Fiction:Unified Alliance of Enlightenment/Olympians/Breaker Dragons

"War is hell. We must end it"

- Rad-Eater's Mantra

Vanara super soldiers of the Unified Alliance of Enlightenment, the Rad-Eaters are composed of several semi-sapient sub-species of Vanara enhanced by the gene-seed of their Arhat Lucy. The Rad-Eaters excel at siege warfare, digging trenches and building barricades. When the time has come to come out of their forticfications and deliver death to their foes, they tear through enemies, savagely and without remorse unleashing powerful attacks from their nuclear weaponry. While very loyal to the UAE, they are distrusted by the other Olympian chapters and have learned to rely on themselves since they don't feel like they can rely on others.

Creation
The idea to create the Rad-Eaters was put into plan long before the Vanara Empire allied themselves to the UAE. It originally began when the Vanara discovered the massive cyborg Lucy and planned to use her DNA to create enhanced super soldiers. However the innocence in Lucy's DNA proved incompatible with almost any sapient form of life. The solution came when they discovered it could be used on primitive semi-sapient Vanara sub-species. However the process was so complex as to prove impractical and thus the project came to a grinding halt. That was until Attero Domiantus rolled around and the UAE began to develop a counter to the Tyranny's Overseers, bringing the project back into full gear. Once the gene-seed was developed a way to effectively and practically enhance these sud-species was had and the Rad-Eaters were born.

Working with the Black Crusaders
After their reforms from when Vice Jaw took over that Rad-Eaters were soon deployed on their first mission since then, but with some extra company. Pollux Maclon and his 10 Crusaders had been forced to join them by the Grey Knights Arhat Tyndar. Both sides were less then happy about this stemming from a mutual distrust and an intense animosity between their fellow Vahallan Convents. Pollux arrived to join the Rad Eaters in a battle against a Cult of Darkling Tibrix, who where slaughtering inhabitants of a hive city. As Pollux worked to get as many civilians out, the Rad-Eaters entrenched themselves in and around the city, using siege techniques long-practiced by the chapter to break the Cult's many canon fodder forces. Pollux, as he and his brothers witnessed the who well the Rad-Eaters fought, and impressed by the rather swell Carnage, adapted many of their combat traits during their missions together, with Pollux focusing his troops more and more on close combat then ever. Eventually it came to light that the hatred between the Black Thorns and Punishing Blade stemmed from Tarii having praised the Seraphiem of the Black Thorns, Angra Mainyu's, sacrifice of her own life, the Vanara considering praising someone for martyrdom a grave insult. Pollux apologized for the insult and Vice Jaw in turn apologized for Aspira's own actions and insult.

Steelroller Betrayal
When an system on the outskirts of Federation territory came under control of an Bachyeon beacon located in their main city, and launched rebellion, the Steelrollers saw this as the perfect time, since Vice Jaw and Lucy were away. With their as-treasonous brothers the Iron Skulls, and the loyalist Creeds known as the Plague Guardians, the Brave Burners and the Rad-Eaters, the Steelrollers began their assault. Knowing the Steelrollers were the best tacticans of them all, the Rad-Eaters grudgingly left overall command to them. The city was divided into 5 main targets: The palace and nearby forges with would be targeted by the Brave Burners, the tunnel/trench network east of the city with was the target of the Rad-Eaters, the bunkers west of the city with were the target of the Steelrollers, the underground with would be targeted by the Iron Skulls, and the beacon area with would be targeted by the Plague Guardians.

What the Rad-Eaters did not know, was that the bunkers and underground had anti-viral protection while the rest hadn't. When the Steelrollers and Iron Skulls had claimed their positions, they suddenly unleashed an extremely potent virus that the traitors thought only the Plague Guardians could withstand. However, the virus also created a lot of incendiary gasses, and with a single lance of energy, the whole city was aflame, burning the Plague Guardians as well. The Brave Burners were in turn unharmed, but most had already been felled by the baleful virus unleashed minutes before. Once the firestorm died down as well, the Steelrollers and Iron skulls came out of their air-tight fortification s and started to scour for survivors to kill, while drawing an Cyber Collective fleet near. Little they know that the Rad-Eaters there had survived as well due to their boron based biochemistry rendering the virus useless and their having been in tunnels and trenches protecting them from the gasses, as did approximately 1/3th of Plague Guardians who had hidden from the firestorm in time, and 1/3th of the Brave Burned who whom the virus had missed and who of course had been unaffected by the firestorm.

The Plague Guardians and Brave Burners had their Ahrats with them, and under their leadership, managed to ward off the assaults of their treasonous brothers without extreme losses, but the Rad-Eaters were not so lucky. After warning Vice Jaw and Lucy, they descended into a terrible berserking madness, pouring out of the tunnels they had taken refuge in, heedless of danger, and clashed against the Steelroller's vehicles and mechanizations en masse, managing to hold the their positions for quite some time, despite the fact that they had deployed without vehicles. Just when they believed they had warded off the Steelroller's attack completely, a fresh wave of drop pods rained down on top of their positions, and from them more Steelroller Olypians emerged. The commander of the Rad-Eaters forces their, Caraeveus, killed during the battle along with many of his kind, but a few survived. By the time Vice-Jaw and Lucy showed up the battle was already over and the traitors long since gone. Recovering those still alive the two returned to Worldship Behemoth to gather the rest of the Rad-Eaters and alert Empress Besta of their plan to hunt down every last Steelroller and slaughter them all. Besta agreed issueing an Extinction Order on the Steelrollers, basically stating they were to be exterminated, but insisted that a sixth if the Rad-Eaters stay behind and that Lucy be kept out of direct conflict unless absolutely necessary in order to preserve the Rad-Eaters should they fail. The Rad-Eaters agreed and then left without telling anyone else what they were doing besides the Plague Guardians and the Brave Burners.

Hegemony Betrayal
With the betrayal of Khain the Firstborn to the Brotherhood, many of the Creeds began to split off and diverge to avoid large forces being corrupted or destroyed, like with Khain and the Skin Flayers legion. However, their top Mourner, Carrie, would receive a strange prophecy stating that "when a Traitors Hammer fell a dived Storm of Innocence would fall, but an unified one would rage like never before". Disturbed ,Carrie reported this to Vice-Jaw, would after discussing it with the rest of the Creed, they all agreed to not split up their Creed, though they would call it Chapter instead from then on. Moreover, they not only refused to split up, but also refused to allow any Astartes Auxiliaries from their allies, the Hegemony anywhere near their Chapter and homeworld. this did not go over well with the Alliance, but Empress Zuki intervened, stating that the Rad-Eaters were well within their rights as Vanara law stated any foreign military force could denied access to a Vanara Worldship or colony whatever the circumstances may be, sighting potential prejudice actions against the Psychokinetic population of the Behemoth as the reason since the Hegemony had proven to be highly suspicious of Psychokinetic Vanara.

Sub-Species
Vanaris Hecate= A sub species native to Worldship Leviathan, they live in packs near the shore were they scavenge on washed up corpses. They are the most primitive sub species. They are sometimes kept as pets.

Vanaris Helios= Native to Worldship Ziz, they live in small clans on the slopes of the plateau were they feed on small rodents and birds. They are also sometimes kept as pets.

Vanara Atlas= As sub species native to Worldship Behemoth, they live in caves in small family units throughout the great dessert. They are the most intelligent, but not full sapient.

Gene-Seed
Taken from the giant, cyborg creature Lucy, the Rad-Eaters gene-seed is strange simmering white substance. In the gene-seed strange colorful wisps float through that could be best described as innocence and reacts violently to corrupt substances. The only being capable of absorbing the gene-seed are innocent beings and thus only works on Rad-Eaters (with a few exceptions) as the formerly unintelligent beasts have no way of understanding right from wrong in any sense. It also works on females since Lucy is female, however it still has a greater chance of failing if used on them. Overtime the gene-seed becomes "tainted" as the Rad-Eater develops a moral compass giving the Rad-Eater black blood. The innocence never fully disappears though and a Rad-Eater's morals will always remain flexible at best.

Mutation
The Rad-Eaters while not only developing Black Blood the Rad-Eaters are also subject to another mutation. This gene characteristic is a mutation in the pineal gland that causes it to produce a chemical that causes increased and abnormal bone growth. This causes the growth of bony projections on the arms and horns to grow from the head. The Rad-Eaters actually encourage such mutations and cover them in molecularity strengthened Varish Steel, a steel known for it's distinctive pattern of banding and mottling reminiscent of flames, being filled with nanowires and carbon nanotubes, and extremely hard and superplasticity at the same time.

Culture
"Honor comes from fighting for what you believe in, not killing."

- Vice Jaw

With the reputation they carry one would expect the Rad-Eaters to have fierce, war-like, martial culture, rather they have a very laid back fun loving approach to life outside the battle field. When deployed alongside other Chapters, Rad-Eaters can often be found sleeping, playing, or sniffing around under the tables in the fortress-monastry and hermitage-barracs of the said Chapters - at least those who will let them in - looking for scraps of dropped food or putting on cute, starving puppy faces in the hopes of being fed. Rad-Eaters also enjoy hunting, the bigger and more deadly the better, and large potions of the entire Chapter will band together to take down some fearsome beast. Surprisingly, the Rad-Eaters actually hate war and conflict, seeing unreasonable blood shed as pointless and unnecessary and will normally try to end conflict quickly as possible. Due to their closeness to the Plague Guardian Chapter, some rad-Eaters have come to see war as an infection upon the unviverse, and them as the cure, a common Plague Guardian belief. This is in stark contrast to their culture before their reform when Vice Jaw took power.

Combat Doctrine
The Rad-Eaters specialize in siege and static defense. They are highly skilled at digging trenches, building barricades, mine fields and such. When entering combat, the Rad-Eaters will first being to construct their primary defensive and the bunker down for the long haul, letting the enemy repeatedly smash themselves against the defenses while the Rad-Eaters wait for them to wear themselves down. Once the enemy has worn themselves down sufficiently, the Rad-Eaters will them launch an attack in a series of waves. The first waves job is to clear out no man's land, then the second which is intended to breach the enemies own defenses, and finally the third which is to rush in after the defenses have fallen and take the enemy base for themselves.

The Rad-Eaters will often use the environments natural features to bolster their defenses, making use of a natural chock points and other barriers to bolster their defenses. While some of the more direct Olympians, the Rad-Eaters are no stranger to the use of stealth, one of their more common tactics is to dig tunnels under the enemy base so that they can bypass the enemy defenses all together. Like all Vanara, the Rad-Eaters prefer utility, simplicity, and practicality. Weapon-wise, the Rad-eaters prefer nuclear weaponry, but also make use of gravity weaponry in honor of the Seraphim of the Black thorns, Angra Mainyu, who sacrificed herself during Aterro Dominatus when she unleashed the full power of her psychokinetic field, collapsing her it and her own body to form a miniature black hole.

Also the Rad-Eaters do not fallow the codex set down by the Ultrakinghts, some even refer to it as a "fucking piece of shit". This is mainly due resentment stemming it constantly being shoved in their face and down their throats. The only thing they fallow it the Imperial Kodas. In fact they feel the Codex of Honor is worthless, arguing that many Olympians turned traitor not because of their moral code, but because they turned away from it, so just writing a new one does no good. They also make no use of Chapter Serfs, viewing work not done by oneself as worthless.

Worship of Jura
The Rad-Eaters are incredibility devout followers of the Vanara Beats Jura, the Fire Dragon. They do not however pray to the god, believing that one fallows Jura through deeds rather than words. This drives them to fight to end war with all their hearts and protect what matters most. The Rad-Eaters see the Empress Besta as the daughter of Jura and so are immensely protective of her. The Rad-Eaters do worship other gods as well, Hoorangiir from Ugandal theology is quite popular, and some even view the Peacebringers' Freddie Mercury as a divine messenger of some sort.

Initiation Rite
Though unofficial, the Rad-Eaters do in fact have an initiation rite. Initiates mush summon and ride one of the terrifying Boronic Wryms the Vanara unleash wherever they settle in order to terraform the planet to their biochemistry. The initiate will be taken out after being enhanced and once their intelligence has developed significantly enough will be taken out and left with a thumper once the vibrations summon the Wrym the initiate must then latch on and exposed the Wrym's sensitive skin with hooks which will prevent it from burrowing away and ride it until it tires. This is extremely dangerous as if the initiate falls of the Wrym will quickly turn around and devour them. The Rad-Eaters make o effort to save those that fall(an undertaking that could put the entire chapter at risk). Rad-Eaters already initiated will frequently re-perform this ritual granting the Rad-Eaters of the secondary name Wrym Riders.

Ranks
Rad-Eaters are divided into six ranks each recognized by the part of Jura they have painted on their armor.
 * General Troops - Jura's Back Claw
 * Commaders - Jura's Front Claw
 * Females (such as Psychokinetics) - Jura's Tail
 * Devourers - Jura's Fangs
 * Conquering Five - Jura's Wing
 * Archon - Jura's Head
 * Arhat - Jura's Heart

Troops
Power Trooper= "More power straight into your skull!"


 * Common usage - Main Combat
 * Weapons - Nuclear Bolters, Radiation Pulse Pistols
 * Defenses - Power Armor

The most common troop used, they are mainly Vanaris Hecate. Power Troops are used by the Rad-Eaters to clear out the area outside of enemy defenses of troops. Daringly charging straight into no man's land Power troops are sent in to clear the way for the Breacher Troops so that they can close in and take out enemy fortifications. When on the defensive the Power Troops meet the enemy head on in no man's land, regardless the Power Troopers are the first to meet the enemy. They are armed with nuclear bolters fused to their shoulders to take out enemies at rang and radiation pulse pistols lock into their mouth beneath their tongue to blast those foes that get too close.

Marauder Trooper= "Go ahead, run and hide, it will make this all the more fun for us."

Next most common type of troop and also mostly Vanris Hecate, and are used to clear out enemy defenses. Sent in after the Breachers have crippled the enemy defense, the Marauders pour in en mass swarming their foes at close quarters making sure that none escape. In defensive situations they patrol the trenches and fornications for enemies removing any invaders. Marauders are armed with chainswords equipped to their tails, and nuclear bolt pistols under their tongue.
 * Weapon - Chainswords, Nuclear Bolt Pistols
 * Defenses - Power Armor

Breacher Trooper= "If you can't walk around it...destroy it, if you can...destroy it anyway!"

Breacher troops are used to for siege warfare and defense. They are sent in after the Power Troopers to breach the enemy fortifications. When on the defensive they man the walls so that the enemy when they strike smash head long into and almost impenetrable wall of soldiers. They are mostly Vanaris Atlas and wield nuclear bolt pistols, have atom cutters fused into one of their arms, and wield a construction chevron-striped storm shield.
 * Weapons - Nuclear Bolt Pistol, Atom Cutter
 * Defenses - Heavy Power Armor, Storm Shield

Jump Trooper= "Look up maybe you will see us coming, fat lot of good its going to do you."

Mostly Vanaris Helios, jump troops are used to ambush their enemies. They are sent in small strike forces with the Power Troopers to get up close to the enemy defenses and than leap over them with their jet packs to invade the enemies space and spread confusion so that when the main attack forces arrives the enemy fortifications are easier to breach and capture. When under attack they stalk along the top of the trenches looking for interlopers and when they locate they strike from on high dive bombing the invaders. They wield chainswords on their tails and radiation pulse pistols under their tongues. Squad Leaders have a Hyper Gravity Gun locked into their body cavity allowing them to literally spit a bolt of gravity that can crush enemy vehicles and troops.
 * Usuage - Close Combat, Ambush
 * Weapons - Chainswords, Radiation Pulse Pistols, Hyper Gravity Gun
 * Defenses - Power Armor, Jetpack

Devastator Trooper= "The bigger the gun, the more of a mess it will make of you."

The Vanaris Atlas heavy weapons specialists of the Rad-Eaters, they wild nuclear rotation bolters and shoulder mounted nuclear heavy bolters.
 * Usage - Heavy Weapons
 * Weapons - Heavy Nuclear Bolters, Nuclear Rotating bolters
 * Defenses - Power Armor

Destroyer Trooper= "Nuke fucking EVERYTHING!!!"

The most dangerous of all Rad-Eater troops, Vanaris Atlas troops used to completely destroy enemies and their vehicles. They are armed with shoulder mounted radiation launchers, and their body cavity contains a nuclear cannon to destroy their enemies utterly. Squad Leaders come armed with Gravity Imploder in place of the Nuclear Cannon.
 * Use - Complete enemy destruction and anti-vehicle warfare
 * Weapons - Radiation Launchers, Nuclear Cannon, Gravity Imploder
 * Defenses - Heavy Power Armor

Attrition Trooper= "Living death pours from our bodies, to burn your life away and purge the land."

