Editing Marines Malevolent (section)

==42nd Millenium==
They're still active in the 42nd Millennium (unfortunately). A Marines Malevolent relief force arrived to rescue some Custodians defending Primaris Marine Gene-tech on Loque II, just in time to rescue the last surviving Custodian and the gene-tech. Knowing the Marines Malevolent, they probably not only tried to take the gene-tech but they probably [[Galactic Partridges|took the credit too]].

The Malevolent were last seen on the world of Etariis, leading the desperate retreat of several Space Marine Chapters but having managed to succesfully blow a certain [[Khârn]]'s ship to pieces, [[Not as planned|only for The Betrayer to board one of theirs and steal it in return]].

During the early years of the Indomitus crusade, the chapter found new use as enforcers for the establishment of new resupply fortresses for the crusade ; actions that were often extremely unpopular with the existing population on said worlds. They were notably employed as guerilla warfare terror troops on the knight world of Kamidar when it's queen rebelled against the Imperium. Whilst they were highly effective at this (up to and including killing civillian refugees that were in their way, esp. children), they continued to indulge in their teamkilling assholery when they attempted to set fire to a prison block containing the captured Imperial diplomatic delegation. The captain leading said action was promptly gutted by an attending and disgusted Storm Reaper Primaris, while the rest of their force was summarily executed by equally disgusted Sisters of Battle. The book makes it clear that their loss was missed by absolutely nobody.
