Hey, this is my first post and i was wanting to get some feedback on the background for the chapter i'm working on atm, sry for the massive block of writing in advance...
Original chapter - ???
Chapter Master – Titus Mordecai
Master of the Forge – Sarkth Varin
Chief Librarian – Enoch Calistarus
Chief Apothecary – Theron Armand
Head Chaplain – Cyril Kastor
Originating from the Alpha Legion, after the revelation presented by the Cabal, it was decided that a small contingent of warriors would be left behind to help rebuild the Imperium and protect the Emperor if they failed in their mission. Understanding that if they re-entered the republic bearing the heraldry and colours of the Alpha Legion they would be fired on as traitors, they opted to re-structure themselves as a similar but unique variant, hopefully allowing them to assimilate with the surviving legions. They lay dormant on the edge of Imperial space waiting for a time when it would be suitable for them to emerge from their temporary exile and renew their service to the Emperor.
A decade after the end of the heresy, a small fleet of strike cruisers were identified on the edge of Segmentum Tempestus. As these cruisers appeared to be dormant and dating from the Great Crusade, the Inquisition deemed it appropriate to send a force to investigate and either escort them back within the Imperium or eliminate them if they proved hostile. After communications were established and the inquisition learned that these were surviving loyalist space marines, each member of the ___________ was required to undergo mental screening in order to determine if any disloyalty existed within them. Each one of them proved to be utterly loyal to the Emperor and the Imperium, and they were allocated a system suitable for their recruiting needs as a new chapter of space marines.
Very fleet based, they seek to continue the Great Crusade of the original legion and the Emperor. They retain many suits of Mk 4 power armour, which are distributed not only amongst the 1st company but also the other battle companies within the chapter. Along with this armour goes a number of terminator suits, and several contemptor dreadnoughts having survived the millennia of isolation, the warriors interred within being able to offer thousands of years of experience fighting the foes of the Imperium. Despite being heavily fleet based, the chapter maintains a fortress monastery on a planet in sub-sector Aurus, near Ryza, an Adeptus Mechanicus forgeworld known for its plasma technology. This close affiliation has led to strong ties between the techmarines of the chapter and the Ryza tech-priests, and as such several unique weapons and artefacts are available to the chapter's champions and leaders, such as a sollex-aegis energy blade wielded by the Master of the Forge, Sarkth Varin.
