-HISTORY-

The Varex Sector of the Segmentum Tempestus was a relatively isolated and quiet region. It was host to a collection of Hive Worlds and to Varex Prime, a very large Armoury World at the heart of the Sector. Conflict very rarely found its way into the sector and this perhaps led to it being under protected. This proved to be a fatal mistake when a xenos empire, calling themselves the D'juurac, attacked without warning or mercy.
Worlds burned under the might of the xenos invasions. Very little is known about the D'juurac. All that is known about this bird-like, reptilian species is that their minds are very attuned to the warp, though there is no evidence that suggests they worship the forces of Chaos. It is speculated by some that the xenos wage war to feed off the warp energies
released amidst the destruction and death of worlds they invade.

Many forces from the Imperial Navy were sent to confront the xenos but the D'juurac's power was gravely underestimated. Defeat after defeat and loss after loss, worlds and millions continued to perish against the D'juurac. Only after six years of war were the Imperial Fleets able to push back the invaders. Having crippled the D'juurac, they retreated into the warp. Though eager to pursue them, there were very turbulent warp storms in the region that prevented their advance. How the D'juurac were able to navigate with such percision and efficiency, it was not known.

The Imperium was currently in the process of a new Founding and the High Lords of Terra issued the command to send one of the newly created Chapters to defend this unprotected Sector. They feared the safety of Varex Prime, a very crucial Armoury World, along with other important worlds under the sovereignty of the Imperium. It was decided that the recruits from the feral world of Hveldruk (which was from the Varex Sector itself) would become the Chapter to have fief over the Sector and protect it. During the process of creating the new Space Marine Chapters, the D'juurac continued their assaults. They would emerge from the warp, attack with deadly ferocity, and then vanish back into the empyrean. Imperial Fleets had great difficulty navigating through the Sector due to increased warp activity.

At the zenith of the new Founding, the Immortal Sons Chapter was born. The Chapter was charged with the task of safeguarding the Varex Sector that had been left without ample protection. Their Fortress Monastery was created on the Moon of their homeworld. The Chapter was well supplied having been stationed so close to the Armoury of Varex Prime. This advantage had integrated into the Chapter itself and the Immortal Sons made great use of their vast array of tanks and heavy support. After many years, the warp storms began to receed and the Immortal Sons were able to launch a succesful campaign against the D'juurac. Unable to completly destroy their advesary, the Immortal Sons severely crippled the xenos empire. The D'juurac fled once again into the warp and now they emerge at their whim to make war with mankind and feed off his psychic screams of pain and agony. The D'juurac are a very dangerous threat due to their ability to navigate through the warp with such pinpoint percision even through the most vehement of storms. But the Immortal Sons stand ready to defend the Varex Sector from any foe that might be foolish enough to stand against their might. Since their arrival, not a single world in the
region has been lost.

-CHAPTER ORGANISATION-

The Immortal Sons follow the teachings of the Codex Astartes, though they make more frequent use of Heavy Support.

-COMBAT DOCTRINE-

Having their Fortress Monastery so close to an Armoury World has been to their advantage. The High Lords of Terra have given the Chapter permission to arm themselves with a wide plethora of weaponry (though not enough that if they were to become traitors that they would pose a colossal threat)

The Chapter also excells at defending and holding perimeters. Once they are given an annex to hold, it is nearly impossible for them to lose their objective. They operate in squads just like other Chapters would but the individual squads make great use of diversion tactics. They do not fight very close together and often time it might seem that there are marines running about by themselves. This is not the case at all. It can be almsot guaranteed that where one marine is, another is in a concealed position moving in to flank the opponent. The Immortal Sons never attack from one direction and each marine provides cover for his brother. They attack and move with great coordination. While one marine is reloading, another provides cover fire. While one marine is shooting at an enemy, another is preparing to flank the enemy being pinned down. This method of fighting (in combination with their fequent use of heavy support) proves to be an invaluable asset especially while being outnumbered.

-CHAPTER BELIEFS-

The Immortal Sons take great pride in protecting the worlds and peoples of mankind but they do not let that pride control them. They look down upon self-glorification and encourage self-sacrifice. Aside from their colors and badge, they do not decorate their armor or embelish themselves. They fight to give all honor to the Imperium, not themselves. They have strong relationships with the planetary governors of the many worlds they protect.

-CHAPTER SECRET-

The Chapter's duty is to protect the Imperium. They know that failure is not an option. When a battle brother of the Chapter falls in combat, he is taken to their Fortress Monastery and brought to the inner-most chamber, The Chapter's Mausoleum. They bury their dead in secret, covering their bodies witht the banner of the Imperium to find rest and lighting fires that burn their names engraved on their tomb forever. When they recruit from their frozen homeworld of Hveldruk, the new recruit forfeits his name and assumes the one of his predecessor. They even scar their features to match the ones before them. This creates the illusion that that Chapter trully is Immortal. This practice is not a complete secret to all but it is to most. The original Chapter Master decreed this tradition to be done so that when a new recruit joins their ranks, they fight not to glorify their own self. It is believed that the original members even changed their names to words from the language of their homeworld that translated to words of strength and valor.

-NOTABLE CAMPAIGNS-

The Chapter's most famous campaign was in 667.M39. A massive Ork invasion was heading for Varex Prime. The companies of the Immortal Sons were currently spread out in all directions dealing with rebellions and the D'juurac. Only a very small number of Immortal Sons were able to make way for the planet and they knew that they alone were not enough. They signaled for aid and ships from the Imperial Navy were quick to respond. They also made contact with a company of Salamanders who had just succesfuly hunted down a rogue Imperial fleet. The Salamanders made haste to aid the world of Varex Prime.
The Immortal Sons fought for two days, splitting their numbers apart to defend crucial points of the Armoury. The arrival of the Salamanders was an invaluable asset and turned the tides of the battle. More forces of Immortal Sons arrived the following day to fight the seemingly endless horde of Orks. After five days of continuous fighting, the Astartes were finally able to push back the assault. With the combined forces of Immortal Sons, Salamanders, Imperial Ships, and the Guardsmen and planetary defences stationed there, victory was won. The snowy lands of Varex Prime was stained red from the bloodshed.
The two Chapters formed a close bond during the fighting and the Salamanders' Captain even admired how well-coordinated the Sons fought. The Salamanders joked that it was ironic to bring them, a chapter so associated with fire, to a world covered in ice and snow and so the battle was known by many as, the Battle of Fire and Ice

**Androxine Vortex**

I tried doing a Google search of my Chapter but the results didn't show. I want my chapter to show easily online so that someone else doesn't take my Chapter's name (because I had to rename mine like six times because they were already taken)
Anyway to make it generate it in results?
