Steel Wardens

"Steel ''and fire!" -''Steel Warden's battlecry.

Created in M41. 950 The Steel wardens have had the dubious honour of being wiped from the list of active space marine chapters and then surviving to return to active service. The chapter differs from others in that they doesn't fight for just the Imperium, but the people themselves, often throwing themselves into hopeless battles or even sacrificing their lives to protect the Imperium's numberless citizens. Rumours of deviant geneseed and tolerance for mutants, xenos, and traitors attracts the Inquisition's suspicion, but without evidence the Inquisition witholds judgement...for now.

History
The Steel Wardens were not created as part of a founding, but rather as a sacrificial army by the Inquisition to annex the 100 worlds of the Thanatian System Cluster, outside of current Imperial boundaries. The Inquisition planned for the new chapter to die fighting to claim the system, softening up any opposition to a follow up reclamation army that would take the system for the Emperor. Due to the fact that the Chapter was supposed to die to a man fulfilling their duties, the aspirants chosen to become the Battle-Brothers in the Chapter where not implanted with geneseed, instead a cocktail of chemicals where pumped into them during the process of their transformation into Adeptus Astartes, simulating the way geneseed activates the organs implanted into their bodies, making it impossible for them to create more of their kind, effectively dooming the chapter from the start...or so the Inquisition thought.
