Tempest Sons

====

====The Tempest Guard are a Loyalist Adeptus Astartes chapter of the 11th Founding. A successor chapter of the Imperial Fists, they are experts in the art of siege warfare. Circumstances in and around their home system of Ishkar have also given them extensive knowledge in the practice of surgical raiding, often for the purpose of securing artefacts. Their love of technology has allowed them to form an unusual bond with the Adeptus Mechanicus, though their use of it and unwillingness to share has oft caused the Inquisition to regard them with suspicion.====

Origin
The Tempest Guard were formed during the 10th Founding, roughly 500.M35, in response to a growing number of Ork and Chaos incursions in the Scarus sector. The exact date and nature of the founding is lost due to the ransacking of Prima Concordia's Library during the Siege of Ishkar, and the incomplete records of the Adeptus Administratum.

History

Geneseed
The geneseed of the Tempest Guard is maintained obsessively and remains almost completely mutation free. However, they have lost the use of their Belcher's Gland and the Sus-an Membrane, much like their forebearers. A shared trait of their genome is their tireless pursuit of victory in the name of the Emperor, and an overarching desire to be totally efficient in all tasks. Though not as extreme as their progenitor, Tempest Guards often see the smallest faults or inadequacies, and punish themselves accordingly. Due to this, other Chapters not descended from Dorn may find them overly strict and harsh.

Organisation
The Tempest Guard are a Codex Astartes compliant Chapter with 10 Companies of 100 Marines, lead by a Captain. They are, however, unique in the fact that each of the first four Companies contains a Strike Squad, made up of Terminators or Veterans. The purpose of these are twofold - to quickly and efficiently acquire artefacts or resources from a myriad of locations, and to rapidly deploy elite teams to weak points in an enemy's defenses.
