Space Marine Chapter Articles ---

"No heretic shall ever escape us. No heathen shall ever avoid us. We are the Emperor's most fervent. We are holy servitors of the Cult Imperialis. Remember this, brothers; never relent, for the forces of Chaos shall not show you mercy."

- General Krovont Admerius, prior to a battle against a Warband of Chaos Space Marines

The Rebutors are an ancient, steadfast semi Codex-Compliant Space Marine Chapter founded during the aftermath of the infamous War of the Beast. The Chapter is extremely honorbound, devoted heavily to carrying out tasks and enacting campaigns in honorable manners. Unlike most other Astartes Chapters, the Rebutors value the lives of Imperial citizens, frequently defending them against various threats. This system of belief has earned the Chapter many a disapproval from other Space Marine Chapters of the Imperium, those being more heartless. Similar to that of the Black Templars Chapter, the Rebutors are currently in a Crusade that demands the demise of all aliens and heretics that seek to disturb the might of the Imperium. However, unlike their Black Templars gene-brethren, they are far less extreme and zealous. Holding firm that the duty of all Astartes is to protect mankind, the Chapter teaches its initiates that all of humanity is holy and must be preserved, for the good of the galaxy. With their homeworld being located within the Chiros Sector of the Segmentum Pacificus, the Rebutors are veterans against any form of opponent, whether they be Orks, Chaos heretics, Eldar and other xenos.

The Rebutors are proud successors of the Imperial Fists First Founding Chapter. As sons of the Primarch Rogal Dorn, they are righteous and steadfast, trained to be competent and skillful warriors on the field of battle. However, the Chapter's high value for human life has gained the disapproval of the High Lords of Terra, and as such the Chapter is most never requested to be present in important wars and battles. This circumstance has many times been a terrible burden upon the Rebutors, having caused much loss of faith and doubt amongst their ranks many times.

Early History
Founding (32nd Millenium)

After the monstrous events of the War of the Beast, Maximus Thane, Chapter Master of the Fists Exemplar decreed that the Imperium would birth as many Chapters from stored gene-seed as possible. Several Veterans of the Imperial Fists Chapter decided to take part in this occurrence and form a new Chapter. They provided the initial basis for this new Chapter. After doing so, the Chapter was named the Lions of Retribution. This Chapter would be dedicated to casting retribution upon the xenos who laid waste to much of the galaxy, namely the Orks. Drehg Calavar, a hardened Imperial Fists veteran, was named as the first High General (Chapter Master) of the Lions. From there on, the Chapter began recruiting from various planets in the Segmentum Pacificus. Drehg then proclaimed the beginning of the "Glorious Retribution," an everlasting crusade against the enemies of the Imperium. They roamed the Segmentum in search of a place they could call home. The Chapter was temporarily situated upon the Battle Barge Redemption prior to building their Fortress Monastery.

High General Drehg was not a firm adherent to the Codex Astartes, nor was he a firm divergent. Therefore he did not opt to form the Chapter's doctrine upon the Codex. Instead, similar to that of its parent Chapter, the Lions of Retribution would be semi Codex-Compliant, only adhering to the most necessary parts of Guilliman's Codex. Thus, adhering to the Codex, Drehg divided the Chapter into companies, each of which to be lead by a General. Companies would have four divisions each, being assault, devastator, tactical and the company's special unit.

Annexation of Nemothil (800.M32) "Slay them all! The Emperor demands justice against those who defy his will! No foul alien can stop His fury!"

- General Vies Kughman of the 4th Company, envigorating the Lions during their fight with the Dark Eldar pirates on Nemothil

After having roamed the Segmentum Pacificus for a hefty amount of time, the Chapter's Fleet arrived in the Chiros Sector, which at the time was mostly untouched by the Imperium. There, the Lions were immediately met with groups of alien pirates. Upon seeing the Fleet, most of these pirates fled. However, a brave band of Dark Eldar pirates decided to attack the Imperial vessels. These Dark Eldar served a formidable opponent for the newly founded Chapter. High General Drehg lead the Redemption into the fray of the battle, bringing down several Dark Eldar fighters. Eventually, the xenos began to board the Battle Barge, placing the loyalists within on the defensive. The Dark Eldar could not dent the morale of the fervent Chapter, and soon they were pushed back from both the Redemption and the Fleet itself.