The second most dangerous of all Rad-Eater troops, these Vanaris Atlas's are used to render areas of land completely useless. They are deployed in areas were the enemy is gathering resources to sabotage their efforts as well as being used in close in enclosed spaces to fill it with deadly mist choking out the enemy. They have weapons called death spewers locked into their body cavity causing a burning yellow radioactive mist to come from their mouth, nose, and other body openings. The mist is attracted to movement, making it seemingly alive (which it could very well be).
 * Use - Attrition and Scorched Earth warfare
 * Weapons - Death Spewers
 * Defenses - Heavy Power Armor, Jetpack (at times)

Sonic Trooper= "Perpare to hear the sound that signals your demise!"

Once a looked down on massively, the sonic troopers have since gained more acceptance from their fellows with the use of musical bands such as Rammstein, Eisbreacher, and others. They play a very different role than the sonic troops of other Chapters. They act as saboteurs, planting easily hidden sonic bombs that then go off blasting apart enemies structures and killing enemies troops with the continuous concussive waves. On the battle field they play less of a combat role and instead use their music to whip the Rad-Eaters up into a battle frenzy and terrify enemies with the loud booming aggressive sounding vocals. They are mostly Vanarais Helios.
 * Use - Sabotage, Physiological Warfare
 * Weapons - Sonic Blaster, Blastmaster, Sonic Bombs

Mourners= "Feel the despair, feel the darkness. Let it immobilize your body, let it erode your mind, and let it consume your soul."

Mourners are the the Rad-Eaters version of the Psychic troops other Olympian Chapters wield. Psychic sorcerys normally cause that Rad-Eaters great pain, but Mourners seem to be the exception to this rule. All females Mourners wield powerful gravity sinker that generates an area of intense gravity that draws enemies towards it and slows them down and force katanas to destroy their foes. In battle they produce an aura of dark melancholy that demoralizes enemy soldiers and causes machinery to fail. They can also unleash more physical attacks, flaying their foes alive and smashing them with a blast of psychokinesis. They are also the ones responsible for weaving the Rad-Eaters weapons and other equipment into their flesh and fusing them. The aura they generate also renders psychic attacks useless meaning these troops also double as anti-psychic Culexic Troops.
 * Weapons - Gravity Sinker, Force Katana
 * Defense - Power Armor

Devourers= "We devour all those who threaten our Archon and Arhat."

The guard's of the Rad-Eaters Archon and Arhat. The Devourers are some of the most fear troops to ever grace the battle field. made up of Vanaris Atlases only, Devourers are armed with Chem-Cannons as well as chainweaponry, mantrap-headed whips, barbed flails and other fearsome weapons that can behead or "devour" enemies. The a fiercely loyal and fanatically devoted to their Archon and Arhat swearing that nothing shall be allowed to harm them under any circumstances.
 * Weapons - Chem Cannons, Chainweaponry, Mantrap-Headed Whips, Barbed Flails, Other
 * Defense - Power Armor

Contemptors
Grendel Contemptor Trooper=
 * Weapons - Radiation Missiles, Masers, Death Spewer, Nuclear Cannon

Beast-Pattern Contemptor Walker= Rad-Eaters that are rendered comatose or similarly disabled with no hope for recovery can be infused into the cores of massive Contemptor walkers. While using normal Contemptor walkers as differ from other chapters Contemptors in their beast like nature (earning them their name Beast Contemptor) and are mostly organic having more in common with the organic Chaser Warrior-Hunters than they do other Contemptors. Indeed the man who designed the Chaser (the Vanara scientist ) designed these very Contemptors and engineered the Rad-Eaters gene-seed. The Contemptor initially starts out as a mechanical frame, when a Rad-Eater is incorporated into the core some of their DNA is extracted and used to grow the walkers organic portion which is then hooked up to the Rad-Eater. These Contemptors are reptilian in shape and form with long bent legs, extremely long arms, hunched over back, four green eyes, and a massive mouth filled with teeth. The Beast Contemptor are not only incredibly agile and mobile in comparison to other Contemptors, but less heavily armored. They can breath fire, rip enemies to pieces with their chain teeth and claws, and hypnotize their foes that look directly into their four green eyes.
 * Usage - Heavy combat, brute force
 * Weapons - Fire Breath, Chain Teeth and Claws, Hypnotic Eyes

Verhicles
While the Rad-Eaters despise many kinds of ground-based vehicles, they have no problem with air-based ones, seeing them as powerful combat machines capable of nuking the ground beneath them. Indeed the Rad-Eaters prefer bombers over all other types of craft. However, to say that make no use of ground-based verhicles is entirely wrong, they do use them, but in far lesser qualities than other chapters.

Ground Verhicles
Ceros-class Armored Transport= The Ceros-Class Armored Transport Vehicle was designed at about the same time as the Predator, though was designed less for a combat role, and more of a supporting function, compared with the mightier Predator Tank. Heavily armored, moderately fast, and armed with a anti-infantry gunner position, the Ceros-Class has remained the steed of choice within the Olympian chapters throughout the Alliance, and it's traitor chapters.
 * Usage - Anti-infantry role, troop transportation

Amusingly, the Ceros was based off a mining and scout vehicle used by far off mining forces who worked in hazardous planets. However, military providers to the Olympians picked up on the design, and bought them from the company that made them, and repurposed them into a "Steed" for the Alliances' "knights". Coming armed with a simple anti-infantry gunner position on it's top, the Ceros can be upgraded with more weapon systems and defenses by it's users, and varies from chapter to chapter. Few keep its basic design.

The Ceros has heavy armor, protecting it's warrior-occupants as it escorts them across the field. Once it deploys it's warriors, they will use it for cover, as it's pilots help them by attacking enemies alongside them. Due to magnetic manipulation with the inner-workings of the Ceros, the transport can move across water, or, if further modified, glide short distances.

Icarus-class Anti-Air tank= The Icarus-class Anti-air Tank is modified from hybrid designs of the Ceros and Predator, combining the durability and moderate speed of both to make an anti-aircraft platform worthy of the Olympians.
 * Use - Long ranged anti-aircraft verhicle

It comes in armed with two oversized rotating heavy bolders on the top of the hull, one on each side of the verhicle. In between is oten an radar, used to seach for enemy aircraft.

However, since it's rotataing bolters can be risen and lowered at will, as well as rotated to the left and right, the Icarus can be as effectively used against infantry and ground verhicles.

Barrage-class Missile Tank= The Barrage-class Tank is an alternative design of the Icarus-class Anti-Air Tank, to make a siege platform worthy of the Olympians.
 * Use - Ranged siege warfare

Coming armed with twin Missile launching pods, the Barrage can send out 4 missiles from each at quite a long range, before it reloads. It can be upgraded with a missile pod that contains much more, much smaller missiles, up to 20 in fact. However, regardless the amount of missiles that are able to be fired in one shot, all are fired in an arc, and thereforeenemy they cannot be used against aircraft, only against enemy fortications.

The Barrage is heavily armored, though does not have as many layers as the Predator, due to the fact that it lacks a direct combat role, being more used for support. It is often used against cities, showering them with missiles along with bombing runs to break the inhabitants, and weaken it's garrisons.

Quake-class Heavy Missile Tank= The Quake-Class Heavy Missile Tank is another alternative design of the Icarus-class Anti-Air Tank. The most formidable Olympian seige platform todate, they are never the less only used by a few chapters, like the Steelrollers and mostly the Rad-Eaters, due to the highly specialized role of this tank.
 * Use - Heavy seige/anti-aircraft verhicle

It comes in with a special missile cannon known as an Quack Cannon that is designed to fire one, extremely powerful missile almost as long as the tank. This missile is so stong, in fact, that it shatters the very ground apater it strikes, and causes a small tremor. To make matters worse, the Rad-Eaters often stock up this missile with radioactive materials, so it transform into a mini-nuke upon impact.

The Quake is heavily armored, far more so than other tanks, and therefore moves at an extremely slow rate. However, this thick armor was required as this tank features no other weapon than it's main cannon. It also needs to pin down it's hydraulic stabilisers into the earth during firing in order to stay stable, to retract these stabilizers before it can move. As such, it is often gaurded by a pair of other tanks, or a squad of Olympians.

