Black Templars and The Shield Crusade

The Shield Crusade, headquartered in The Nor Sub-sector, has a detached tactical command based on  Grettoris in The Eastern Scatter. Grettoris also acts as a forward supply and repair base. The Black Templars run missions out of this world, following up reported xenos activity, and hunting out tyranid nests. The aim of the crusade? To hold the Eastern Ways against the terror from without, to stop the tyranid splinters that infest this region from making their way to the fertile feeding grounds of the worlds of Nor. Above all: to destroy the xenos.
