History
The Subjugators are one of the 20 Astartes Praeses Chapters tasked with watching the Eye of Terror and the Eastern Marches. They venerate Dorn and match the Black Templars in zeal, but their duties forbid crusades. In the 13th Black Crusade 168 Marines fell on Cadia and the 3rd Company was nearly wiped out.
Notes
They field only the Annihilator Predator variant and are called idiosyncratic. Their methods make many commanders hesitate to ask for help, since they purge both invaders and the oppressed population.
