"Few have even heard of the mysterious 13th Company of the Raven Guard and fewer yet know of its existence. The great Primarch Corax instituted its creation just shortly before he left for the great eye of terror. His heart heavy and his legion all but destroyed Corax created the 13th with his last glimmer of hope. Their mission is to rebuild the legion and develop new technology to prevent what happened during the Great Heresy. No one has seen the 13th for generations and for those who do know of their creation have forsken them as lost or dead. Corax hand picked all of the founding memebers of the company, choosing both tested veteran and innovative recruit. Their Shadow Captain, Ivan Verillion, was a marine created by the experimental gene seed used by Corax himself on Kiavahr shortly before its untimely destruction by the traitors. The 13th was reportedly manned with many of the Raven Guard's best and most promising marines.
No one knows the location of the 13th but there are stories that say they travelled to the far edge of the galaxy and settled a planet there. A planet practically made of prometheum, a dark planet covered in moss and strange plants that thrive in the darkness. Other stories say they were lost in the warp along with all of their transports. A million people left with them in hopes of finding a more peaceful world and a bright future. Lo, They were not lost in the warp. No it seems the Emperor guided them through fierce warp storms to their destination, a world now called
Endurance. Endurance stands lost in time, disconnected from most of the Imperium of Man and the Mechanicus of Mars. Warp storms surround the space around Endurance, but the skilled astropaths of the 13th Fleet know the treacherous pathways that provide a mildly safe yet risky way through these torrents. Trips off world are seldom and visitors of any kind are rare. This planet stands as the last true hope of the Raven Guard, a monument to their strength and will."
