Spear of Volnoscere. Bastards of Siklon. Reavers of the Void. It could be said that the Inanis Barones accumulated titles like they appropriated vessels but while names are easily afforded, not all are as deserved as they may seem.

That the Barones were masters of boarding actions and shock assaults is without question. Similarly beyond doubt is that they, like many before them, ascribed to the the belief that ‘might makes right’ which was to bring them to blows with those with whom they had common cause on more than one occasion.

But a more than momentary glance into the light cast by the names they were given though would reveal a more complex picture of misunderstanding and misrepresentation. Ever has truth been among the first casualties in the conflicts of man. 


Despite my misgivings, for the reputation of the Barones preceded their arrival, I found that [REDACTED] was unusually amiable for an Astartes, though at times I found his humours leaned more towards the melancholic and he was given to a sentimentality that in my, admittedly limited experience was rarely found in trans-humans.


The Sorrowful Years would come to visit much sadness upon Sectors Heliopolis and Morqub, but I felt an unusually personally loss when I learned of [REDACTED]’s death at the hands of Ordo Astartes agents and I shall always regret that I was unable to spend more time in his company as we would often discuss matters beyond those warcraft and battle tactics...
