The Blessed Angels

The Blessed Angels

The chapter
The Blessed Angels (Known as Rashamata in there language) is a chapter made just after the Horus Heresy. They are made from the Geneseed of a number of different chapters including: Blood Angels, Space Wolves and Salamanders.

Origin
The chapter plans were made during the Great Crusade but was cancelled due to the thought that the current legions were sufficient. During the Horus Heresy and seeing the imperfection of the current space marine design they resumed the project in secret, in M32 the original marine was made for the chapter.The chapter was only allowed to fight if no other chapters except other chapters made from the project and the Grey Knights. The project was only accessed by high ranking Inquisitors, high ranking Deathwatch, the Grey Knights and high level staff in Magos Biologis department. The project was kept a secret up untill M40 when the chapter met one of there creators the Blood Angels chapter, since then they have been put on normal missions and are no longer a high valued secret but are on a need to know basis of infomation.

The project was named "Project Matoris" as that was the planet it was worked on.

Chapter Homeworld
The chapter homworld designated  Gyrashia  known in the natives tongue as Rasha is marked as a deathworld with only 3 cities no towns of villages. The planets terrain is made up of burning deserts acidic oceans and dangerous jungles makes the space marines training harder then the other chapters made in the project. Althrough there are no known villages or towns the rest of the population  that didn't live in the cities were either gypsies or bandits, The gypsies were allways moving in case of a storm, bandit raid or creatures that lived on the planet attacked them. The cities only allowed gypsies in for a few reasons: Festivals, Supplies, Trading, Space marine recrutment, Imperial guard recruitment/Squad swapping. Due to the gypsies not having access to the cities at times of war all children are trained to fight, hunt, forage, survive and shoot and all gypsy groups are given a squad of Imperial Guardsmen.

Chapter life
Life in the chapter is very hetic as companies try to get things done before dawn for as soon as the sun comes up they train, drill, recruit, manage and sort out the people in the cities and themselves if they do all this before mid day on there planet (A day on there planet is 12 earth years) they get the rest of the day for whatever they like. If 1 brother doesn't do all his roles by mid day the entire company don't get free time.

The Black Rage
Due to the chapter having Blood angels geneseed they do have the Black Rage and the Red Thirst it just isn't that common. The Death Company colors for the chapter is light grey.

Recruitment
Most of the scouts are picked out from the gypsy groups due to them being more skilled at fighters, everyone that fails the trials go on to become elite soldiers in the imperial guard regiment that is also recruited on that planet.

Life as a scout
The training for a scout includes in the assault company: Training as jungle fighters, Drving Landspeeders/bikes through the jungles, Using jump packs all across the planet (Including high altitudes and space) and making there own weapons.
