Fire Fists

""It is our sworn duty to humanity and the Emperor: to burn away the heretic, to honor and unify mankind, to uphold the sanctity of human life, and to sell our lives dearly for the Imperium and its citizens. In the name of the Emperor, Holy Terra, and mankind...we persevere.""

- Fire Fists Oath of Service

Background
The Fire Fists exist as something of an oddity; in spite of being only a few centuries old, they maintain a large collection of articifer equipment and war machines that date nearly back to the Horus Heresy. Additionally they claim no progenitors and none have claimed them. Odder still is the number of warriors who appear to be many centuries old with markings that predate the campaigns and insignia of the Fire Fists themselves. They have an obsession with the Fire Hawks and the Cursed Founding, seeking out the surviving chapters and any remnants of their passing.

The Chapter was founded in relative obscurity with little information available while the Chapters Veterans and founders remain tight lipped. All that is known is that in the latter part of the 41st millennium a Fleet appeared on the Fringes of Imperial space to put down a rampaging Ork horde on a small planet. The planet was ot significant to the imperial war machine and had been left to fend for itself. The peples prayers to the Emperor seemed to be answered as his Angels, Clad in resplendent white with fire dancing across their armor, cut down the greenskins in swift and brutal fashion.

The Fire Fists are a fleet based chapter, operating as a rapid response force to hot zones across the Imperium. They defend any planet that belongs to humanity with a tenacious stoicism. No planet or bastion of man is too small. The chapter is known for its dedication to saving all human life and will accept heavy casualties to protect civilians. It is not uncommon for the bravest inhabitants of planets saved to be offered admittance to the Chapter auxiliary personnel, with a choice few given the opportunity to join the chapter as Astartes.

The chapter will often deploy response teams to reconquer planets once abandoned, reclaiming it for the Emperor and freeing its subjects. The increasingly persistent defense and attack order of battle means that the chapter is unable to remain at full strength for long. Recruits are drawn from many worlds and the Chapter endeavors to uphold ancient Terran traditions of stoicism, learning, and honor; with the Fire Fists following a strict code and adherence to a Knightly title and veterancy system.

Chapter Organization
The Fire Fists follow the Codex Astartes with a liberal adherence, they seek its guidance and wisdom but ultimately believe that the Chapter should organize and act in a way that would most represent the Emperor's will and serve mankind the best.
