Calgar's Fury is a novella by Paul Kearney.[1]

Cover Description

The Realm of Ultramar stands as a shining beacon of order and strength in a galaxy wracked by war and torment. Custodian of this realm, and Chapter Master of the Ultramarines, Marneus Calgar has fought many foes and won countless wars to ensure its borders remain safe. But when an immense space hulk emerges into the Ultramar system, carrying with it the threat of something ancient and terrible, it is Calgar once again who stands in defence of his realm, prepared to meet whatever horrors are aboard and discover the mystery at the heart of the ship dubbed Fury.[1]

Plot Summary

During the Dark Age of Technology, humanity discovered a moon and named it Olympus Moon. The core of it was still active, as hot as the heart of a planet. There were plans to harness its core energies and create a great drive engine that would make it possible to bring the entire planetary body back to the Segmentum Solar. Sadly, that's when the Eye of Terror was opened and caused all ships around it to crash down to its surface. The moon was tossed through endless warp storms and lost with scattered remnants of STCS all over it. Those who survived worked too slowly to fulfil the original vision that brought them there, yet they dwindled and died over centuries as more and more ships crashed and brought more people with conflicting views to the surface. During the Abyssal Crusade, Viridian Consuls, decimated by years of fighting, crashed their Battle-barge on hulk's surface. They understood basic functions of running it but rejected the implications of the technology they found, deeming it heresy. Slowly marines fell to despair and rage, feeling hopeless and betrayed by the imperium they had fought so hard for. At first Chapter Master Phrynon would exile those who did not follow him to upper levels where the Battle-barge crashed, but later he sought to turn those who stayed faithful to their emperor through terrible tortures. Khorne and Nurgle rewarded him by turning him into a daemon prince, and centuries went by. In M40.612 Hagnon-Cro Tech-Priest Dominus was given a mission by Fabricator General to track down the now Space Hulk still drifting through the Eye of Terror. It took him two hundred years to find it, and just like so many before, he crashed down to its surface. The stalemate was created, and it would last for a thousand years. The Broken holding lower levels and the mechanicus stuck on upper levels with no way out. In M41.812 space hulk Fury emerged in the realm of Ultramar near Agri World Iax. Ultramarines from the 1st, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 10th companies under Marneus Calgar boarded the Hulk. The chapter master with his honour guard led elements of the 1st and 9th companies along with the almost entire 5th with Inquisitorial and Mechanicus forces below the surface while the 7th with elements of the 10th and 9th stayed at the entrance. Seeing this as an excellent opportunity to finally gain control over Hulk, Hagnon-Cro first sent his forces to attack Ultramarines on the surface, keeping them from joining their brothers below, and replayed information The Broken below[[The Witness in his infinate arrognace thinking he could corrpt Marneus Calgar a symbol of Ultramarine bloodline his own chapter Viridian Consuls is a part off. Chaos Space Marines started a warp jump. 7th had no time to join 5th, so they had to evacuate. As the Ultramarines went deeper and deeper, they were contacted by Hagnon-Cro, who explained the situation. At the heart of the hulk, Ultramarines and Mechanicus fought traitors in the final battle. Marneus Calgar banished The Witness with the help of 4 terminators and tried to blow up the Hulk, yet Mechancius thwarted their plans, and they had to submit to the demands of Mechancius. Hagnon-Cro and his mechanicus would take control of the hulk and vowed to purge the hulk of chaos taint and then complete the mission he was originally sent on. Out of the original whole 5th company, only 15 lived. The 9th company Devastator Squad was wiped out, and aside from Calgar himself,. 2 honour guards, 4 terminators, and 1 inquisitor lived to tell the tale. Luckily, Apothecary Philo retrieved twenty-six phials of gene-seed before he was killed. The 5th would rise again.
