# Signs of Chaos in the Scarus Sector

The primary Chaos faction in the Scarus Sector are Thousand Sons. They operate from a hidden base, or perhaps even a mobile space station, so they can appear anywhere in the sector. Typical raids are focused on collecting sacrifices, artifacts, or acolytes to feed their fleets.

## Cruisers

### Word of Change

The _Word of Change_ is an ancient vehicle predating the Heresy by a good quarter of a millenium. As a _Devastation Class Cruiser,_ it carries a contingent of fighters, bombers, and assault boats manned by implacable Dust Marines.

### Deathskull

The _Deathskull_ was originally named _Templum Cogitationis_, this _Slaughter Class_ Cruiser was rechristened _Deathskull_ after the binding. The primary bridge was sealed, and it's thought that the original deck crew still excutes the commands of the current captain.

### Exterminator Squadron

The _Exterminator Squadron_ is crewed by acolytes who seek advancement in the cult. These _Infidel Class_ Escorts are old, and have managed to continue to serve through a combination of repairs and dark sorcery. Parts of the ships shimmer to the eye, and it's thought that those are sorcerous repairs that are still holding.
