History
Despite the remarkable strides they have taken to secure their world for the Emperor, the Black Talons are constantly short-handed from the constant migration of Hyperion's native, carniverous fauna.
First arriving on Hyperion tracking down an expedition by a group of settlers that had been infiltrated by agents of Chaos looking to establish a planet-fortress for their Daemon Prince, Markaenus. Finding the largest settlement on the planet's southern pole, the Talons very nearly assaulted the complex, only halting their attack once they found the corpses of the cultists staked outside of the settlement. Impressed by the people's strength of faith and hardy nature, the Talons requested to take the planet as their home, and subjugate the populace as their own. Their request being granted, the Black Talons collected the settlers from the various smaller outposts that had been established and relocated to the Tomb Hills, and constructed their impressive fortress and it's defenses with remarkable speed, finishing the outer defenced defences in under 8 years, and completing the entire complex (above and underground) within 3 decades.