Upon the retreat of the pirates, Grand Technician Caldean Tavareum analyzed an Aeldari relay message that the Redemption had managed to intercept. The message was promptly shared with the Grand Scholar, who decrypted and translated the alien message; "Return to Nemethil immediately; your mission is futile." Fortunately, the Grand Technician was able to track the location the relay message was sent from; a medium-sized, previously thought uninhabited Feral World. It was assumed the Dark Eldar pirates were establishing a colony upon the planet. Drehg noted how disorganized and crude the Dark Eldar pirates were in combat, and viewed this as a prime opportunity to display the prowess of his new Chapter. Thus, the Fleet ventured to the Telgar System, the location of the planet "Nemethil."

Once the Fleet was in high orbit of the planet, three drop pods filled with Scout Marines were deployed. The Scouts were to locate the base of the pirates and signal the Fleet. Then, the Fleet would deploy Space Marines to surround and bombard the area. Soon enough, the Scouts were successful in their endeavor and located a large Aeldari fort. Soon afterward, several squads of the Lions' 4th Company led by General Vies Kughman were deployed to surround the base. As soon as the first bolters were fired, the Dark Eldar fired back. It was clear that they had been expecting the Space Marines. The assault division landed within the walls of the fort, cleaving the xenos with their chainswords one by one. High General Drehg joined the fight, power sword in hand. The aliens put up a fierce fight for the Astartes, and for a short time seemed to hold the upper hand. Yet, despite this, the Lions did not falter. Eventually, the pirates began to flee and disperse. Enraged by this, Drehg ordered the pursuit of the retreating Dark Eldar, claiming their existance to be against the Emperor's will.

With every last Dark Eldar on the planet exterminated, High General Drehg placed the banner of the Chapter upon the ground, claiming the planet for the Imperium and the Chapter. The planet was renamed Nemodar. Shortly after this, the Fortress Monastery of Principalis Ultima was built. Humans began to migrate to the planet, and it quickly became an economic hub.

The Green Death (931.M32)"The hordes were endless, pouring over the hills, carving through the forests, slaughtering innocents. Truly, have I not seen such evil since the days of the Beast."

- Sergeant Willard Brigadus, relaying the story of the Green Death to his battle-brothers

Line Ranks
Unlike most other Codex-Compliant Chapters, Initiates of the Rebutors are assigned into their own Company lead by the Inductor. During an aspiring Astare's time as an Initiate, he is taught to be battle-hardened, fearless and righteous as all children of Dorn. They are trained away from the safe confines of Nemodar. An Initiate will primarily face Orks, however they may also fight the forces of Chaos. The Inductor ensures that most if not all of his trainees will see their own suit of power armor. Sergeants are the standard unit of the Chapter. Each armed with either a bolter or a plasma gun, these warriors are trained by their Squad Sergeant to never flinch at the sight of certain death. They are the constitution of the Chapter, and are respected as the most important Marines. As with all Codex-Compliant and semi Codex-Compliant Chapters, the Devastators of the Rebutors Chapter are composed of the young, newly graduated Scout Marines. They are skilled in the use of the heavy bolter, an iconic weapon of Codex Devastators. The Devastators of the Rebutors do not even jolt as the incredibly powerful gun is fired, proving that the training they underwent as Scout Marines was truly rigorous. The Assault Marines of the Rebutors are skilled swordsmen, hardened veterans of battle, and righteous upholders of justice amongst the Chapter. A fair number of Tactical Marines graduate to become Assault Marines, whether in a ground or air squad. They are also introduced more heavily into the faith of the Chapter, and as such hold a much broader perspective of the Imperium than many of their battle-brothers. They are the driving force of the Glorious Retribution.
