In the midst of the War in Heaven, the Old Ones crafted a planet to serve as their strategic battlefield. They called it Stratega Prime, a name that reflected the planet's importance in their struggle against the Necrons and C'tan. Stratega Prime was a planet unlike any other, with a surface covered in a network of sequential patterns that seemed almost artificial in their design. These patterns wove in and out of each other with a precise, almost mathematical elegance, leading many to speculate about their true purpose and origin. After the War in Heaven, Stratega Prime was forgotten by the Old Ones and lost to the annals of history. Over time, legends and myths began to spread about the planet's existence and the hidden power that lay within its patterns. As different factions learned of the planet's existence, they began to converge on Stratega Prime, drawn by the rumors of its strategic importance and the potential for unimaginable power. Upon arriving on the planet's surface, they discovered the true nature of its patterns: each square representing a critical location on the planet. Many believe that the planet was crafted by a long-forgotten race with a mastery of technology beyond comprehension, while others speculate that it was created by the Old Ones themselves as a testing ground for the most strategic and skilled warriors in the galaxy. Regardless of its origin, one thing remained certain: Stratega Prime was a planet of immense strategic importance, and its patterns would continue to draw armies of different factions to its surface, locked in a never-ending game of cosmic chess. |

Necron Dynasty Zara'ken is a powerful and ancient Necron Overlord from the Sautekh Dynasty, one of the most prominent Necron dynasties in the galaxy. He has ruled his dynasty for countless millennia, leading them through countless wars and battles against their enemies, both living and mechanical. Zara'ken's origins are shrouded in mystery, with little known about his past before he became a Necron Overlord. Some say that he was once a great ruler of a long-dead empire, while others believe that he was created by the ancient Necrontyr race to be one of their most powerful warriors. Whatever the truth may be, Zara'ken's power and skill in battle are undeniable, and he is feared by all who stand against him. Despite his many conquests and victories, Zara'ken is driven by a single, unyielding goal: to restore the glory of the Necrontyr race and rule the galaxy once again. He will stop at nothing to achieve this, and his armies march inexorably towards Stratega Prime, seeking to claim it for their own and crush any who stand in their way. Zara'ken was initially drawn to Stratega Prime due to the unusual energy patterns detected on the planet's surface. Analysis of these patterns indicated that they were likely connected to ancient Necron artifacts lost during the War in Heaven. Zara'ken saw the potential of unlocking the secrets of these artifacts and regaining the power of his dynasty that was lost during the cataclysmic conflict. However, as his forces began their conquest of Stratega Prime, Zara'ken began to notice unusual features of the planet that could not be attributed to the artifacts. Some aspects of the landscape, such as the twisted rock formations and the way the sky seemed to ripple like liquid, seemed almost alive. It was speculated that these features might be the result of something the Old Ones had done to the planet during their ancient conflict with the Necrons. Regardless, Zara'ken remains determined to conquer Stratega Prime and unlock the secrets of the ancient artifacts, whatever other mysteries the planet may hold. • Zara'ken, the Conqueror (King): Overlord of the Necron dynasty, wielding a mighty scythe that has been passed down through generations.

Adeptus Astartes Kaelen Rathus was born on the planet of Macragge, the homeworld of the Ultramarines. He was inducted into the Ultramarines chapter as a young man and quickly distinguished himself as a tactical genius, rising through the ranks to become a captain. During the defense of the world of Orar, Kaelen demonstrated his skill and bravery, leading his company to victory against a massive Ork Waaagh! that had threatened to overrun the planet. This success caught the attention of Marneus Calgar himself, who recognized Kaelen's potential and took him under his wing as a protégé. Over the years, Kaelen continued to excel in battle and rose through the ranks of the Ultramarines. He was eventually appointed as the Captain of the 1st Company and served with distinction in that position for many years. When the Crimson Phalanx was founded, Kaelen was chosen to be its first Chapter Master due to his proven leadership abilities and tactical prowess. He has since led the Crimson Phalanx to many victories, earning the respect and admiration of his fellow Space Marines. The Crimson Phalanx is a successor chapter of the Ultramarines, created during the 23rd Founding in the 37th millennium. They are known for their relentless tenacity in battle, their unshakable loyalty to the Imperium, and their striking red and Silver armor. The Crimson Phalanx first gained widespread recognition during the Defense of Caelus Prime. The planet was under attack by a massive Ork Waaagh! that had already destroyed several other Imperial defenses. The Crimson Phalanx was deployed to reinforce the beleaguered defenders, and they launched a devastating counterattack that completely shattered the Ork horde. The victory was a turning point in the war for Caelus Prime, and the Crimson Phalanx was hailed as heroes for their bravery and skill. After this victory, the Crimson Phalanx was given command of Stratega Prime, a strategically important world on the eastern fringes of the Imperium. The planet had long been contested by various xenos and heretical forces, but the Crimson Phalanx was able to establish a strong foothold on the planet and drive back its enemies.
