Editing The Entombed (section)

=Gene-seed and Successors=

The genetic legacy of Golgothos is renowned for its stability. Surviving records of the phenotypic expression found early in the Great Crusade show little or no drift, even with regard to minor details such as the implantees' enjoyment of semi-rhythmic working sounds. Were it not for the profound difficulties in replicating the gene-seed in thralls, there can be little doubt that the Entombed would have been used as the source for dozens of Successor Chapters. For centuries, gene-wrights have attempted to mitigate this flaw with little success, though occassionally their painstaking efforts have at least resulted in the founding of a new Space Marine Chapter.
