Teeth of the Storm

The chapter of the Adeptus Astartes known as the Teeth of the Storm are a 4th Founding Chapter created in the middle centuries of M32, following the near-disastrous War of the Beast. Th Teeth of the Storm were one of several newly created Chapters created to help bring order to an Imperium rife with civil strife and insurrection, and to help restore Imperial law. Following their inception, they were charged with standing sentinel against xenos and Chaos threats in the Maelstrom Zone, the region of Imperial space surrounding the notorious Maelstrom warp rift.

Chapter Home World
Scoanerth III is a desert planet located to the north of the Maelstrom. having once been covered in titanic quartz crystals, until a planetary impact shattered them into razor-sharp microscopic shards. sandstorms are known for shredding everything not wearing protective gear. cities are built underneath mountain ranges and sealed with starship grade blast-doors. a massive crater shows where the chapter monastery used to be.

Fortress-Monastery
Once a ground-based monastery known as The Sprawl, the star fort, Pride of Scoanerth, is the pride of this chapter. In the closing days of M41, as the Great Rift split the sky, massive engine columns ignited, shattering the ground and lifting the star fort out of Scoanerth III's gravity well. Equipped with sufficient thrust for atmospheric operations in planets up too 0.0002% greater than Terra.

Chapter Culture
The Teeth of The Storm borrow heavily from the culture of Scoanerth III, with surnames being based upon deeds done as initiates (i.e. Chapter Master Petrus outriding a sandstorm on a bike). The chapter also places heavy respect in culinary skills stemming from the tradition of preparing native creatures in a variety of ways.

Chapter Beliefs
This chapter considers The Emperor an ancestor figure in a way different from other chapters. they revere him as the "storm father", creator of all holy storms, and the gods of chaos as the creators of the evil storms (i.e. warp storms).

Chapter Gene-Seed
This chapter has an inactive Betcher's Gland and Sus-an Membrane.

Primarch's Curse: Move to Survive
In a departure from the demeanour of The Imperial fists, this chapter loathes long siege campaigns, instead choosing to hit fortresses in swift armoured assaults. This flaw likely comes from the survival need to stay moving on their home planet.
