The Space Marines have turned war into a science, and killing into an art. Their relentless pursuit of war has honed their skills over the centuries, and countless battles and countless victories have forged the Space Marines into warriors of unimaginable strength. Their duty is to enforce the will of the Emperor, and to crush his foes without mercy. The Space Marines are truly one of the deadliest races on Dawn of War in the hands of a capable player.
The Space Marine campaign centers around Brother-Captain Indrick Boreale, and his quest to lead five Blood Raven companies to victory. The Imperium has ordered Boreale into a new theatre of combat, the Kaurava system. This system has often been plagued by war in the past, and will once again be visited by conflict. Although many forces fight over this world for their own reasons; the Space Marines imperative is quite clear; they are to stamp out heresy, corruption, and all enemies of the Imperium. Boreale’s duty is to make sure that the Space Marines crush all who defy the Emperor. This mission is his purpose in life, and his greatest honor.
To aid Captain Boreale in his quest, the Imperium is prepared to grant him some of the finest relics that have ever been recovered. The player can earn these relics while conquering the planet of Kaurava.
One such relic, the venerated Rogal’s Fist, is a deadly tool of destruction when in the right hands; and Captain Boreale’s hands could not be any more adept. The Imperium is also prepared to grant an Iron Halo to protect Captain Boreale on the battlefield. The halo emits a sacred energy field that disrupts enemy fire, and is revered as a relic from the Blood Raven’s Unknown Primarch. Captain Boreale is a fierce opponent under any circumstance, but is truly unstoppable when equipped with items of this caliber.
All those that dare attack the Blood Ravens stronghold will do so to their own downfall. Founded in the most inhospitable pit of Kaurava, the perfect place for a Space Marine colony, the fortress appears to be like any other. What enemies of the Imperium do not know, what they cannot know, is that more than the ever watching gaze of the Emperor falls upon this stronghold. Holding constant vigilance over Kaurava is a Battle Barge holding the remnants of the Blood Ravens’ finest warriors. There two hundred warriors wait, ready to descend into hell at a moment’s notice. If any force were foolish enough to march into war against the Brother-Captain, it would surely meet defeat under the crushing blow of this indomitable hammer of the Imperium.
