The number of voidcraft encountered suggests that there are at least several company-sized units of these Heretic Astartes active in the Reach, but the main body of the crusade has not yet made contact with any deployments of that size. These vessels were seen in the Vanity and Magog Systems, along with company-sized deployments of Pyre forces. The forces of the Achilus Crusade have faced several Strike Cruisers and a Battle Barge that bore the markings of The Pyre. Given the typically diverse types of units employed by the forces of Chaos, this separation is inexplicable. Also of note is that Pyre units have not been observed working directly with Chaos Space Marines of other warbands. Instead, these Traitors have been seen in the company of Warp creatures and the Stigmartus, a Chaos Cult operating in the Reach. Oddly, though, no higher-ranking members of this warband have been positively identified. The Pyre's forces have played prominent roles in several actions, particularly in the Vanity System. Achilus Crusade (777.M41) - The Pyre has continuously plagued the Jericho Reach during the Imperium's ongoing Achilus Crusade.The Pyre are known to have operated at some point from the space hulk known as the Unholy Harbinger.
There are also no indications that The Pyre holds fealty to any Chaos God instead they seek to coordinate their battles with servants of all the Dark Gods. There are no confirmed records of encounters with the warband prior to this time.ĭepartmento Munitorum analysts have not been able to determine if The Pyre splintered from another known Chaos warband, or if they were assembled from fragments of several different groups. The Pyre warband were first observed by Imperial forces near the Eye of Terror in 131.M41.
