Forgive my absence as I have had to present myself to the Glorious God Emperor of Mankind, who is now able to communicate with us once more.
The device he uses is a mixture of several machines, all of which are far beyond my level of comprehension, but it was he who ordered my release from the interrogation chambers of the Inquisition.
I have read what the two that came after me and I am pleased with their performance so we will be doing this in shifts.
I know I shouldn't record my excitement but The God-Emperor is communicating with Humanity once more.
...The Penal world of redemption, which is one of the many names the world is known by is a peculiar thing.
Over the years it has truly gone through an incredible amount of change, every penal colony that has been created to recreate Unit is treated in similar ways to it, however, admittedly they aren't anywhere as respected.
When it was discovered that both Arturia and Isha had laid the souls of the dead to rest, the various powers of the Imperium tried to keep the information contained, however something as miraculous as one's soul being able to rest is going to get out.
Word spread in a variety of ways, from visions spread by telepathic transmissions, video recordings, guardsmen informing those they recognized about it, the penal soldiers, and even some members of space marine chapters.
The last of which is the one I will be focusing at the moment.
There is no easy way of saying this so I'll say it bluntly.
More than one fleet arrived and asked\demanded to see either Arturia or Isha.
To this day, space marines that have been deemed Renegades but not traitors go to these colonies to either be forgiven or be allowed to rest when they finally die.
I is here where the present affects the past.
Our glorious God-Emperor has stated that whatever rules unit has emplaced on these chapters or single marines to be considered legal.
Therefore every space marine that has fallen will be marked as a loyalist and any chapter that has been destroyed under these rules to be treated as fallen chapters worthy of being honored.
It's no wonder these penal worlds are highly sought after, by those of higher status.
The rules for these chapters are simple yet extremely harsh, as one of the main rules is.
No chapter no matter how small will be able to recruit and is to participate in every mission available, as long as their armor- weaponry, and bodies are still fully functional.
Considering that these chapters are always sent on missions that would be considered certain death, one will easily realize why this first rule could be considered by those marines as exceedingly cruel.
If one remembers that at times, there is but a single surviving member of a chapter, that first rule would be an absolute death sentence.
However one must remember, that it is simply because that one marine fell seeking atonement, that an entire chapter is allowed to rest and is honored by all within the Imperium.
The second rule is considered especially humiliating, as many space marines believe themselves to be, superior to the everyday human.
The rule is once again simple when not in war or training, no form of armor or weapon besides the most basic will be permitted on the marine.
The last and by far the cruelest, by space marine standard is, all human and space marines will work side by side- eat together and live together.
This last rule is by far the most humiliating, as it can be said, that the Adeptus Astartes, have lost their positions of the Emperors chosen and are now seen as nothing more than regular people by the Emperor himself.
Still, nearly none of those seeking redemption have disobeyed these rules and follow them to the letter.
According to the General\sargent, the reason why the chapters were allowed to keep their traditions and were even allowed to finish whatever initiations they had, was to see if they were doing the things they were accused of.
As mentioned earlier, I was brought before our glorious overlord and it was he who pointed out something interesting, as I along one of his Custodian Guards informed him of Unit and its many achievements.
The sheer number of ships present when the Penal Chapters are deployed highly exceeds the number of ships present anywhere near the penal worlds.
Yet he also pointed out, that every Human under the space marines control acted the same as if the rules on the penal worlds were being followed on those ships.
One wonders if these Penal worlds should keep the name designated to them or should their names be changed the worlds of redemption.
Regardless when these Penal Chapters\legions are deployed their numbers are so great that whatever enemy they face is crushed under the sheer might of numbers being brought down upon them.
The Tau are an example of this.
The tau empire has taken full advantage of the opening of the great rift and have begun to expand deeper into the Imperiums territory and because no one could or wanted to deal with them at the moment the Penal legions\chapters were deployed.
One has to remember that, the Tau faced off against the penal legionary soldiers, the ordinary humans that are incarcerated, and perhaps will earn their freedom or redemption, Unit, and the space marines.
I wish I could say that the Tau put up a great defense, or that the Penal legions struggled to take back the Imperiums wolds, but if I were to do that I would be lying.
The Tau, deployed everything from advanced weaponry to other aliens and heretical machines, but they were nothing in comparison to the force brought down upon them.
In every world and in the void of space the tau were crushed, their allies worlds were either broken under Imperial fire or taken and their inhabitants are now the servants of humanity.
The only reason the war didn't spread past the point where the Tau were left broken and utterly in fear of being destroyed.
Was simply because our glorious god-emperor was able to communicate with us once more, the moment he spoke, every man woman and child felt it, it didn't matter if the person in question was the purest of nobles, an Astartes an Ab-Human or even the foul mutant.
We all heard and felt his voice.
As of this moment, the God-Emperor of Mankind is gathering, four things.
I will now say list the things I was told to writedown and make sure to put them in this record.
First of all, his missing sons, three of which have already been found. Robute Guilliman-lord Adorable, also known as Rogal Dorn and Feras Manus [who Guy resurrected on the planet of Cavernous, during a war that pressed everyone from the Empire-the U.N.S.C, and the various United Federation of planets]
[Sanguinious who is on the penal world at the moment]
The second, Several Eldar.
The third. Unite the team created on the redemption penal world.
Finally, two of his traitor sons, one of which has been captured and brought before the Emperor.
Magnus the Red and Fulgrim.
It should be noted that Guy attempted to flee when hearing that someone of a significant position wanted to see him and as such one of the sisters of silence had to capture him.
His reasoning is, and I quote.
"Every single time, someone that is either an Inquisitor, a Governor or Admiral of some kind needs us.
I end up in such a way"
the rest don't need to be said, but one has to note the man was right about what he said, regardless almost all of the things on this list are either on Terra or heading there as we speak.
