All of creation suffers, young ones. Only in accepting our own mortality can we make a difference. Only in bearing the burden of our failures can we find the strength to go on. Only in detachment from glory, or honour, or jealousy... from life itself can we hope to spare others from grief. We are Doom Eagles. And we are dead already. +++ Librarian Secundus Thryn of the Doom Eagles +++

Background

Organization

The acolytes of the Doom Eagles are not chosen primarily because of their strength, their courage, their soul or their physical appearance, but on the basis that every single one of them shares a feeling of total loss, grief and desperation. They regard themselves as already dying, just like their homeworld Gathis II. The tests which the future marines must pass, have the main purpose to show them, that they have nothing to lose, that it doesn't matter where they die, that they could just go on. Only very few of the youths survive these tests, and only those who have recognized this fact are allowed to survive.

Battles and campaigns

• 13th Black Crusade - 5 companies⁵
