History
Led astray by the words of the now Excommunicate Traitoris Rogue Trader Neiro Phospharrion, the Dragons Amaranthine deploy en-masse to the densely populated Grigon System, containing a cardinal world, a forge world, two hive worlds and an agri-world. On the Rogue Trader's word, the Dragons make warp transit into the system and are immediately ambushed by waiting Drukhari warships. Decimated by the attack, the Space Marine forces present suffer 70% casualties, with 20% wounded severely enough to require interment in a Dreadnought sarcophagi. The Dragons beat a hasty retreat, forced to leave the system to the mercy of the Dark Eldar raiders. The Traitorous Rogue Trader is excommunicated following a summary inquest by the Inquisition, on grounds of making deals with xenos races that are not for the benefit of the Imperium. Following the decimation, the chapter is reduced to a shell of its former might, relying more than nearly any other chapter on its dreadnought ancients. Though their strength has since been rebuilt, they are still heavily reliant on their venerable brethren.
