History
The Chapter was founded from the Novamarines and trained by them in person. In M41 it helped the Brazen Fists, the Dark Hunters and four further Chapters drive the Punishers from the Phobian System, and it took part in the Achilus Crusade.
Notes
Pride and egotism sour relations with other Imperial bodies. Captain Taurinus Demos won a duel with Storm Wardens Captain Lorgath Maclir for command in the Jericho Reach, then deferred to his opponent.
