''' Cosmic Marines '''

·         Origins and Treachery

 Ø   The Cosmic Marines were founded during the 26th Founding and under the Primarch of the Emperor and Damaeus Kalin as their Chapter-commander.

 Ø   Originally deployed to fight the Orks of the Charadon Empire, they were deployed to Ulferth, a vast desert planet, plentiful in resources. During the Orks ill-fated attempt to invade the planet and wipe out the Imperium’s presence on the planet, yet the marines soon found themselves fighting an uphill battle as the Orks were slowly fought to a stalemate. The marines were than further strained by the call of a good chunk of their force to fight upon Aster at the request of the Feudal Brotherhood.

 Ø   Damaeus soon had to stretch his forces to the limit as the Orks continued to push on the Marines, yet the marines fought hard and despite a shortage in numbers managed to push the Orks straight off the planet, overrunning the last of the Orks several weeks prior to their defection.

 Ø   The Chapters Chaplains were all mostly dead and those who were left were seriously disillusioned. The Chapter soon questioned why they had fought the battle for an ice covered wasteland, losing many of their brothers in the process. They became resentful of their brothers on Aster and the Imperium in general for sending them to the hell hole that is Ulferth.

 Ø   Damaeus soon began to look past his devotion to the Imperium and soon decided that their brothers on Aster were forfeit and they should strike out on their own, serving their own needs rather than those of the greedy Imperium. They sought vengeance against the Imperium for their losses and, wealth for themelves.

 Ø   <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">They go on a raiding spree across the Imperium hitting colonies across the Imperium, while their brothers on Aster forming a loyalist’s chapter with the sole purpose of putting down their brothers in the rogue chapter. They raid Imperium colonies hitting fledgling colonies for resources and begin to plan an attack on the Orks planet of Everdorn.

They fight their way across Everdorn and eventually force the remaining Orks into a pocket on the planets dense wooded area. The Marines then enslave all Orks they had captured and force them to mine ore and other valuable materials from the planet which they promptly trade to whomever wish to but them.

The Cosmic Marines are eventually forced to back off, suffering heavy losses from the fighting.

They again go on a raiding rampage as they build up their numbers again. They decide to re-focus on the Imperium and decide to hit a forge world.

They attack the planet with the full force of their chapter and find the defenses to be extremely tough. Their Loyalist Brothers arrive and help the planetary defense force fight the Cosmic Marines, the CMs fight through the defenses and their brethren only to be confronted by a regiment of Imperial Guardsmen backed up by several Titans. They continue to fight the Guardsmen and but their losses begin to mount, in orbit their Battle Barge is fighting the fleet of their loyalist brethren and the Imperial Navy also. <span style="font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">

There they slowly begin to rebuild their numbers for another swipe at the Imperium but for now they hold their ground and fight the Imperium on Cerberus. <span style="font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">