Air Verhicles
Talonstrike-class Gunship= The smallers of the Rad-Eaters aircraft, slightly smaller than the Lightningwyvern, the Talonsrtike has more in common with an chopper than an regular fighter. These small ships can easily be stored in larger craft and released from the hangar bay in formations. Having room for only one pilot, they still are remarkably durable and can ditch this damage out as well. They can easily destroy whole platoons of enemy infantry below, using nuclear heavy bolters and nuclear rotation bolters to accomplish this job. When attacked by other ships, Talonstrikes are able to fire powerfull, short-ranged radiation missiles to drive them away.
 * Usage - Air-to-Ground Ship
 * Weapons - Nuclear Heavy Bolters, Nuclear Rotating Bolters, Radiation Missiles

Shockbasilisk-class Fighter= The basic aircraft of the Rad-Eaters, the Shockbasilisk is used to engage other aircraft in the skies. Quite fast and heavily armed, Shockbasilisks attack their other aircraft with air-to-air radiation missiles or smack them down with their gravity cannon. When other aircraft come to close, they defend themselves with their nuclear heavy bolters and nuclear rotation bolters.
 * Usage - Fighter
 * Weapons - Nuclear Heavy Bolters, Nuclear Rotating Bolters, Radiation Missiles, Gravity Cannon

Lightningwyvern-Class Interceptor= Of all the Rad-Eater's aircraft, the Lightningwyvern is arguably the fastest and most agile. Used to intercept the enemy, when enemy aircraft fly over the fortifications of the Rad-Eaters, the Lightningwyvern is quickly deployed to remove the threat to their airspace. Rocketing off from the ground, the Lightningwyvern zeros in on it's targets swiftly and effectively obliterating several enemies in one shot with their air-to-air miniature nukes, masers, or their snout-based gravity cannon.
 * Usage - Interceptor, Dogfighter
 * Weapons - Nuclear Missiles, Masers, Gravity Cannon

Thunderdrake-class Bomber= Powerful bombers, Thunderdrakes are used to annihilate enemy vehicles in deadly air to ground strikes. Deployed against enemy supply lines and armored advances, the Thunderdrake swoops down low, blasting their targets to smithereens with their air-to-ground miniature nuclear missiles launched en masse from their missile launchers, before peeling off. If they come under fire by enemy aircraft, they can use their gravity cannon to smack said aircraft against the ground. They are especially hated by the rivals of the Rad-Eaters, the Steelrollers, who prefer to use of verhicles above all else.
 * Usage - Bomber
 * Weapons - Nuclear Missile Launchers, Gravity Cannon, Nuclear Bombs

Galeamphithere-class Stealth Flyer= Fast, swift, fluid, and stealthy, the Galehawk is one of the rarest Rad-Eater vehicles. When an important target lays entrenched to deeply in enemy territory, these quiet, streamlined monsters are called in. Equipped with cloaking devices, these stealth bombers fly in under cover of darkness to unleash hell upon the Rad-Eater's enemies without warning. They are armed with an Gravity Cannon, air to ground miniature nuclear missiles, miniature nuclear bombs, and masers.
 * Usage - Stealth Ship
 * Weapons - Nuclear Missile launchers, Nuclear Bombs, Maser, Gravity Cannon

Cyclonedragon-class Air Superiority Fighter= One of the most powerful and rarest of all Rad-Eater air craft, the Vortexdragon is designed to complexly seize and maintain control of enemy air space. Fast and maneuverable the Vortexdragon is designed to utterly outclass enemy aircraft as well as destroy anti-aircraft units and annihilated structures from which enemy aircraft are deployed. Armed with Nuclear Rotating Bolters, Nuclear Missile Launcher, Masers, Nuclear Bombs, and powerful Gravity Cannon the Vortexdragon can easily dominate most other aircraft and ground targets. Also when flying the Vortexdragon produces a shimmering after image that disorients enemy pilots, targeting, and tracking systems.
 * Usage - Seizing Control of Enemy Air Space
 * Weapons - Nuclear Rotating Bolters, Nuclear Missile Launcher, Masers, Gravity Cannon, Nuclear Bombs

Stormlung-class Transport= The largest of all the Rad-Eater's aircraft and also one of the most important. Due to their lack of ground based transport, which they despise, they are reliant on the air-based transport to travel long distances or on their own feet. The Stormlung is a massive aircraft capable of transporting a large amounts of troops, supplies, and equipment. Capable of a vertical take off and landing, the Stormlung comes armed with nuclear heavy bolters, nuclear rotation bolters, radiation missile launchers, masers, and a massive gravity cannon.
 * Usage - Transport, Maintaining Control of Air Space
 * Weapons - Gravity Cannon, Positron Cannon, Masers, Nuclear Heavy Bolters, Nuclear Rotating Bolters, Nuclear Missile Launchers

However, thse ships serve as much more than that. Fast, powerful, heavily armed and nigh-indestructible, they are also use to maintain control of the airspace they are deployed in destroying any ememy ships near them with their massive amount of firepower, effectively being capable of serving many roles at once.

Specialized Equipment
Radiation Pulse Pistol= A fairly common weapon that is used to surprise the Rad-Eaters enemies as it is often hidden under the tongue. This small gun fires of a pulse of highly concentrated, radioactive plasma that burns through armor and flesh with relative ease. Mostly instantly lethal though if the enemy does not drop dead right then and there they will more then likely die of radiation poisoning. The Pulse is also extremely painful to those hit by it.

Nuclear Bolters= Despite what the name says these weapons have very little to nothing in common with actual bolters safe for the outward resemblance. They are actually a type of lightweight Rail Gun that fires projectiles that explode when they strike a target in a small nuclear blast that annihilates most enemies and cripples most vehicles on the spot. The blast also sends small amounts of radioactive shrapnel into surrounding enemies, causing further destruction.

Atom Cutter= Used to cut through walls and enemies, this is the preferred weapon of the rad-Eaters Breacher troopers. Fused to their arm this powerful weapon generates a high intensity, short range stream of radioactive plasma that can cut through most materials with ease

Radiation Launchers= The preferred weapon of Rad-Eater Destroyer Troops, these large bulky cannons are fused to the Rad-Eaters shoulder and fired via mental command. They are in effect the same as the Rad-Eaters Radiation Pulse Pistol, but generate a large, white hot bot of radioactive plasma that explodes on impact, powerful enough to cripple most vehicles with one shot.

Nuclear Cannon= The other and most powerful weapon of Destroyer Troops, this highly destructive weapon is fused into the Rad-Eater's body cavity, causing his body ad chest to open up when it is ready to fire. It fires a miniature nuclear warhead that explodes in blast that destroys everything in it's blast radius, but can only be fired once.

Death Spewers= The weapon of choice for Rad-Eater Attrition Troopers, like the nuclear cannon this weapon is placed inside the Rad-Eaters body cavity, but does not require the Rad-Eater's chest and stomach to open up. Rather it ejects it's payload out of the Rad-Eater's mouth and nose. The Death Spewer releases a seething radioactive mist that burns with whitish-yellow flames that are somehow attracted to movement. The truth is that this mist is actually alive, being a type of air born fungus found deep underground in the Worldship of Behemoth.

War Beasts
The Rad-Eaters also make use of various other forms of beasts to bolster their ranks.

Cabraen= Viscous blood sucking creatures, Cabraen resemble a hairless hyena with large bat like wings, glowing red eyes, and toothless mouth except for two blood sucking fangs. Cabraen fly or charge across the terrain zeroing in on their victims, once they get close enough they pounce unleashing a sulfuric yellow spray that eats away at it's target's skin. The Cabraen then sinks it's fangs into feed draining it's prey of blood.

Cambion= Cambion are some of the most feared and despised Rad-Eater war beasts to scour the battle field. Cambion fly on bat like wings seeking out targets, when they find one they swoop down before carrying them away and draining them of vital fluids with their fangs. Corpses are then dropped or used to decorate the Cambion's nests as sinister ornaments.

Gorgoids= Saber fanged mammal like reptiles the size of rhinos, Gorgoids hunt in packs or alone. Incredibly tenacious Gorgoids will never give up the hunt and will pursue their prey across an entire planet. Their armored hides are extremely tough, indeed it take quite a lot to take down a Gorgoid never mind a pack of them.

