Background - Part 1

Background for my Space Marine Chapter.

The Angels of Perdition Chapter is one that is clouded in myth and rememberance, but most lost to the myriad paths of time. Facts have become memory that became myth and secrets that work as the foundation of everything they know.

Imperial Records reflect that the Angels of Perdition Record is part of the Founding after the Reign of Blood in M36. Further, they reflect that the geneseed of the Angels of Perdition is unknown but thought to be Guilliman or Rogal Dorn. They reflect that the Angels Chapter is a codex chapter that has a exemplorary record of faithfullness to the Imperium. They reflect that upon creation the chapter launched into a two and a half thousand year crusade that took them from Segmentium Pacificus to Segmentium Ultima, a path that lead them to travel with Black Templars and fight beside the Fire Nova Chapter and the Space Wolves. During that crusade they obliterated Waaagh Gutsmasha by careful destruction of the fuel, ensuring that the entire fleet of ork ships exploded as they attempted to enter warp space. The cultists of Karak Four found their entire plan fruitless after fighting for a single year to take the Vaults of Vartan, only to find that the had been emtied before the war ever began. In each situation that the Angels have fought, their ferocity has only been exceeded by the absolute synergy of strategy. The Chapter has a hallmark for obfuscation, and random deployment for tactical edge that often will be leaps ahead of the enemy. On Fusil III the Angels and the Eldar of Biel-tan fought a fencing match for two years, never coming to a head, before both parties quit the planet. The results of the contest are still argued among those who watch the Angels. Over two thousand years ago their their Crusade has come to an end when they came to Ultramar, the home of the Ultramarines just as the Ultramarines were over extended on all fronts. When a request for aid came from the Wing Stars, the entire Chapter in their Battleship Nova Terra Exeat deployed, saving several sectors and finding their new homeworld, Angels Secundus. Since that time they have built the defenses and guarded against the Dark Star Nova area, while keeping both Tau and Tyranid forces at bay.

These are the things that exist in the Imperial record. But for each thing that is true, one is a lie that is covered by secrets. For such is the way of the children of the Lion...
