Settled upon the world known as Goldavos Prime, The Chapter is known for hunting their enemies in a aggressive manner stopping at nothing but the word of the High Lords or Inquisitors if told.

Because of them being Ultramarine successors the Chapter tries to keep their legacy in top shape striving for more then optimal success rate and performance of an average Chapter. Many from different branches that catalog Astartes and Chapters suspected that it may come from the fear of being replaced like they did to those that were down to 25 or less.

This move was also to act as a reinforcement for the Astartes Praeses. Even with the might of 19 chapters facing Chaos head on it wasn't enough to hold for long. The loyalists were slaughtered one by one until they had to retreat. When the retreat was made 2 chapters fell behind and once home planet was lost to the horde of the Death Guard. The Carbon Fists were one of the few who escaped the the hordes of deamons and traitors losing 8 companies. On a unknown world the Chapter was within reach of extinction for a part of the horde arrived upon them.
