These communes were owned by the Rynnite noble class and the planetary administration was divided into nine provinces, each of which was controlled by a single noble clan, ultimately reporting to the most powerful noble family, House Cagliestra.
It has been noted that many Chapter Masters in Kantor's position would have chosen the former option, ensuring their Chapter a place in legend rather than accept their virtual defeat. It is to Kantor's eternal credit, and is a mark of a leader of superior character, that he made the choice he did, for the Imperium can ill afford the loss of such a fine Chapter of Astartes as the Crimson Fists. Furthermore, the Chapter's actions during the Voltigern Crusade in the 40th Millennium significantly mitigated the Ork presence within the sector. There is a considerable Warpspace distance between the Rynnstar System and its nearest human neighbours. Defiant, courageous and unyielding in the face of impossible odds – these are the Crimson Fists, Dorn's glorious vanguard. Tested in battle like few others, these Space Marines are on the front lines of an endless war against the barbaric orks. When the hordes of the warlord Snagrod come to lay waste to the Crimson Fists' fortress-monastery on Rynn's World, Chapter Master Pedro Kantor must lead the battered survivors in a desperate defence of their home if they are to have any hope of finding triumph in sacrifice. This thrilling omnibus contains two novels, a novella, and four short stories written by Steve Parker and Mike Lee. [1] Contents [1]
At its heart was the sacred Monument Hall where the name of every fallen battle-brother of the Chapter was inscribed. The Arx was protected by a curtain wall featuring four mighty towers known as the Sercia, Protheo, Marez and Laculum Bastions. It was an anti-ship torpedo fired from the Laculum Bastion that ultimately destroyed the Arx Tyrannus during WAAAGH! Snagrod's invasion of Rynn's World in 989.M41. Roughly 600 Astartes were within the Arx Tyrannus when it was destroyed and the loss of all but 16 of them was the greatest loss of life the Chapter has suffered since the Siege of Barenthal.
The Hellabore Assault (867.M41) - Captain Alessio Cortez and the Crimson Fists' 4 th Company battled the Eldar of Craftworld Iyanden on the world of Hellabore. Despite suffering grievous wounds, including a stab wound to one of his hearts, Cortez led the final assault that routed the Eldar from Hellabore. The proximity of Rynn's World to one of the Crimson Fists' primary recruiting worlds was ideal, and the Chapter constructed their fortress-monastery in the middle of the inhospitable and frigid Hellblade Mountains of the planet's southern continent. As the Crimson Fists' few surviving Techmarines salvaged and repaired what little had survived the WAAAGH!'s assault, Chapter Master Kantor dedicated himself to cleansing the Jaden Mountains of the remaining Orks that lurked within their confines. Savales had been a promising recruit to the Chapter but was unable to become a Space Marine when his body rejected the Astartes implants and the genetic alterations initiated by the gene-seed's viral machines. Savales' direct predecessor was a man named Argol Kondris. As with many of the Chapter's serfs, Savales became Major-Domo after being selected as an apprentice to Kondris, which was a tradition for many of the more important positions held by the Chapter's support staff. All but 400-odd Chapter Serfs were killed when the Arx Tyrannus was lost, and none within the fortress survived the explosion.

Like all Codex Astartes-compliant Space Marine Chapters, the Crimson Fists were divided into ten companies of 100 Space Marines each when at full strength, with the exception of the 1 st Company fielding 128 battle-brothers. Each company was led by an officer with the rank of captain who is a hero of the Crimson Fists. Master of the Fleet - Rank held by a senior headquarters Astartes of the Chapter with proven void combat experience, rather than a company Captain.

Ground-to-orbit defences concentrated their efforts on protecting the planet's single spaceport and nearby New Rynn City. The 104 th Feast of Blades (949.M41) - The ravages of war dictated that only eight Chapters were in attendance at this ancient feast amongst the Successor Chapters of the Imperial Fists Legion, but the tradition was still observed. Supremacy was tied between the Imperial Fists and Crimson Fists Chapters when their nominated champions simultaneously rammed their swords through each other's primary heart in a closely fought duel. The Siege of New Rynn City was to grind on for eighteen solar months, but the Crimson Fists were able to maintain their defences until an Imperial Navy liberation fleet, including elements from 6 other Space Marine Chapters, finally arrived in 990.M41, 18 solar months after the invasion began. The Imperial reinforcements drove the Orks from the world.
