Editing Star Krakens (legacy) (section)

====Roster====
=====First Company - Strike Cruiser ''Novgorod''=====

The first company, or ''Danegeld'' of the Star Krakens is captained by Canute Mokoyll, a veteran of countless  boarding actions. Mokoyll and his terminators are feared across the deep for their brutal boarding actions. Fitted with brutal close range assault weaponry, ranging from mighty thunderhammers to ferocious lightning claws, the veterans are a force to be contended with, especially in the cramped corridors of a ship or station. A common tactic of Mokoyll's is to "flood the ship" when boarding. Distracting command points and drawing aggression elsewhere, strike teams of his marines gain control over the ship's systems and vent the atmosphere of the ship into space, often catching the ship's crew off guard and butchering them as they scramble for rebreathers and environment masks. This also has the added benefit of isolating resistance, as well as keeping the majority of the ship and it's cargoes intact for later examination.

"Let them breath the void, brothers. For Mobius, the First, and the Chapter!" - Captain Mokoyll

=====Second Company - Strike Cruisers ''Balmung'' and ''Gram''=====

The Second Company are the Spears of the Void, a reference to their blinding assaults into the midst of their foes. Of the eleven Star Kraken companies, they are perhaps the most enigmatic, shunning the company of fellow Krakens unless absolutely necessary. The company is loathe to part with one its craft, seething with fury when they are forced lend even a single thunderhawk to another company, despite possesing more than any other two companies combined, and small fleet of gunboats. They patrol the Deep led by the mighty ship ''Balmung'', which is supported by ''Gram'', a lesser vessel. The whole company is lead by Captain Olaus the Mangled, a twisted and cynical man who deeply mistrusts his fellow Astartes.

=====Third Company - Strike Cruiser ''Dread Lantern''=====

Company sigil is the Fouled Kraken. Formerly known as the ''Lantern Bearer'' this vessel was renamed when its new Captain took command, a bold action flying in the face of Chapter tradition - something Brother-Captain Yngvarr Gangari is known for. He was aptly named, for out of all the Star Krakens and certainly amongst his fellow Captains he is the most widely travelled. He remains one of the few Krakens to have served with the Deathwatch, and specializes in the destruction of the Enemy Without. Despite the controversy surrounding his tenure as Captain of the Third Company, none can deny his pitiless hatred of the xeno or his devotion to the Chapter and his crew. Some members of the Third Company have even taken to calling themselves "Ynglings". Whether exploring the depths of a derelict ship for ancient wargear or plunging via drop pod into the heart of an Orkish horde to decapitate its warboss, Yngvarr the Wanderer can be found in the lead, Power Sabre in one hand, Storm Shield in the other.

=====Fourth Company - Strike Cruiser ''The Trident''=====

Jointly commanded by Brother-Captain's Kester, Olavi and Young Nyran - the Blade, the Barrage, and the Kraken respectively - the Fourth Company are a highly disciplined Chapter, envied amongst some of their peers for the striking balance they've achieved between disciplined military unit, and a family-like clan. 


=====Fifth Company - Strike Cruiser ''Herlov''=====

Previously Captained by Brother Isaias, whose death marked the last living link between the Ten Flags Council and the ancient Chapter Master Achab. Currently commanded by the young Librarian Alus, nominated to the role unanimously by his battle brothers and in accordance with Isaias dying wish. Their vessel contains a piece of Wraithbone, a trophy from a most difficult battle


=====Sixth Company - Strike Cruiser ''Martela''=====

Brother-Captain Harvumy Bridmar. A man who plays brilliance off as luck helms this strike cruiser. They are a rather humor filled bunch, as there Brother Captain said "Best way to face a deadly foe is to laugh right at it!"

=====Seventh Company - Strike Cruiser ''Beinum''=====

Thorolf Frin commands the Seventh Company, which is more of a band of marauders than a company. Described even by their brethren as a vicious crew, the marines of the Seventh employ four assault units instead of two, and are rarely seen in port. The encouragement by Thorolf has allowed the seventh company to become a disorganized rabble where other companies send their "difficult" initiates, making up for the Sevenths inability to recruit its own new marines.

=====Eighth Company - Strike Cruiser ''Sigurd''=====

Brother-Captain Tyr is the nominal leader of the Eighth Company , the smallest of the companies. Their last captain, brother Yoms, lead the company into a brutal ambush by eldar raiders, devastating the company. Now it is only thirty marines strong, and must rely on hit and run tactics to be of any use to the chapter. A single trap could very well spell doom for these brothers. Not that the rest of the chapter cares, for none of them will lend aid. The Second is especially cruel, with Librarian Alus informing the company that the second covets their ship, and that they will claim the Sigurd should the Eighth ever be destroyed


=====Ninth Company - Strike Cruiser ''Rurik''=====

The great marine Thorkell the Tall commands the Ninth Company.


=====Tenth Company - Strike Cruiser ''Otrulegur''=====

Edvard commands the Tenth Company. He and his brothers currently guard the invaluable resources of Mobius whilst they await the reconstruction of their vessel, damaged after serious conflict with 

=====Varangian Guard - Strike Cruiser ''Holdfast''=====

For as long as the Holdfast has served in this capacity, it has been under the command of Captain Yngvar. Known colloquially as 'The Eleventh Company' the Guard's complement of soldiers are, in fact, an ever-shifting sea of all the Kraken's tactical inclinations, he and his command staff remain permanent fixtures aboard the vessel, a self-enforced exile that some say dates back to a disagreement between the Captain and his brothers during the Fall of Achab. Many brothers in the Guard have chosen to join out of disatisfaction over their unsung victories in the Deep. Only when direct threats to major worlds are destroyed is any praise garnered, forcing the glory-hunters to leave the deep to find recognition. And they have certainly found it, for the Varangians are known outside of the Deep as supreme ship-to-ship combatants, and have helped to secure many star systems spinward of Ultramar
