Sun Hawks

"To accept the deaths of our fallen brothers is utterly incomprehensible. Many have already said that we cling too much to the past, and that we grasp for pointless chances of revenge whenever the opportunity may present itself. I say this is wrong my brothers. We hold on to the past because we know that it is our duty to remember those who fell so we may live on, and we take upon these acts of "revenge", so we may honor those fallen, and prevent others from having to go through the same fate we have."

- Chapter Master Calixto Venerus

The Sun Hawks are a Chapter of loyalist Space Marines who have only recently been brought to full strength, following their recent creation and their early engagements with enemy forces across the Imperium's borders. The Chapter has been known to have an almost spotless combat record, their battle reports from them or soldiers fighting by their side being filled with descriptions of valorous charges, heroic defenses and daring missions behind enemy lines, and much more. Although having been in service for merely around five centuries, the Sun Hawks have more than distinguished themselves in the eyes of the High Lords of Terra and the entire Imperium.

The Sun Hawks have been known to engage in numerous battles involving the Tyranids, even going as far as to trying to track down the locations of nearby Hive Fleets or Tendril's and attacking them without hesitation, even if the number of enemy forces demanded that they called for reinforcements, or despite how low their numbers are. They have created an aptitude for killing these xenos, a skill which mankind will undoubtedly have great need of now and in the future. They know exactly where and when to hit the Tyranids to do the most damage, and in what offensive and defensive ways to act against them. They have been especially close to both the Ordo Xenos and the Ultramarines' Tyrannic War Veterans units. The lust for fighting Tyranids is also guided by a flame of vengeance, as the Tyranids were responsible for the destruction of their former homeworld Hethos, and caused the Chapter to lose much of their manpower. However, as understandable as it may be that they wish to avenge their fallen brothers, they have been known to act almost recklessly just for a chance to get a single grasp of revenge against the Tyranids, which has lead to many in the Imperium to question can they be kept in line.
