Terminators are the Chapter's ultimate warriors. Among the thousand warriors that compose a Space Marine Chapter, only the hundred most courageous and gifted brothers are deemed worthy enough of this honor. The player is assigned to the Terminator company. The player is one such Space Marine, belonging to one of the oldest and most honorable Chapters known as the Blood Angels, whose battle honors date back as long as the Imperium has existed. The defenders of the Imperium are the Adeptus Astartes, or Space Marines, bio-genetically engineered warriors of superhuman prowess, ever vigilant to destroy the many threats that face humanity across the cosmos. Under the auspices of the Emperor, a psychic so powerful he is essentially immortal, a pan-galactic Imperium has been established in which humanity has spread and prospered. In the game, humanity has been expanding for 20,000 years throughout the galaxy, aided by a phenomenal invention known as the Warp Drive, which allows substantial spatial distances to be traversed in hours. The game is set in the fictional universe of Warhammer 40,000, in the 41st millennium. Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels is part of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Like its predecessor, Vengeance of the Blood Angels combines first-person shooter gameplay with real-time tactical elements. It is based on Games Workshop's board game Space Hulk and is the sequel to the 1993 video game Space Hulk.
Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels is a video game published by Electronic Arts in 1995 for the 3DO, which was later ported to PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and Microsoft Windows.
