Editing Astartes Salvator (section)

== History ==
WIP 

The Beheading rocked the Imperium to the core. A hundred years of anarchy ensued in it's wake, a century of disorder, heresy and slaughter. Having finally had enough of this blatant and clear failure in the Adeptus Terra, Agnathio, the current Chapter Master of the Ultramarines, gathered 50 of his fellows and set a course for Holy Terra.

Once the Adeptus Terra was reinstated, Agnathio and the newly instated High Lords worked closely together to prevent another Beheading from happening. 

They decided on raising a specialized chapter, with the mission of protecting the Imperium, it's people, and their leaders. Seeing the Raven Guard as ideal for the task, the High Lords took existing gene stock, along with hand-picked Raven Guard Veterans and raised a new chapter based on the frozen dwarf planet of Eris.

The chapter was named the Astartes Salvator - literally Astartes Rescuers and subjected to intense live-fire training from the Raven Guard and selected Deathwatch veterans. These included complex simulated hab-block breach and clears, simulated hostage rescues, and intense simulated urban combat situations.

Once this harsh trial was complete, the hardened chapter took part in the subsequent suppression of rebellion on many worlds, using their skills at irregular urban warfare to get a leg up on the for in these conflicts.

During the Columbia Insurrection in M35, the Astartes Salvator were tasked with "terror raids" on the traitor worlds, inflicting massive civilian casualties and destroying key bits of infrastructure to cripple the rebellion. These raids were carried out successfully, and with the aid of several regiments of Cadian Shock Troopers, the planets forcibly pacified.

In 100.M36, heretical elements on Holy Terra made an attempt to take control of Terra, holding hostage tens of thousands of Menials in a secured fort. However, a squad of the Astartes Salvator was sent in, and upon breaching, killed every heretic - allowing the Administratum to function at full efficiency once more.
