Night Watch

The Night Watch is one of the Loyalist Space Marine Chapters founded as part of the Astartes Praeses, the 20 Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes created to defend the regions surrounding the Eye of Terror in the Segmentum Obscurus. The Night Watch is a Chapter of unknown Founding and genetic origin. The Night Watch’s homeworld is the planet Silence which lies to the direct galactic north of the Eye of Terror. The Night Watch is unlikely to be a firm adherent to the Codex Astartes since it fielded 11 companies during the 13th Black Crusade. Most Chapters have only a maximum of 10. The current Chapter strength is thus greater than 1,000 Space Marines.
