DesolationSword Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Well, as my first post here, I wanted to introduce my chapter, the Desolation Hawks. http://i699.photobucket.com/albums/vv360/Spartan-039/dh3.jpg This is the color scheme of the chapter. A chapter of the 6th Founding, the Desolation Hawks are a descendent of the Imperial Fists but most of the facts of their origin are shrouded in legend. But the original master of the Desolation Hawks, Master Norn, supposdly fought in two Black Crusades before finally sucumbing in the final actions of the Third Black Crusade. Since then, the Desolation fought bravely in many engagements, mostly in fighting orks on the Eastern Fringe. Soon, the chapter built it's first fortress-monestary on Batarax Prime, the main planet in the Batarax system, with recruiting stations created in neighboring systems to help make up for losses against the orks. But as with many things; facts fade into legend and those legends fade as well. After over two millenium of honorable war against the orks, a Waaagh! attacks the Batarax system in a surprise and daring raid during 735 M33. The ork Warlord Gutgrabba' soon crash-landed a rok fortress near the north pole in an attempt to deploy his ground troops as his fleet engaged the orbital defense grid. Unfortunatly, the defense grid was built on a design from an STC artifact found in a drifting space hulk over a century earlier. The relic provided a superior design of a laser weapon, not a lance weapon, but a rapid-fire laser with considerably less power drain. This weapon, mounted not only on the defense platforms, but on the battlebarge Wrath of the Hawks as well. More will be posted later on, when I get to write some more. But that STC artifact shall definatly be a part of the future. Comments and critisms are welcome, especially if it can help me in any errors in dates or established fluff.

DesolationSword Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Thanks for the links, they were incrediablly helpful. As for the purose, I was trying to get some background material for the chapter. And, as a new space marine player, I haven't had much experiance in the character of chapters. But I do have a question; what kind of characteristics do descendents of the Imperial Fists have?

NightrawenII Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 But I do have a question; what kind of characteristics do descendents of the Imperial Fists have? They are stubborn... :D This trait is common for gene-line of Dorn, you are free to invent any other for your Chapter.
