Blazing Claws

History of the Chapter
The Blazing Claws, a Space Marine Chapter of few actions and many triumphs.

Created in the Cursed Second Founding, their first mission and only failure was the Battle of Desolate Plains

In trying to win over their given homeworld against the horror of the Tyranind hive fleet, Oranos, Every marine in the chapter except 172 marines, was wiped out.

The sacred white soil of Ancheron Prime turned dark orange from all the blood spilt. The remaining 91 Terminators, 80 Marines and one Dreadnought fought off the remainder of the fleet. It is not known how such a phenomenon occured, But the Marines of the Chapter say that the battle was fought with fire in their hearts and courage beyond the scope of fearlessness.

In honor of the bravery and sheer determination of the marines, the entire chapter painted their white armour orange, and their insignia changed from a clenched steel fist to an open one, surrounded by flames; the flames symbolising the fire in the hearts of the remaining marines.

Today the chapter has been restored to their former glory, but the failure of that unholy day still scars the of the chapter, and to this day, even though they have preformed feats way beyond the expectation of any normal chapter, still wait for a chance of redemption.
