Silver Fists

A Chapter formed of Primaris Space Marines created from Rogal Dorn's geneseed, who served as part of Guilliman's Unnumbered Sons during the Indomitus Crusade. After the Avenging Sons's Crusade ended, The Silver Fists were formed and relocated to Sebastus VI, were they began recruiting and strengtening their numbers. Having studied the tactics of the Imperial Fist, the Crimson Fist and even the Black Templars chapters that were available, they began to develop their own strategies to intervene in both xenos and traitor attacks on populated worlds and valuable locations.

Chapter History
During the late years of the crusade, Chapter Master Solomon Bas, then the rank of Captain, displayed impressive leadership capabilities and tactical skill, when he succesfully spearheaded an operation to intervene in an invasion of the Sebastus system by The Iron Warriors, trying to reclaim the planet Sebastus IV, on which their Primarch, the Olympian Perturabo, had been defeated in the Iron Cage conflict with The Imperial Fists and The Ultramarines. Guilliman commended Captain Bas for his achievement, and noted upon their brief meeting in person, how much Solomon reminded him of his lost brother Rogal Dorn, in both appearance, mannerisms and tactics. This led to The Primarch allowing Bas to remain in the Sebastus system, to reinforce it's defense by founding a new Chapter for him to oversee; The Silver Fists.

The Chapter settled on the well-populated planet Sebastus VI on the outskirts of the System, where they quickly began recruiting individuals to strengthen their ranks. In a matter of years, their number tallied in the hundreds. Not long after, however, the Silver Fists became aware of the overwhelming and relentless attacks of Orks, Tyranids and Heretic Astartes in the nearby subsectors, and the Astartes unanimously could not simply stand by and watch the onslaught of these dreaded enemies of mankind. Chapter Master Bas decided to split the Chapter's companies in two, the first half to to venture out and engage the xenos and traitors, while the other were to remain and defend the Sebastus System and continue the recruitment and training of new initiates.They would do so on their newly constructed Battle Barge, The Gauntlet of Prodigy, a mighty vessel to carry the Chapter amongst the stars and to the worlds in need of their aid.

Of the Astartes of the Silver Fists, none had surprised more than their First Captain, Kirwin Kowal. Mutation is nigh impossible amongst Primaris Space Marines, but Kirwin was one of the very few that suffered from such. His fifth implanted organ, the Magnificat, did not function as intended, and his posthuman growth was limited compared to his fellow initiates. Compared to a human, he would still tower above them, but next his Primaris peers, he was but a runt. While only a minor alteration, to some, he was considered a failure, and it was suggested he was to be given The Emperor's Peace. But before such an extreme measure could be executed, The Chapter Master himself intervened. He saw that the boy, despite harrasment and mockery, refused to give in, and burned with fiery devotion to become one of The Emperor's finest warriors. And so, the initiate was given a chance. Under the watchful gaze of spiteful and wary eyes, Kirwin fought hard to stand equal besides his Battle Brother, despite his smaller stature. But it wasn't long before he would prove himself beyond them in both prowess and spirit.

Kowal served as part of an Intercessor squad in one of the Chapters first operations, an intervention of an Ork raid on a small Agri-World, and along with another squad, the Marines had quickly found themselves pinned under fire from a massive Greenskin Warmachine. The Squads' morale had been broken by the almost instant death and paralyzing injury of their respective commanding Lieutenants, when Kowal suddenly jumped out from cover, carrying a boltor pistol in one hand and a grenade in the other, while screaming the Chapter's  Battle Cry at the top of his lungs, and sprinted towards the Ork's dreadful machination. Whether it was sheer dumb luck or the Emperor's guidance, little Brother Kowal wasn't torn to shreds by the Xenos' onslaught, and when in range, the throw of his single grenade rang true and blew the Warmachine to pieces. This astonishing action turned the tide of the skirmish, and the Greenskins were forced to retreat.
