The game will be set in the opening years of the 42nd Millennium. You are part of Abaddon the Despoiler's 13th Black Crusade. Your target is Terra and your goal is nothing less than the complete and utter destruction of the Imperium of Man. Well, Abaddon's target is Terra anyway - you have a different, but no less important, role to play in upcoming events.

The game is essentially a Black Crusade game, but will borrow from other games as well; you'll get to play a Space Marine (Deathwatch), a high-rank non-Marine (essentially Ascension-level characters), there will be starship action (Rogue Trader), and a fair bit of gritty low-rank investigation-and-murderous mayhem (Dark Heresy, only reversed).

You will be required to submit several characters:

1 'renegade' Space Marine: One Deathwatch-style Space Marine. Only a renegade one. This means you'll be a cut above the 'common rabble' Marines, but not über-experienced (or perhaps old and experienced, but slow and weary of war). Suitable for being you main character.

1 suitably 'heroic' non-Marine: One high-end DH/Ascension-style human. A powerful psyker, a tech-magos of many secrets, a temple Assassin, a fallen Cardinal. Someone who is very, very good at his choen vocation. Suitable for being you main character when a Marine is not desireable.

1+ supporting cast: Any number of non-heroic supporting cast.
