The are a subfaction of the Rin, occupying one of the Core Worlds, and having plenty of colonies outside it. They are a subspecies, but are able to breed with other Rin. They are one of the most powerful organizations within the Rin Empire, being extremely useful but somewhat of a loose cannon. Their capital is the Sepulchre, an incredibly large palace complex in a gothic style, with a reputation for being dark and haunted. The Sepulchre is their ancient holdfast, and although it looks ancient it is in reality heavily defensible and one of the strongest Rin holds in the galaxy. They ruled as Red Emperors during the early days of the Rin, and the two empires were often at odds. After seven devastating wars, Lord Crucentifer Davorin Crimson-Cloak "the Emperor who Knelt" finally surrendered to the Rin. The Rin highly respected them however, as they were some of the best fighters in the galaxy, and allowed Davorin to rule his people, as long as he acknowledged worship of the Emperor and the overlordship of the Emperor. They have ruled as Lords Crucentifer for millennia now, since even before the era of space flight, in unbroken linage. They have a culture similar to but distinct to the Rin, and their religion is a form of ancestor-worship (although it is rumored that they still practice blood-sacrifices to their ancestors) They are renowned for their cruelty and for being as harsh and cold as the planet they inhabit. Their race has spread out from their original planet, and their rule extends over around 1/5 of Rin space. They do command much of the army, and the current Lord Crucentifer Sabian is the the supreme admiral of the Rin.
