Ok after much deliberation I have decided to make a new Chapter which will be a second founding of the Salamanders.

The Fire Drakes


The fire drakes started as a company of the 1st Divison of the Salamanders army. They went to assist the forgefather Vulkan He'Stan in him quest to recover the artifacts of the primearch Vulkan on the planet ? (needs to be volcanic and somplace zenos would have been). Upon their arrival the Salamanders had cleared the way into the ruins of a ancient temple in which He'Stan belived the artifact "The Unbridled Flame" resided. Upon opening the holding chambers it was found that the weapon was gone and had fallen into someone elses hands. The forgefather was furious and sent out scouts to scan for alien presence. They found a large concentration of orks on the planet. The forgefather ordered the Fire Drakes to attack them and leave none alive and if they find the weapon report to him.

After a heroic and epic battle lasting 100 days the soldiers of the imperium where on the verge of victory when they found themselves on the wrong end of the artifact the unbridled flame a huge flamer designed to be carried two handed with huge support tanks that looked like no one man could carry it all. The orks had strapped it to a big mek and the suits of the marines protected them from much of the blast of the heat but scorched thier armor causing the coatings to peel off later. The marines commander Pyricus Marcutius took command after his commander was killed by the mek. He ordered his men to destory the mek at all costs and cost it did only a handful fo maries survived from his company at the end of the day the marines claimed victory and destoryed the orks to the last zeno.

After the battle his men on the verge of exhaustion and so few remaining men they began the journey back to nocture thru the warp when they where forced to make avasive manuvers to avoid the dangers in the warp and ended up on the far side of the gallexy shipwrecked on a small moon in the middle of nowhere. They used the parts from the shipwreck to establish a small base of operations to await extraction. After the calls went out for help they took to looking about the moon they had landed on only to find they where dangerously near a small chaos outpost. Pyricus face turned to rage at the sight of chaos. He ordered his men to gather everything they could use to fight and they single handedly took down the outpost with no support and without losing a single man in the fight. They recovered equipment that chaos had stolen from a marine base that is used to inplant the geneseed in marines there also.

Once they where extracted by the Ultramarines in the area they where taken before the (I don't know who they would be taken too) in order to be decorated as heros of the imperium for their bravery in both recovering the artifact and in destorying the chaos outpost. At that time Pyricus made a strange request of (?) that he wanted these marines to be part of a new chapter. I don't know why he did this or how it could happen but he was allowed to keep the artifact and start the new chapter.

This is kinda where i need help guys.

It's not really how Foundings work, but if you changed a few things about the story you can hammer it into existing mythos.

If for example there was already a new founding taking place from the Salamanders gene seed then the fluff isn't really clear as to how a new chapter gets its senior officers. This company might be charged with protecting this artifact (which a flammer is not really a great choice of) and bringing it to bear on the enemies of mankind. To accomplish this a new chapter is formed with the men from this Salamanders company as its core. For all intents and purposes a Chapter is a Division.

They also need their own homeworld or they can be fleet based, but I don't think that Salamanders would like the disconnection from the populace that a fleet based chapter conveys. Either way they need someplace to pull an additional 900 Space Marines from. It would probably be a feral world, just make up a name.

They should also have:

- A Battle Cry. "Fa Da Emprah'!" or something.
- Specialization? (Optional but adds flavor)
- On Going Mission. What are they doing? Where are they? Antaganists?
