Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Chaos Rising is the first expansion for the real-time strategy game Dawn of War II. The game was released in 2010. Chaos Rising introduces the Chaos Space Marines as a new playable faction in multiplayer and involves the planet Aurelia, the Black Legion and the Blood Ravens in the singleplayer campaign.
Storyline
After the events of Dawn of War II, subsector Aurelia is recovering from the Tyranid invasion that almost wiped out the Blood Ravens recruiting planets. However, something sinister is afoot. The planet Aurelia, once thought lost to the Warp, has reappeared. Sending a team to investigate this occurrence, the Blood Ravens quickly discover that the taint of Chaos, in the form of the Black Legion, has infested this planet during the millennia spent in the Warp. They are led by Eliphas the Inheritor and Araghast the Pillager. Surprisingly, after the first few skirmishes against the Black Legion, Chapter Master Azariah Kyras orders an immediate withdrawal from the system. After refusing to leave, Captain Gabriel Angelos is pronounced a heretic. It is later found out that it is in fact the Chapter Master and someone aboard the Retribution that are the heretics.
The Traitor
The traitor in the game depends on who had the most corruption. If all your squads are pure, then the traitor will be Martellus the Techmarine.
It is not possible for either The Commander or Davian Thule to be the traitor.
Events in Dawn of War II - Retribution reveal that neither Cyrus nor Martellus nor Tarkus nor Jonah Orion[3] were the canonical traitor. It is hinted that of the two members left possible, Avitus is the traitor.[2]
Corruption
The game "Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Chaos Rising" utilizes a unique system based on corruption. For example, allowing Imperial Guardsmen or Space Marines to perish will make your squads more corrupted. If you capture a foundry or shrine for example, you will gain redemption for your squads. Also, some characters will gain corruption if you don't deploy them on certain missions.
