Editing Void Wardens (section)

==Summary==

===Aspirant Trials===
The Void Wardens’ methods for initiation start with the acquisition of suitable candidates. Usually a group of 10-30 aspirants are selected at one time. The aspirants are then taken aboard the Void Warden's flagship and placed within an arena. The aspirants are allowed to select between  a small selection of weapons, mostly long knives  or short swords. The Aspirants are then  set against wave after wave captured beasts, prisoners taken from other ships within their fleet or captured in war, and sometimes even xenos species including [[Tau]], [[Kroot]], or even the occasional [[Eldar]]. The trial usually lasts until there are 1-3 combatants left standing, though if the chapter is in need of new recruits the numbers might fluctuate. The survivors of this trial are taken to begin their journey as space marines.

It is at this point that the newly altered aspirants of the Void Wardens of undergo screening for any psychic potential. Any of the aspirants found to have psychic potential are sequestered from their brothers and trained to withstand and channel the warp. Alongside their normal training regiment they are also trained in mental and spiritual techniques to strengthen their mind and resolve against the corrupting influence of the [[Chaos|ruinous powers]]. Somehow.

The final trial of an initiate before the inclusion of the black carapace involves a trial by combat. The initiates, whom had previously been serving in scout squads, are given [[Chainsword|chainswords]] and bolt pistols and ushered into combat. The initiates' goal is to collect the most impressive trophy by besting their foe in close quarters combat. If the initiate survives a few battles or slays an especially noteworthy opponent then they are finally given the black carapace and inducted into the chapter as a battle brother.

===Fleet===
The Void Wardens are a fleet based chapter. Their flagship is the Silvanet, a Gloriana Class Battleship. The Silvanet was gifted to the chapter by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] for the void warden's recovery of a large cache of archeotech. The Silvanet is the flagship of the Void Wardens and where the chapter keeps their stores of trophies, technology, and relics from past glories. The massive ship serves as a reminder to the chapter of the rewards that duty and sacrifice can reap.  The ancient Gloriana Class Battleship can easily hold the entire chapter because of its massive size, however when the chapter needs to split its forces it employs a number of Vanguard Strike Cruisers to deploy in multiple areas. The Vanguard Strike Cruisers allow the Void Wardens to stay afield much longer than their brothers using the standard Strike Cruisers. The Void Wardens also employ a number of Gladius Frigates as escorts. The total amount of ships within the fleet of the Void Wardens are as follows:
