History:
The Chapter Participated in the Second war for Armageddon and the 13th Black Crusade. The Chapter in the Second War for Armageddon was almost completely destroyed as on the planet of Armageddon Delta, the Life eater virus was blown by the winds of Armageddon and the Sword Templar's 6 companies were eaten alive by the virus. The chapter has struggled ever since. The Chapter Later still understrength aided the Dusk Guard Chapter in the Destruction of the Order of the Bloody Hand.

The Two Chapters were sent to destroy the Order of the Bloody Hand Space Marine Chapter due to that the Chapter had turned away from the Emperor's light and was in league with the Eldar. The Two Chapters seeing that the Order of the Bloody Hands were not only in control of a fortress monastery and a size-able Fleet, it also possessed an entire system. But as they were preparing to Attack the Order of the Bloody Hand's System, an Fleet of Inquisition and Imperial Navy Forces Arrived to Aid in the Destruction of the Bloody Hands.

The Sword Templar were the first to arrive in the System and they took with them a Battle Barge called the Heart of Gods met the Bloody Hand's Fleet. The bloody Hands opened fire on the Battle Barge but Immediately as they fired upon the Battle Barge. The Rest of the Imperial Forces Arrived quickly surprising the Bloody Hand's Fleet, and scattering them. The Imperial Navy and Inquisition Targeted the Main Communications and Supply Lines. While the Two Chapters who Stood at 2,000 Battle Brothers Strong in total were ready to Assault the Monastery of the Order of the Bloody Hand.

Both Chapters Hoped that the Fleet of the Bloody Hand's had not returned to the Monestary as the Pyskers of the Dusk Guard had blocked all communications between the fleet and the Planets.

Taking the risk the Entire Fleet of the Two Chapters Appeared over the Monestary planet of Dreadlocks IV and started to bombard any Anti-Ship weaponry that was located on the Planet. Meanwhile on the Planet below the Bloody Handed Chapter had just been fully gathered in the Monastery beginning to Leave through a webway as all communications with their fleet was gone. Seeing the worst the Entire Chapter had pulled its forces back to the Monastery and was preparing to go through a webway gifted to them by the Eldar.

Immediately when the planet was bombarded and as their sensors picked up ships in Orbit. The Entire Chapter Settled into its new positions and Fired upon the Invaders.

The Two Chapters was surprised that the Bloody Hand's were able to fire back and even destroy a few ships. the Two Chapters agreed the Battle had to be taken to the ground so the Sword Templars Drop podded into the Fortress Monastery's inner walls. As the protective covering of the mountain was obliterated exposing it to a airdrop. The Sword Templars fought the Bloody Hand's On the Sacred Barracks and the streets of the Monastery both chapters fought. But the Order of the Bloody Hand was over 2,000 Space Marines, (having disregarded the codex completely it was clear they were traitors as some of them had mutated.) while the Sword Templars only measured around 987 Battle Brothers. The Sword Templars then rushed with their assault squads to destroy the orbital cannons slaughtering many of the Bloody Hand's in their wake. Then the Dusk Guard Arrived seeing the Orbital Cannons all destroyed the Entire Dusk Guard Chapter Deployed their many War-machines and their Storm Ravens and Thunder Hawks pounded against the walls of the Monastery, in only a few moments the Walls of the Bloody Hand's Monastery were gone and the Dusk Guard had killed Hundreds of Bloody Hands and PDF Troopers in the fighting.

Seeing that the Two chapter's were only focused on destroying the Bloody Hand's. The Bloody Hand's Deployed their entire Chapter in City Fighting to try and Fight off the Invaders. The Two Chapters seeing the enemies sloppy and desperate tactic bombarded the Bloody Hand's Forces with Vindicators and Land Raiders. Soon the Bloody Hands had suffered a massive causality rate. Seeing their chapter doomed. At least two companies of Bloody Hand's Activated some xenos artifact and escaped leaving the rest of the Bloody Hand's to destroy the xeno's relic. Soon the Librarians that had stayed including the Chief Librarian walled in with at least 500 of the last remaining Bloody Hand's and the two Chapters the Dusk and the Templar's both looked at the almost beaten Bloody Hands.

The Three Chapters stood for a moment looking at each other. And the Chief Librarian of the Bloody Hand's Spoke and asked, "Why Brothers do you attack us when we had no reason to fight us? Why would the Inquisition want us dead? What did the Inquisition proclaim us of being Conspirators? We use our knowledge to fight and we have successfully saved millions this way! You must see sense!"

The Chapter Master of the Dusk Guard responded, "You Misguided fool, what you have done is turn away from the Emperor's Light, conspiring with Xenos and using their technology as your own and for disobeying all the Laws placed by the Imperium you and your chapter are to be exterminated. Your hersey and destruction of your mutated brothers you must all die for this sin against the imperium of man! So say the High Lords of Terra and the Inqusition your chapter will burn for its unfaithfulness."

The Sword Templar Chapter Master yelled. "Die Traitors for what grief you have caused for my chapter! You Must Die for your sins!" And with that the Two Chapters charged the Bloody Hand's in close combat.

The Dusk Guard Chapter Master Beheaded the Chief Librarian. While the Sword Templar Chapter master slaughtered the Entire Retinue of the Librarian's. And with that the entire Bloody Handed Chapter was almost exterminated only the Two Companies and the scattered Bloody Hand's fleet remained.

But the Dusk Guard and Sword Templars thought their enemy was destroyed and took the system with-in the week. Though the costs were high the Sword Templars, had be triumphant and had claimed the system with the Dusk guard as their new recruiting worlds. The Two Chapters Parted as they both were called to aid in the 13th Black Crusades.

The Sword Templars recently have also been involved in working with the Wanderers Chapter against an insurrection against a Chaos Warband that strangely look like the Wanderers.

The chapter has only sent 3 companies into the 13th Black Crusade and outright refuse to go to Armaggeddon after their last misfortune. The chapter has been also spreading its forces to fight in other areas as well, the Dusk Guard and the Sword Templars are now fighting together agianst an insurrection of Dark Eldar in the Ghoul Stars. Rescueing a Few Astrates of another chapter from their evil clutches.
