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.
 
 
 
[[Arcadia Prime]] is just one of the twelve worlds in the domain of the Dark Crusaders. The others are{{Fn|1c}}:
 
*[[HelsReach]]: Industrial World
 
*[[Acropolis]]: Industrial World
 
*[[Solics]]: Industrial World
 
*[[Ferrum]]: Industrial World
 
*[[Terminus]]: Feudal World
 
*[[Eterna]]: Feudal World
 
*[[Hyperion (Planet)|Hyperion]]: Agri-World
 
*[[Mercy]]: Agri-World
 
*[[Theron]]: Mining World
 
*[[Carolus]]: Mining World
 
*[[Rammstein]]: Mining World
 
 
 
==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'''.
 
 
 
The Vanguard is the biggest, and the most powerful of all the fleets within the Armada. Within the Vanguard is one [[Apocalypse Battleship]], six [[Retribution Battleship]]s, a dozen [[Overlord Cruiser]]s, two dozen [[Luna Cruiser]]s, and several squadrons of escort craft.
 
===Known Vessels===
 
*''The Harbinger'' - [[Apocalypse Battleship]], Flagship of the Armada and personal Flagship of Lord Admiral Young.
