Dust Knights

The Dust Raiders are a chapter of Unknown Founding and origins, though most sources point to the Raven Guard. Mysterious, the Dust Raiders rarely speak to other Imperial Forces, let alone fight alongside them, coming and going as they please. Many Commanders, even fellow Space Marines, have noted how eerie these Adeptus Astartes are. Operating near the Fringe Worlds between Segmentum Obscurus and Segmentum Ultima, the Dust Raiders have struck against Chaos Forces, Tau, Tyranids and so forth, causing mayhem among their ranks. Despite their tactics and attitude, the Dust Raiders value the lives of Imperial Citizens, willing to risk their lives to avoid civilian causalties.

Officer Ranks

 * Dust Lord: The title of Chapter Master, the Dust Lord commands the entire chapter and overseeing the Dust Raiders' operations. As the leader of the chapter, the Dust Lord is also gifted with the chapter's most prize relics of war.

Tau
The Dust Raiders have made enemies of the Tau Empire. Since the Tau's first contact with the Imperium, the Chapter has launched several special operations against several of the xenos' worlds. Most include the assassination of Tau Commanders and Ethereals, destroying supply lines or ambushing their fleets, sometimes slaughtering entire settlements. Tau forces have attempted to stop these attacks, but with little success, as the Dust Raiders are either too fast or disappear before they can be stopped.