Sprarax= Terrifying creatures with cat like bodies wrapped in a black husk, glossy humanoid faces, scorpion like tails, and raven like wings, used to guard important places. Sprarax can speak, but to not understand what they are saying merely repeating at random words they have heard in their eerie hissing voices. They eaisly blend into the shadows of the Rad-Eater's trenches and barricades pouncing on unsuspecting intruders and ripping them to pieces.

Chapter Fleet
The ships in the fleet of the Rad-Eaters could be best described as guns with more guns attached and cargo hold, and bridge stuck on as an after thought. While also backed up by the typical run of Vanara Ships, they make use of their own personal designs. The Rad-Eaters rarely decorate or even bother to paint their ships resulting in a rather worn, space junky look. The Rad-Eater have never been really good at name things since the Black Thorns tend to name everything for them and the Black Thorns were not in the mood to name every ship(except the flagship), so the Rad-Eaters tend to refer to them by their physical attributes or let their allies do it for them if they feel like it.

Organization
While the organization of the Rad-Eaters is similar to most other Olympian Chapters, there is the difference in the fact that they use draconic titles when referring to their hierarchy and organization. This tradition is shared with, and possibly stems from the Brave Burners, as the Rad-Eaters only started to use such tarms after they had ousted Agron, wich happened with the help of the Brave Burners. The Brave Burners honor the Rad-Eaters equally, using non-radioactive Rad-Eater aircraft instead of typical Olympian ones. The Brave Burners have also started to spread the worship of Jura amongst the Lavatuft people, hoping to use it to replace the memories of the "Hell Dragon" that once plagued their homeworld, Volcantis.

Most notably is the referral to their Squads as Scales and a daily meeting's of a Vector's key personal as a Clutch, a Clutch is a purely functional meeting as no real excitement is ever really had. Vectors, while not seeming a draconic term it should be noted that the Boronic Wryms the Rad-Eaters so venerate and share are descendants of a now extinct four legged winged draconic beasts of massive size for which only fossils have been found, posses a series of stinger like tongues called "vectors". However, it is also a mainstream Vanara military term as well. 1st Vector=

Lucy= The Rad-Eaters Ahrat, Lucy is massive cyborg creature of unknown origin. Lucy has a child like fun loving personality that makes ill suited for leadership, but is armed to the teeth and thus acts as a the Rad-Eaters ace in the hole. Lucy has a powerful twin maser cannons equip in her mouth, drill missile launchers in the shoulders, plasma blasters and maser swords on her wrists, hands can collapse into drills, absolute zero cannon and positron cannon in her chest, and can generate a aura of emotions to strengthen her allies's moral and weaken her enemy's. When enraged Lucy can "shed her innocence" causing her body and armor to morph into that of a savage beast. In this form she gains enhanced speed, agility, strength, and senses.

Argon†= "You cannot destroy me, I'am invincible!"

Argon was the former Archon of the Rad-Eaters before Vice-Jaw usurped his position. A blood red Vanaris Atlas, Argon was a rage filled brute that absolutely despised troops that were not warriors by nature (such as psychic and sonic troops) forcing those under his command to ostracize their brothers and sisters, against their wishes. While the majority of the Rad-Eaters absolutely hated their Archon, none of them could do anything against the massive Vanris Atlas who had been augmented with strange nails implanted throughout his skull by a group of proto-Singularity Vanara, making him even more powerful. While Agron at first hated what he had become, the nails soon overrode this tought as well as any rational tought process, turing him into the psychotic brute he was.
 * Name - Argon
 * Species - Vanaris Atlas
 * Role - Former Archon

Thus the Rad-Eaters could do nothing against him until Vice-Jaw was incorporated into a Contemptor Walker. Challenging Argon for command of the Rad-Eaters, Vice-Jaw stated that the Rad-Eaters were hated enough as is and should not discriminate among their own and that such was against the very ideals of the UAE. Argon laughed at this, stating that he intended to no longer serve the UAE, but instead to traitor over to the Drakodominatus Tyranny in the hopes of them easing his pains not even his battle-brothers did understand, courced into this by the berserkers overseers known as the Berserkers of Brutego. Vice-Jaw solved this problem quickly and efficiently by stomping Argon into the dirt leaving only a bloody, flattened mess.

After this any of those loyal to Argon, would be rooted out and excommunicated, though many would eventually see the errors of their ways, and rejoin the Rad-Eaters, eventually becoming their descendant Chapters known as the Olympians Malicious. With Argon dead, the Rad-Eaters would turn utterly from his teachings and quite literally excommunicated him from their minds with most not even being able to recall his name.

Vice Jaw= Vice Jaw is a massive, four legged, saurian Contemptor. He is cover in silver armor with glowing red eyes, and black-on-yellow construction chevrons on his lower arm- and lower leg pads, and a radioactievty symbol stamped on his chest in black ink that glows green in the dark. He also has his chapter's symbol on his right shoulder pads, as have all Olympians, as his left one is in the shape of a giant skull. He is equipped with massive bone crushing jaws and a hard metal shell on his back. Vice Jaw is aggressive and violent, destroying anything that gets in his way and does not tolerant insubordination of any sort. He is however very cunning cable of comming up with surprisingly effective (if rather straight forward) strategies. He also has a basic code of honor, which he follows to the letter and despite is gruffness cares very deeply for the other Rad-Eaters, even those generally looked down on such as sonic troops and imposes strict laws to make sure they are treated equally. Vice Jaw cares little for glory or recognition believing that the only person he needs approval from is himself and his Chapter. Despite his own violent tendencies, Vice Jaw abhors unnecessary violence and blood shed maintaining strict laws against killing unarmed combatants and civilians. However he has no such qualms about killing politicians who support war, in fact they are his preferred target.

Carnage= "Me Carnage, me crush you, me smash you, me rip you, me break you, and me squash you like a bug!"


 * Name - Carnage
 * Species - Vanaris Atlas
 * Role - 1st Vector Commander

The leader of Vice Jaw's body guards the Devourers, Carnage is a rather infamous Vanaris Atlas to say the least. With his blood red fur scorched black in some places, Carnage charges into battle, completely berserk. At first fanatically loyal to Argon, he later on switched loyalty to Vice Jaw and would now give his life for his current Archon should it be required. Carnage, despite his utterly berserk attitude for most parts, can actually be quite calm outside battle when needed to, and often serves as a voice of reason to those under his command. He is great friends with Pollux, the Archon of the Black Crusaders, and one of the few people allowed to ride his horse, Kadin'alur. An honor Carnage appreciates quite a bit. Now aware of the monster Argon was, Carnage feels real guilt for his actions and believes he must atone for his crimes, this drove him to spear head many of the Rad-Eater's reforms all by himself.

Caraeveus†= "The cowards! The fools! They hide in metal boxes! We...We must take away their metal boxes!"


 * Name - Caraeveus
 * Species - Vanara Helios
 * Role - Formerly 3th Vector Commander

Caraeveus was one of the most known members of the Rad-Eaters, not only for his sheer hatred towards the Steelrollers, but also due to his near-insanity that the merciless nature of siege warfare has brought upon him.

Caraveveus started out as any other Vanara Helios of the Rad-Eaters, but soon gained an personal preference for hand-to-hand combat, preferring the use of a maul-axe in combat, and started to disdain the use of vehicles. On one particular battle against the Tyranny and her allies, he was tasked with overseeing the construction of a massive minefield while his close friend Vice Jaw was in charge of the command overall. However, despite their hard work, their positions were being overrun. Then, an distress call was made, one only answered by the Steelrollers. They dropped behind the Rad-Eater's line to save the amount of their own troops lost, and then had their vehicles plough forwards, not only destroying most of the Rad-Eaters' bunkers but also bombing Caraveveus' minefields in order to progress further onwards. Caraeveus was outraged by this, and in his first fit of near-insanity, branded the Steelroller's vehicles "metal boxes" and refusing to enter a ground-based vehicle ever since. Over time, he gained a fierce rivalry with the Steelroller who had ordered the bombing of his beloved minefield, a Force Commander going by the name of Indrak Baldarin.

