User blog comment:Khalael/Space Marine Chapter Foundings/@comment-3562230-20120503212039

My favorite chapter, the Knights of Terra, (do look them up) come from an unkown founded sometime after the Age of Apostasy. I just thought it made them sound cooler. But really, the founding of a Space Marine chapter is a MASSIVE undertaking. I find it hard to believe the no one in the Imperium could have any idea when one of these chapters was formed. According to the fluff it takes about 50 yrs to grow enough gene altered organs to start a chapter, right? How could they ever not know what year they were founded?
