| + | The '''Dark Crusaders''' are a [[Space Marine Chapter]].{{Fn|1}} |
− | The Dark Crusaders are unlike most [[Chapter]]s in the fact that they not only hold dominion over their [[Fortress world]], but over twelve worlds. Their locations are unknown to the [[Imperium]], thereby making the Dark Crusaders the only ones who know of their existence and their only source of protection from [[Ork]] warbands. Since each of the twelve worlds show their loyalty first to the Dark Crusaders, instead of the Imperium that forgot them long ago, each world pays [[tithe]]s to [[Arcadia Prime]], keeping the Dark Crusaders well supplied with everything from field rations to [[Retribution Class Battleship]]s. | |

− | ==Organisation==
| |
− | The Dark Crusaders are organised like most other Chapters, only on a larger scale due to their abnormal size. The Crusaders are formed into 100-Marine [[Battle Companies]]. The majority of the Chapter stay on Arcadia or with the Armada when there is not an Operation planned, but there is a garrison of 8 Companies per world in the Dark Crusaders' realm of the galaxy.

− | ==The Armada==
| |
− | Thou many Space Marine Chapters have a small fleet, say a few [[Battle Barge]]'s and [[Strike Cruisers]], the Dark Crusaders do not. The Dark Crusaders have their own Armada of ships. Every known model of ship is within the massive fleet. Everything from an [[Apocalypse Battleship]] to an [[Ironclad]].
| |
− | Within the Armada are several fleets, each of which have their own duties and responsibilities within the Crusader Realm. Either patrolling the space between the mineral rich worlds and known [[Ork]] territory, or performing rapid strikes against [[Chaos]] or [[Ork]] fleets within [[Segmentum Tempestus]].
| |
− | The most distinguished fleet within the Armada is the '''Vanguard'''
