Index Astartes: Desert Raiders
Origins
The Desert Raiders were founded Late in M35 to counter the increasing Chaos incursions in Rovokan Sector. By the time the newly founded chapter was ready for deployment most of the sector had fallen into the hands of archenemy. Many in the newly founded chapter considered their mission lost before it began. Brother Draylon, the chapter's very first Chaplain, challenged this view, proclaiming it their holy duty to reclaim the sector for Terra.
Inspired by their Chaplains fiery oratory the young Chapter launched a brutal campaign of raids to weaken and destabilize the archenemy's forces. Forced by circumstances to conduct a guerrilla campaign to retake their sectors, the Desert raiders made a virtue of necessity. Striking from the Imperium's few remaining strong holds in the Corribak sub-sector, the Desert Raiders plundered the enemies supply lines and depots. Simultaneously weakening the enemy and adding to their own resources.
The forces of Chaos soon began to view the raiders with superstitious dread. They would strike, seemingly from no where, utterly overwhelm any defenses, and disappear with their loot before any reinforcements could arrive. Over the course of a century the constant raiding caused the breakdown of what little cohesion the followers of Chaos had maintained.
With the forces of the archenemy in disarray a crusade was launched. Brother Draylon's preaching reached beyond his chapter, inspiring other Imperial forces to join the fight, and inciting local populations to rise up against their blasphemous overlords. Over the course of the next fifty years a grand war of faith, lead by the inspiring Chaplain, would reclaim the sector for Him on Earth
