

Unyielding Sentinels

The Imperial Fists remain vigilant, ever prepared to face the unknown threats that lurk in the darkness. Their unyielding resolve is a beacon of hope in a grim universe, a testament to the indomitable will of humanity in the face of an unforgiving cosmos.