Eventually, the Steelrollers and their closest brothers, the Iron Skulls came under the influence of the cybernetic Bachyeon and Grox, and plotted to betray the UAE while dealing as much damage to the Olympian chapters that distrusted them (witch was the majority). When an system on the outskirts of Federation territory came under control of an Bachyeon beacon located in their main city, and launched rebellion, the Steelrollers saw this as the perfect time, since Vice Jaw and Lucy were away. With their as-treasonous brothers the Iron Skulls, and the loyalist Creeds known as the Plague Guardians, the Brave Burners and the Rad-Eaters, the Steelrollers began their assault. Knowing the steelrollers were the best tacticans of them all, Caraveveus grudgingly left overall command to them. The city was divided into 5 main targets: The palace and nearby forges with would be targeted by the Brave Burners, the tunnel/trench network east of the city with was the target of the Rad-Eaters, the bunkers west of the city with were the target of the Steelrollers, the underground with would be targeted by the Iron Skulls, and the beacon area with would be targeted by the Plague Guardians.

What Caraeveus did not know, was that the bunkers and underground had anti-viral protection while the rest hadn't. When the Steelrollers and Iron Skulls had claimed their positions, they suddenly unleashed an extremely potent virus that only the Plague Guardians could withstand. However, the virus also created a lot of incendiary gasses, and with a single lance of energy, the whole city was aflame, burning the Plague Guardians as well. The Brave Burners were in turn unharmed, but most had already been felled by the baleful virus unleashed minutes before. Once the firestorm died down as well, the Steelrollers and Iron skulls came out of their air-tight fortification s and started to scour for survivors to kill, while drawing an Cyber Collective fleet near. Little they knew, but Caraeveus and his Rad-Eaters had survived as well, as did approximately 1/3th of Plague Guardians who had hidden from the firestorm in time, and 1/3th of the Brave Burned who whom the virus had missed and who of course had been unaffected by the firestorm.

The Plague Guardians and Brave Burners had their Ahrats with them, and under their leadership, managed to ward off the assaults of their treasonous brothers without extreme losses, but the Rad-Eaters were not so lucky. After warning Vice Jaw and Lucy, they descended into a terrible berserking madness, pouring out of the tunnels they had taken refuge in, heedless of danger, and clashed against the Steelroller's vehicles and mechanizations en masse. Caraeveus himself led these assaults, and managed to hold the Rad-Eater's positions for quite some time, despite the fact that the Rad-Eaters had deployed without vehicles. Just as Caraeveus believed he had warded off the Steelroller's attack completely, a fresh wave of drop pods rained down on top of their positions, and from them more Steelroller Olympians emerged, led by Caraeveus' greatest rival, Indrak Baldarin. After a fierce duel between the 2 (and much insults from Caraeveus' side), Indrak finally crippled Caraeveus, retreated, had Caraeveus watch helplessly as his hated "metal boxes" pulverized his closest under their treads and missiles, and then crushed the Rad-Eater's captain by calling down a drop pod right on him.

Carull= "Rip those metal boxes open! Gather my that sorry pilots' skull...I will have it as MY CUP!"


 * Name - Carull
 * Species - Vanara Helios
 * Role - 3th Vector Commander

Carull is the current 3th vector Commander, after his brother, Caraeveus, was killed in action my the Steelrollers. Carull would lead an charge against the Steelrollers, but would be crippled and left to die in his own pool of blood. However, his sister resqued him, and he was put into an Contemptor walker to survive, tubes pumping combat stimulants right into his brain, going right trough his skull and neck. The face of Carulls' Contemptor Walker is extremely skull-like, rotting flesh hanging from it, and mimicks these traits. On the chast of his Contemptor Walker are various holes, so his blood might flow as freely as that of his foes. He also wearns a rugged, tattered cape of bloodied animal fur from his back and partially on his shoulders.

As insane as his brother, Carull comes in armed with an rotating heavy bolter that causes the blood of his foes to jet out with extreme force, literally drowing them in it. His main weapon, however, is an four-bladed battle axe, that he calls an mace-axe. Carull has made special modifications to his Contemptor walker so that he might continue to drink the blood of his foes. On his belly hang various skulls at the end of barbed chains, that he can use as grenades in combat.

Carull is completely dedictated to the destruction of the Steelrollers, having little thought for anything else, other than drowning his foes in their own blood and gathering their skulls.

Scorn= "Ya betta watch out, cause I'mma red-furred, hot-blooded, shotgun-wielding, radioactive, bat outta hell!"


 * Name - Scorn
 * Species - Vanara Helios
 * Role - 13th Vector Commander

Scornis the Rad-Eater's 13th Vector Commander, notable to be one of the few female Olympians ever. How exactly she became enhanced is unknown, since Olympian Gene-Seed normally only works with males, opposed to Vahallan Gene-Seed with only (normally) works with females. Sister to the now deceased captain Caraevus, she seeks revenge against the Steelrollers and force commander Indrak Baldarin.

Daring, adventurous, and some might say crazy, Scorn is one of the best scouts of the Rad-Eaters, famed for her ability to appear anywhere before shooting her enemies to bits. As the Rad-Eaters Scout Commander looks after initiates and trains them into becoming ful Rad-Eaters. Her own rounds are filled with a special type of blood coagulant that causes the target's arteries to fill with so many clots that their blood stops flowing altogether, resulting in a slow painful death, there is also no known way to neutralize the coagulant and it causes so many clots that any sort of surgery to remove them would be futile. Like her bother, Scorn is well know for her borderline suicidal tactics.

After the conflict in which the Steelrollers and Iron Skulls rebelled occurred, Scorn was one of the few surviving Rad-Eaters on-planet, she was found injured and exhausted by Vice Jaw and Lucy later and manged to tell them the story of what had happened, before passing out. Scorn is romantically interested is Vice Jaw, but knows that both of them must put their own personal demons to rest before they go that far, which will only happen with the Steelroller's destruction.

Toxic= "Once upon a time I was a normal Vanaris Helios, I joined the Rad-Eaters, I was wounded and then some traitor of the Shadowed Claw mixed the gene-seed of my chapter with some corrupt version of that of the Plague Guardians and Peacebringers. Now listen up, we all know that various gene-seed can be mixed as new chapters are at times created this way, but that Darkling-serving bastard added some of his own mutations to the mix. Thus mutating me into this mess I am now."


 * Name - Toxic
 * Species - Vanaris Helios
 * Role - 12th Vector Commander

The reason why Olympian gene-seed should not be mixed with other Olympian gene-seed by a Darkling Servant and then mutated, Toxic is a bipedal mutant abomination of a Vanaris Helios, with never-healing deep scars all across his body, a tongue that constantly hangs out of his mouth, and blistered skin that is a sickly lime-yellow in color. Toxic, before adopting that name, was wounded in the battle that occurred during the betrayal of the Steelrollers and the Iron Skulls. He was rescued by a medic trooper corps of the Plague Guardians, and since no Rad-Eater gene-seed was directly available, they healed him with a bit of their own. This worked out well, and many wondered what would happen if they added pieces of the other chapter's gene-seed to him, hoping to transform him into the ultimate Olympian.

This may have had a chance at succeeding had a Fallen Olympian of the Shadowed Claws not gotten word of this. Peacebringer gene-seed has always had a reputation as being extremely unstable, and the traitor was therefore easily able to poison it with a Darkling virus that caused it to mutate uncontrollably. However, it was still implanted by the unaware Medic Troopers. The result transformed the Rad-Eater Olympian into the monsterus, half insane, Neue Deutsche Härte loving, abomination known as Toxic. Toxic is one of the few Rad-Eater Sonic Troopers, and their commander, passing his love of bands like Rammstein, Eisbrecher, Die Krupps, Megaherz, etc, down to them.

The Rad-Eaters used to look down on Sonic Troopers, and as such the Sonic troopers they have lived in isolation, with only Toxic being generally accepted due to this combat prowess and having introduce music the Rad-Eaters enjoy. Especially since the music of bands such as Rammstein has proven especially useful at whipping the Rad-Eaters into battle frenzy quicker, gaining sonic troops better if not total acceptance as a whole. Despite his insane and violent nature, Toxic believes that he must protect the innocent and becomes almost inconsolable when he finds dead non-combatants after a battle, especially children.

Anti= "Tell you a secret...I don't like you."


 * Name - Anti
 * Species - Vanaris Atlas
 * Role - 5th Vector Commander

The pale white, almost completely silent Vanaris Atlas commander of the Rad-Eaters 5th Vector. Anti cares about no one and nothing, having no emotional connections, meaning that he has no problems in sending troops to their death or even himself. Extremely underhanded and not afraid of playing the game dirty, Anti has no problems in starving enemy civilians to death and fully believes in the justification of collateral damage. When in combat, Anti creeps up on his foes before unleashing the full force of his death spewer leaving them writing in a cloud of radioactive death. Anti's extreme asocial behavior comes from the fact that he has lost to many comrades in battle and so refuses to care about those under his command so that he will always be able to make the correct logical decisions instead of ones ruled by his emotions. Due to this, he acts as a voice of reason to the other Rad-Eaters to some extend.

