Ch 2

As the fighting in the fleet began to diminish, the remainder began it's assault on Typhon IV. The 1st, 45th, and 201st infantry regiments spearheaded the assault. Thousands of orbital insertion pods shot through the atmosphere like rain. Each pod impacted with the planet with an explosive impact. The pods then opened and out came the hardened marine veterans. These men had seen the face of war a thousand times, but they were not prepared for what waited for them on the planet's surface. As the marines made planet fall they were immediatly assaulted by a horde of deamons. The beasts were far more diverse and came in all shapes and sizes armed with a slue of different weapons. One of these weapons would become infamous. The weapon eventually earned an official name, and was soon dubbed by Naval Intelligence as "Soulreapers". However troopers in the confed military started calling them "screamers". The screamer was a strange weapon. It looked organic, like a limbed tube. It fired out a cloud like beam, which on comntact kills a man instantly by tearing his soul out of his body. It is a painful way to go as the soul is torn from the body and sent straight to Hell.
