Background: The Seekers of the Emperor, for being such a diverse group of Imperial servants, started out very focused, very precise. The Adeptus Astartes of the Praetor Aurum Argentum Chapter, Marines clad in black power armor, with trim of gleaming gold, and bearing silver helmets and gauntlets that hold their Bolters and other weapons of choice. As successors of the Iron Hands, they are a naturally mechanically inclined Chapter, fielding a larger number of Techmarines, with the added talent in the construction, and demolition, of fortifications. It is such that this Chapter of Space Marines would find themselves fighting alongside a regiment of the Imperial Guard against an Ork incursion, one that would have the foundation of the Seekers of the Emperor created out of the fires of war.
The Imperial Guard that stood alongside the Praetor Aurum Argentum were known as the Kassian Raiders, a rather mobile group that relied greatly on the unusually large number of horse mounted Rough Riders, and also notable for the lack of gender inequality, the regiment split about even among the number of male and female members amongst their ranks. It was this regiment that had made the initial response actions against the Orkish incursion, and would suffer the greatest losses while they held the line, countless numbers of Guardsmen and women getting hauled off horseback, getting blown apart, and incinerated by crude burna's while Orks fell to explosive tipped hunting lances, volleys of las fire, and concentrated strikes from Vendetta's and Earth Shaker cannon. The Orks would have eventually overrun the Kassian Raiders if not for Astates intervention.
Fortifications built by the Praetor Aurum Argentum before were being manned by the Imperial Guard presence, and had held long enough for their builders to arrive, screaming down in Drop pods, Thunderhawk gunships tearing great gashes in the Ork forces besieging the fortress, Assault Marines leaping from the pods, jump packs carrying them into the fray, whilst Tactical Marines and Devastators reinforced the emplacements along the fortress wall, accurate volleys of Bolter and heavy weapons fire tearing apart the remaining Ork forces. The Kassian Raiders would now have their revenge, the fast moving cavalry units more than able and quick enough to run down orks as they fled, slaughtering them and decimating their forces. In time, the planet would be cleansed of the Ork presence.
Attention then turned to the Kassian Raiders themselves, and what was to be done with them. The Orks had destroyed any void travel they could have used, and they themselves were decimated and injured still. However, they had served with the utmost courage, valor, and ferocity, even when facing apparent death in the face of the Orkish horde during their stand within the Praetor Aurum Argentum built fortress. So the Chapter Master met with their surviving command structure, and a decision was made. The remaining Guardsmen and their equipment was embarked upon the Space Marine transports and would travel with their forces, acting as an auxiliary force to the Praetor Aurum Argentum Chapter, and would prove their valor and talent in the years to come.
It was when this coalition force of Guard and Astartes were underway in the warp, travelling to their next destination in the glory of the Emperor of Mankind, that the Emperor himself was assassinated, and so fell dark the guiding light to their travel. They would readily fall out of the warp at this case, and the first of several emergency meetings were had between the Chapter Master, Commanding officer of the Kassian Raiders, and the head admiral of the current assembly of ships. They were several days travel from a planet that was known to have a covenant of the Adeptus Sororitas, the Sisters of Battle, and it was decided they could head there, and figure out between the three groups, what the next course of action would indeed turn out to be. And it was with this in mind that the fleet set out to rendezvous with the Sisters.
Upon their arrival at the planet, they would find an interesting situation. The Sisters had already met with another servant of the Emperor, an Inquisitor of all things, and they had made quite the plan for the future, now that the Emperor was indeed assassinated. They were going to head out into the Galaxy, and begin searching for the Emperor reincarnate, and in finding this savior reborn, they themselves would be saved. Whether this was the same opinion as the Inquisitor or not, was unknown, but the overall goal was clear. After deliberation and talks between the assembled forces of the Imperium, it was decided by the Astartes and Kassian Commanding officers that they would indeed accompany and aid the Sisters in a noble task such as this. But, they had not the ships, alone, to transport all the now assembled forces, so aid was sought elsewhere.
Calling for a meeting with the Imperial Governors and ranking Admiralty within the system, the Cannoness, Chapter Master, Inquisitor, and Commander of the Kassian Raiders met with the civilian authorities of the planets and put forth their plans before them, and explained the cause and reasoning behind such things. After more time spent talking, debating, and the like, an accord was reached. The Admiralty provided all their ships to the cause, while the Imperial Governors agreed to begin raising supplies, manpower, and other things required for a new Grand Crusade of this undertaking. This was precisely what the assembled forces desired, and in time, the preparations to get underway were nearly finished. But, not all things go as planned, as the assembled leaders noted quickly.
The PDF forces upon the planets were in disagreement with the plan for a Great Crusade, specifically the Commanding Officers of the PDF regiments on each planet, claiming that beginning a search so soon was foolhardy and bold, at best, wasteful and suicidal, at worst. Not tolerating such heresy, they were executed to the man, and while his did quell rebellious talk and the like, other uprising and outbreaks of violence had to be put down as well. But such things would not stall the plans for long, after all, the newborn Emperor was out there somewhere, and the Seekers of the Emperor, as the coalition force was now known, were determined to find him and bring salvation and the Emperor's light back to the galaxy.