Carrie= "My vengeance upon you is at hand!"

Carrie the leader of the Rad-Eaters 11th Vector is one of the few female Olympians out there. The Rad-Eaters use females because for one the idea of gender role means nothing to them and second their own Arhat is female. Carrie is quiet distant person who does not socialize well with others and has few friends. On the battle field though she becomes a nearly unstoppable engine of destruction projecting an aura of dark melancholia and melancholy that is so strong her enemies fall dead at her feet having completely lost the will to live.
 * Name - Carrie
 * Species - Vanaris Helios
 * Role - 11th Vector Commander

Plastic Blue= "Hello! How are...FUCK OFF!!!"

Plastic Blue or Plastic for short is the female 2nd Vector Commander to the Rad-Eaters, and an expert in armored warfare. Plastic is named for her blue plastoid armor fused to her skin, she is an incredibility skilled hacker and also quite a capable sniper. Plastic is usually calm and polite, some might even say sweet, only to turn into a raving mad lunatic who will bite your head off at the slightest provocation.
 * Name - Plastic Blue
 * Species - Vanaris Hecate
 * Role - 2nd Vector Commander

Vergissmeinnicht= "If you survive, you will forget me not!"

A large, jet black Vanris Atlas Vergissmeinnicht is massive, even by Olympian standards standing a total three meters in height. This is due to the Rad-Eaters natural mutation causing his entire skeleton to grow giving him this massive frame. Load and boisterous Vergissmeinnicht is one of the more friendly Rad-Eaters enjoying good drink, good times, and a good brawl. Despite his good nature he is totally dedicated to job as the Leader of the Rad-Eater's 4th Vector and the destruction of his enemies defense and buildings. Vergissmeinnicht prefers to do things in the simplest and most damaging way possible causing maximum devastation. Instead of a Bolter he prefers to wield twin Demonica Harkonnen 1 Cannons.
 * Name - Vergissmeinnicht
 * Species - Vanaris Atlas
 * Role - 4rd Vector Commander

Dartmoor= A massive, shaggy black Gorgoid, Dartmoor is freakishly mutated into a massive size, with three slobbering heads, and covered in glowing red eyes. Looking as though he came straight from hell, it is unknown just where Dartmoor came from, and no one really cares to find out. Savage to the core Dartmoor is the leader of the Rad-Eater war beast packs. Twice the size of a regular Gorgoid(about the size of a rhino), his claws and teeth are like swords, and his saliva has an acidic quality, the threat of which is compounded by the fact that he is always drooling. Exteremly loyal though, Dartmoor often guards the entrance of the Rad-Eater's main base.
 * Name - Dartmoor
 * Species - Gorgoid
 * Role - Leader of the War Beast Packs

Conquering Five
It is dangerous for other species to become Rad-Eaters, this is due the fact that any being with an understanding of right and wrong would be killed by the innocence within the gene-seed. As a result only primitive beasts unable to understand right and wrong on any level can absorb it. The conquering five are the exception to this rule. During their various campaigns the Rad-Eaters have come across babies to young to have developed a moral compass, while most of these are taken in by other families within the UAE, five were never adopted and thus were taken in by the Rad-Eaters. Due the fact that they have yet to develop an understanding of morality on any level they are able to absorb the gene-seed rendering them radioactive. As a result of being raised by the Rad-Eaters the conquering five regard themselves as Vanara more than their own species and have features that pertain to Rad-Eaters such as black blood and horns.

Drain= "You think I'm cute?! You've got another thing coming!"

The female mutant commander of the Rad-Eaters 6th Vector and of unknown species. Drain was encountered as a baby when a group of Rad-Eaters had offered the services to the inhabitants of Matrukoris Sector Ra, better known as Hammerfall. There was no one in the Sector who could afford to feed another mouth and the Rad-Eaters didn't trust anyone else to raise the mutant. Thus, they took her in and raised her themselves, eventually enhancing her into one of the few female Olympians existing. Of course she mainly looks like a more bestial Vahallan because of this, but fights with the Rad-Eaters anyways. No one knows what species Drain was mutated from, though she looks vaguely human, and she herself claims to be something called a Chupacabra. Drain has blue hair with glowing red ends, blue skin, glowing red eyes with slit pupils as well as fangs, cat-ike ears, clawed hands and feet, retractable shield-like scales, bat-like wings, and a spade-shaped tail. Small and petite Drain looks cute to most others, however those who assume she is no threat are quickly proven wrong as Drain is a skilled tactician and lethal fighting machine. Drain is a fun loving, mischievous person with a penchant for playing pranks and snarking at people. However, to those that she dislikes, she can be incredibly mean spirited and cruel with little to no mercy for her foes.
 * Name - Drain
 * Species - Unknown, Mutant
 * Role - 8th Vector Commander

Fusion= "I want their DNA, even if I must eat them alive to get it."

An Orgaat who was discovered by the Rad-Eaters on a Mendel colony after it was ravaged by Zarbanian Centurions, taken in, Fusion was made into a Rad-Eater. He quickly rose through their ranks, becoming the Rad-Eaters 10th Vector Commander. Massive and powerful, Fusion is considered ugly by others, even for an Orgaat. He is far more hunched over and his skin is a leathery blackish grey, his feet have become far more stump-like and his hands have morphed to become giant, club like claws, his own head has shrunk down in size and he has become blind, though he has grwon horn-like feeers from his nostrils and his senses of smell and taste have become refined enough for it to replace his other senses. His most shocking feature though is his ability to split his jaws completely in two and extending a frill membrane, allowing him to swallow his foes whole. The source of these appearances comes from his habit of eating the flesh of fallen Kaiju that have been produced by the UAE's and their enemies respective projects. This has also made him twice the size of the regular Orgaat. Fusion has a very bestial and brutish personality, complete determined to complete his mission, he will let nothing stop him, plowing through his foes with ease. Unlike many Orgaat, Fusion has no problem with eating his foes while they are still alive, only really concerned with getting their DNA.
 * Name - Fusion
 * Species - Orgaat
 * Role - 10th Vector Commander

Anarchy= "You can predict where the outcome of my actions lie, fools."

The commander of the Rad-Eaters 8th Vector, Anarchy is one many of their adoptees. Surprisingly thin and skeletal with pale white skin and bright red eyes, Anarchy still packs a punch most of his body unseen due to the surprisingly heavy armor he runs around in, making him look like a miniature tank. Anarchy is named for his unpredictable and erratic behavior. It is hard to tell just exactly what he will do and how he will go about doing it. He might charge furiously in battle fighting with all his might before suddenly pulling back. Regardless of his actions, the Rad-Eaters are never hesitant to deploy him, knowing he is guaranteed to keep their enemies on their toes.
 * Name - Anarchy
 * Species - Skordi
 * Role - 7th Vector Commander

Angst= "*Groan* Nothing is according to plan, such a pain...Fine, I'll need to bail you chumps out...Again..."

Just as him name suggests, Angst can be best described as angsty. Constantly depressed and worrying about the future, he is said to make even the Hegemony's Mournful Sons look optimistic. He wields an heavy nuclear rotation bolter that can also fire an miniature nuke and has an massive chain-bayonet attached to underneath the barrel. Angst has jet black fur and is shockingly thin, almost looking malnourished, though he is in reality perfectly fine. Angst is very meticulous and detailed constantly worrying over every little bit of his plans to the point where even the most patient of Rad-Eaters can quickly become fed up with him. Despite this, he is good friends with Anarchy, the only person who can actually get him to calm down and take a chance instead of worrying all the time.
 * Name - Angst
 * Species - Ustmen
 * Role - 6th Vector Commander

Thrash= "I'M ANRGRY, always ANRGY, but now you've gone and made me REALLY ANGRY and you are going to REALLY PAY!!!"

