Tripartite Schism

The Tripartite Schism was one of the darkest and most lamentable periods in the history of the Novus Krakens Space Marine Chapter. It was during this tumultuous era, where the Chapter fell into an inter-Chapter schism and was sundered into three separate factions with separate philosophies and ideals. Tragically, the Novus Krakens homeworld of Mobidium was destroyed along with a good portion of the Chapter's history and relics.

History
A great sundering of the once wholly loyalist chapter that resulted in thrice a fracture of beliefs and ideals. This section of the chapter's history revolved entirely around the Fall of Mobidium, the loss of the Chapter's Homeworld. From this grave conflict rose three separate chapters of differing alignment. The Novus Krakens, warriors of Mobidium and adherents to Krakonicus, remained loyal to the Imperium and fought the traitors that wished to bring only ruin. The Leviathans Eclipse, a newly created Chaos Warband from the designs of Androgous Mokurn: a Warmaster who's might laid not only in the Daemon Weapon he carried, but the might of his mind, as well. Finally, and unbeknownst to the Krakens, the Penumbral Hydras took their place as shadowy wardens, secretly devising their own machinations in service of whatever end they collude to. Indeed, it is not incorrect to compare the Penumbral Hydras to the Alpha Legion heretic astartes, but yet an encounter later shows they remain ungifted by the gods of chaos. This fracture would carve the path the three wayward brothers would take in pursuit of their goals; however varied, or similar, they may be.
