The Spacepiress of Chaos
"Remember the fire. You must pass
Through it alone to be forged anew.
Look! Look upon the Light so you
May lead others here through the darkness,
Blade of the Faith!"

A flash among the void, the backdrop of darkness glittering with the shimmering light of countless stars dancing. The vessel quietly slipped through the void of space, not a sound emanating from the construct of durasteel as it slowly moved towards the world before it, a gem gleaming in the darkness. Yellow hues fell upon the world, the woman stepping forward upon the darkened bridge, only the ambient light of the consoles illuminating the figures that moved back and forth. A soft smirk slipping across her lip to reveal the pointed canine for a moment. Arms crossed over her breast, the soft rising and falling causing the metal of her armor to make a soft grinding noise that almost sound like music to some. Her eyes remained upon the world as the vessel slowly slipped through space, though behind it came another flash, followed by another. The vessels pulling in formation along with her own and only her voice broke the silence that had fallen upon the bridge.
"Blessed are the righteous, the lights in the shadow. In their blood the Maker's will is written."
Her voice was soft, yet the words carried upon the air as it circulated through the bridge, the words dancing softly. The holy words of an ancient codex written and passed down, the codex that was to guide the Order. Closing her eyes for a moment she took a deep breath before permitting it to slip across her lips, her arms shifting as they slipped behind her. Clasping her hands together behind her back, she stepped forward before her eyes shot open.
"Prepare to land. I want all the information we can gather on this world, what little there may be. The Order has come to stay."
"Yes Ma'am."
The voices sounded in unison before the bridge became a flurry of activity, crew members and officers alike moving back and forth. Scanners sounding off as they rushed over the world, all the while the woman smirked to herself before slowly spinning around, pivoting upon her back foot and moving towards the doors. Her heavy foot falls thudding upon the metal decking as she nodded her head towards an officer.
"Inform our other vessels, all corvettes are to land on the world."
"Yes Ma'am."
Stepping forward as the door hissed open, she was greeted by a formation of Knights of the Order. The squad saluting as she moved forward, seeming to glide upon the wind as they closed ranks behind her. The unison of their marching foot falls sounding thunderous as they moved towards the hanger bay, preparing to be the first squad off of the vessel once it landed upon the world below.