The 7th Vector Commander of the Rad-Eaters and an adopted Spikron, Thrash is fast moving, tactical, and sharp toughed individual who is well know for being constantly angry and in a perpetual rage even when he is enjoying himself. Thrash is named for his habit a hitting his foes straight up, clearing out one trench before retreating and moving on to another in a sort of hot and run. He wields an multi-bladed sword and a hyper gravity gun that has become fused in his shoulder. Trash has developed a habit of fusing metal spikes to his body, so many so that the rest of the Rad-Eaters frequently referred to him, humorously, as a angry metal porcupine. Constantly mad and hot tempered, Thrash is always looking for a fight and is extremely tenacious.

Other Olympians

 * Brave Burners - The relation of the Rad-Eatters to the Brave Burners is what the relation of the Peacebringers is to the Queen's Children. The Rad-Eaters are closer to the Brave Bureners than any other Chapter, with only the Peacebringers coming close. The Brave Burners, while trying to be on good footing with other Olympian Chapters, actively defend the actions of Rad-Eaters. This comes to the point that both actively excange ideas and beliefs with each other, and have even combined their Gene-Seeds to create new Descendant Chapters.


 * Peacebringers - The Rad-Eaters are actually quite close to the Peacebringers. Both know the pain of being rejected and cast under suspicion by the other Chapters really well. While the Rad-Eaters sometimes find the habits of the Peacebringers a little annoying at times, they do enjoy the parties their fellow Olympians throw in and their heaps of table scraps and leftovers for the Rad-Eaters to munch on. The Peacebringer are usually willing to play fetch and tug of war with the Rad-Eaters as well. Their different tactics also complement each other rather well, with Peacebringers usually weakening the enemy with their blitzkrieg tactics, so that when the the Rad-Eaters start their charge, the defenses of the enemy will enviably break against them.


 * Grey Hunters - Upon the creation of the Rad-Eaters, the Grey Hunters preferred to stay away from them, believing the bestial Vanara to be doomed from the start. Even after Vice Jaw's reforms, the Grey Hunters kept an eye out for the Rad-Eaters, and this only ended when reconciliation and friendship with pure chapters like the Peacebringers and the Queen's Children were reached. Luckily, reconciliation between the two chapters was eventually reached as well, and now the Grey Hunters stand firmly besides the Rad-Eaters, willing to keep them from the path of corruption until the bitter end.


 * Black Crusaders - Initially the Rad-Eaters and what would become the Black Crusaders was far from amiable, stemming not only from a general distrust of the Rad-Eaters, but also from an almost violent incident between the leaders of their respective Vahallan Convents the Punishing Blade and Black Thorns. This changed though when the future Black Crusaders were sent to join the Rad-Eaters in their first mission since their reforms. During this time they began to see each other as truly honorable warriors and the Black Crusaders even adopted some the Rad-Eaters battle tactics. After the many turned Olympians turned traitor and the codex was established they ended up growing even closer with both refusing to bow to the codex and mutual hatred of the Hegemony Astartes who were being used to fill up the ranks of other chapters, were as both the Rad-Eaters and Black Crusaders refused to let them any where near each other.


 * Queen's Children - When the Rad-Eaters were first created, the Queen's Children absolutely disdained them, for under the rule of Argon, the Rad-Eaters were little more than crazed, blood-thirsty berserkers with little to no conscious for what they destroyed and who they hurt. That all changed when their Ahrat, Elegand'r, heard of Vice Jaw's reforms, and was one of the first to congratulate him on this. Slowly, the rivalry between the Queen's Chidren and the Rad-Eaters was healed. However, the two Chapters are still somewhat distant from each other, due to the Rad-Eaters rejecting any further attempts at reconciliation, with them believing that the quest for perfection the Queen's Children are trying to create is impossible to attain, and that the Queen's Children must first open their eyes to this simple reality.


 * Olympians Malicious - A descendent chapter of the Rad-Eaters, the Olympians Malicious are one of the most brutal and merciless Chapters of them all. Originally, they were loyalists to the Rad-Eater's first Archon Argon, until Vice-Jaw killed him and they were outcast. Though they latter reformed themselves and rejoined the Rad-Eaters, they would soon leave when they thought Vice-Jaw was going to far in his reforms. The final straw came when Vice-Jaw invited the Sonic Troopers and Mourners back into the main Rad-Eaters fold as true equals to all other troops. This upset this rather conservative group who would then leave to form the Olympians Malicious. The Rad-Eaters actually loath the Olympian Malicious, viewing them as little better than traitors who just happen to be on the same side and will refuse their help. When the two meet, the results have been known to become bloody when the Rad-Eaters attempt to prevent them from killing civilians. Even Anti, infamous for his lack of consideration for casualties, finds them unnerving. Recently, during their few encounters, the Rad-Eaters became concerned as they began to detect signs of corruption and what may or may not have been a Reviler in their ranks and thus went as far as to alert the Red Exorcists to keep an eye on them.

Traitor Warbands

 * Steelrollers - If there is any enemy the Rad-Eaters hate the most, it is this one.


 * Skulltakers - The Skulltakers and the Rad-Eaters have only clashed more than a few times, and those fights were long and bloody often, with no clear winner. The Rad-Eaters hate the Skulltakers because they remind the Rad-Eaters of what they once were, honorless berserkers who fought only with their rage and for no other cause than bloodshed, a past the Rad-Eaters are almost desperate to erase and make amends for. Their warcry says it all, "War is hell, we must end it." The Rad-Eaters have sworn to take them down to the last traitor, but their campaigns have been largely unsuccessful.

Hegemony Astartes

 * Mourful Sons - The Rad-Eaters have made no secret of their hatred for Hegemony Astartes. But the ones they hate the most are the Mournful Sons. This is because the Mournful Sons see the Rad-Eaters as nothing less than monsters that try to hide their true nature through a false pretense of being honorable, and constently lament over this, much to the contant chagrin of the Rad-Eaters. This view of them by Sons (and most if not all other Astartes) has only served to increase the hatred the Rad-Eaters hold as they have worked hard to reform themselves and live up to the ideals of the UAE as best they can, often times being driven to an almost palatable despair when the feel they have failed.


 * Scions of Rage - The Rad-Eaters have a particular hatred for the Scions of Rage nearly as much as they have a hated for the Mournful Sons. The Rad-Eaters view the Scions as a bunch of war loving bigots, and because they remind them of how they once were. The Scions believe the Rad-Eaters as simply tring to hide their true nature. Due to their specalization as seige breakers, the Ead-Eaters love nothing more than to go up against the Titans that the Scions employ to literally shoot themselves at their foes, taking extreme joy in destroying these enormous machines of war. This leads to much fierce scolding on the side of the Scions of Rage, followed by snickering laughter on the side of the Rad-Eaters, and ultimately, a mutual hatred for each other, with both groups invading each other from time to time.


 * Blood Jaguars - The Blood Jaguars are hated by the Rad-Eaters due to their ritualistic sacrifice of prisoners. While the Rad-Eaters do make sacrifices to Jura, they only do this with enemies they kill directly on the field of battle, never killing those that are already defeated. The Blood Jaguars are also rather put off by the scorn of the Rad-Eaters at the fact that enemies kill themselves rather than be captured, since Vanara are by nature so insanely tenacious that the very concept of suicide is alien to them. The Rad-Eaters see the Blood Jaguars as evidence of Hegemony hypocrisy, as they utilize the Blood Jaguars, but regard Vanara Psychokinetics as too dangerous to let live, something that makes every Vanara's blood boil - literally.

Quotes from them
"Other Olympians fight, Rad-Eaters obliterate!"

- Carnage

"None of the others trust us, none of the others like us, none of the others believe that we will amount to anything but a failed Chapter turned traitor to the forces of darkness. HA! Its the UAE who gave us life, gave us power, and Empress Besta who lets us run free across the wastes of Behemoth and hunt it's savage beasts. The forces of darkness have given us nothing and we shall never turn to them."

- Caraeveus to Indrak Baldarin

Quotes from others
"We enjoy our brothers' company. Unfortunate they have yet to accept Lord Freddie as their spiritual liege."
 * Add your own!

- Konrad of the Peacebringers.

"Be not as the beast and steed our sons, which have no understanding: who must direct with reins and whips, lest they come near unto thee."

- Aspira of the Black Thorns

"How ironic we of the UAE command once originally though the Rad-Eayers were going to turn renegade and ordered the Steelrollers to destroy them if nessecary. Back then, the Steelrollers were undoubtly one of the most loyal Creeds, and the Rad-Eaters, under Agron, were indeed constantly on the verge of going traitor. Now look how things have turned out."

- W'tze
