Crimson Lords

"Orginally I wonder why our former master sent us to the outer reaches of the Imperium. Until I realize there are more enemies outside. Many kinds of aliens scum to purge... more the mutants to strike down... and the heretics who simply won't kneel to the God-Emperor... as such we carry our forefather's name in our hearts. When we march forward it is as the Templars of the Black instead to Vanguard the God-Emperor from the taint of Chaos itself even from afar."

- Grand Master Kyrim Helios of the Templars of the Black

The Templars of the Black, Formerly known by the title of the "Black Templars Expositionary Fleet" during the start during the early days of the formation. It is a fleet-based crusading Successor Chapter made from the growing ranks of the Expositionary fleet of the Black Templars being bolstered to the point of becoming a new chapter in of themselves.

Tasked by both High Marshal Helbrecht and the Inquisition to explore the outer galaxy outside the Imperium during the Third War for Armageddon in 998.M41 to seek out potential threats outside of the Imperium as well as seek out as scout the Tau Empire's true strength, while also looking for the potential of humans to rejoin the Imperium.

Later on being after being used to locate planets which could be used to supply either resources or personnel outside of the known universe. The fleet later gains a high amount of troops from the worlds as a result of the numbers being too high to not turn the inquisition's wrath, they later taken up a new name "Templars of the Black" and started painting the tops of their helmets with a color strip for rank as well as donning more of a gold color along their armor instead of the normal black and white of their forefathers.
