Void Tridents
|
The Void Tridents are an Ultramarines Successor Chapter.[1]
History
The Void Tridents were among the Primaris Space Marine Chapters created during the Ultima Founding at the direct order of Roboute Guilliman, and were created during the Indomitus Crusade. Recruited from the Ocean World of Talassar, the Void Tridents follow the naval traditions of the Realm of Ultramar. They are experts in boarding actions and ship-to-ship warfare, though under Lord Commodore Theodro Vethrus, they have also proven themselves in planetstrike operations.[1]
The Void Tridents are one of the Chapters assigned by Guilliman to protect the reformed Realm of Ultramar and are also part of the Wardens of the Gauntlet.[2][4]
Known Campaigns
- War of Beasts - 3 Companies, 1 Demi-Company.[3a]
- Nachmund Rift War [4]
- Siege of Dharrovar - 90+ Battle-brothers under Captain Julianis Mikon.[4]
Heraldry
The Void Tridents' power armour is primarily a dark blue, meant to evoke the southern oceans of Talassar, their homeworld. Secondary colours include bronze (used for their Imperialis and pauldron trim) and white (used for the main part of the pauldrons). The Chapter's symbol is a set of three arrows, forming a stylised trident's head, depicted in red on a white background.[3b]
Void Tridents Marines wear bronze helmets. Sergeant status is shown with a white line down the middle of the helmet, while a Lieutenant's rank is shown with a red line bordered by two white lines.[3b]
A Veteran of the Void Tridents may display golden aquilas on their pauldrons - each aquila represents ten years of active service.[3b]
Tactical markings are displayed as red on white - this is used to denote the Chapter's symbol (on the left pauldron), squadron designation/honours (right pauldron) and company designation (left kneepad).[3b]
If a Void Tridents Marine has fought in a boarding action that resulted in the total destruction of an enemy vessel, they are entitled to display both a golden laurel and an astral halo symbol on their armour.[3b]
