Conquest of Gautgund

The Conquest of Gautgund was a campaign conducting by the newly incepted Marauding Eagles Space Marine Chapter, when the first conquered the isolated feral world of Gautgund and claimed it as their own.

History
The Chapter's claimed its home-world at the very end of M34. The 200 Battle-Brothers, led by their new Chapter Master, Alaric the Conqueror, they stumbled upon Gautgund after getting out of the Immaterium trying to evade a violent Warp-Storm. The Marauding Eagles quickly discovered that the natives were heathens but pure of body and potentially great recruits for the Chapter's survival and future. When their offer of surrender was rejected by the strongest of the petty kingdom doting the planet, the Astartes makes planet-fall and utterly crushes the human defenders.

The ferocity of the natives faced with the impossibility to defeat the Astartes impressed Alaric and the remaining cadre of officers, convincing them that the Gautgunder will be the source material for future Eagles. Once most of the natives of the strongest kingdom are culled, the campaign change to a war of submission for all the tribes and fiefdoms of Gautgund. After two years, all bow to their new lords and accept that the Emperor is the ancestor of all Mankind and that His Son, Jaghataï Khan is the father of all warriors, and thus the ancestor of all Gautgunder. The Marauding Eagles then retire to the ruined fortress of the first kingdom they destroyed to prepare for the Mechanicus arrival and the erection of Arnwarin.
