Of all of the Space Marine Chapters, none are so legendary in their hatred of the enemies of Man as the [[Desert Fangs]], now known only as the "[[Angry Marines]]" since the [[Horus Heresy]]. The Angry Marines were also renowned for their resilience against the corruptions of [[Chaos]]. This was believed to be their rage shielding them from Chaos' whispers, but in M36, a heretical Magos Biologis by the name of Jakobus Hamundr discovered ancient records on the Angry Marines' [[gene-seed]]. The information was incomplete, but it whispered that the [[Rachnus Rageous|Primarch of the Second Legion]] was potentially a Null of phenomenal power, and that his anti-psychic nature had imprinted itself on his Legion's gene-seed. The effect had been suppressed for unclear reasons, and supplemented with the burning hatred which earned the Angry Marines their name. Hamundr was convinced that he could restore it in order to create a Chapter with the same if not greater Warp-resistance as the Angry Marines, but without the instability of the Angry Marines' berserk rage.  The Adeptus Indignatus would not cooperate with a successor less angry than they, so Hamundr had to ask the [[Doom Eagles]] to lend a leadership team to instill a proper [[Codex Astartes|Codex-compliant]] nature into the inductees of the new chapter.  Hamundr shortly disappeared after the gene-seed's creation, supposedly silenced by the Inquisition, though for unknown reasons the gene-seed made it to the Founding.

The next Founding turned out to be the [[21st Founding|Cursed 21st]], and Hamundr's plan soon went awry.  The Warp-resistance was almost non-existent, with an abnormally high gene-seed rejection rate, especially within those of even the smallest psychic potential, causing them to suffer excruciating soul-pain before eventually expiring. While the Knights were not afflicted by the iconic berserk rage of their progenitors, neither did they exhibit the proper disdain for or hatred of Mankind's enemies; it seemed that the altered gene-seed had failed to carry over the vehement hatred that the Space Marines are so feared and admired for, instead encouraging an implacable if not dour state of mind.  Most crucially however, post-implant recruits proved extremely resistant to the mental conditioning used to train inductees in other Chapters in the art of war, greatly increasing the amount of training a recruit had to undergo and leaving the Chapter vulnerable to human fears. The chapter's leadership decided that a crusade would harden the Knights' hearts with the fires of war, and so the Knights Inductor set off for the nearby war-torn world of Kronos VI.

====Crusade on Kronos VI====

Kronos VI was a Hive World home to several munitions manufactora, where the working class had suffered for generations under the yoke of their planetary leadership, until they realized that they outnumbered their rulers by about six orders of magnitude. The Munitorum demanded that order be restored by any means possible, and the standard practice for such situations was that the rebellion be annihilated.

The [[Salamanders]] had also sent a detachment to Kronos VI, under the command of one Captain Carolus Norys. Where the Angry Marines shunned the Knights for their dispassion, and their leadership pushed them in a direction they did not truly desire, Norys gladly took the fledgling Chapter under his wing, and the Knights soon saw him as their [[spiritual liege]]. He instilled in them a sense of guardianship: that their purpose was to protect the [[Imperium]] first, and only to exercise force in the service of that purpose, and even then, to minimize collateral damage while doing so. Rather than destroying the rebellion, the Salamanders and Knights Inductor worked to address the populace's demands for better living conditions and a government more responsive to their grievances, overseeing the revitalization of the primary hive city. Their solution took longer than a simple extermination campaign would have, but it resulted in a stable government, better living conditions for the Kronans, and a more productive, stable world in the long run. The Knights Inductor knew that they had found their purpose at last: to seek troubled systems, repair them, and leave them better off than before.

The Knight Inductor's origins, despite being relatively recent circa M36 have been shrouded through interference and intrigue.  There are some claims to their being descendants of a Founding Legion but out of all the current Founding Chapters none have records pertaining to the Successor Chapter known as the Knights Inductor.  Attempts to procure the source of their gene-stock results in Inquisitorial interference.  All that is known for sure is that they were part of the [[21st Founding|Cursed 21st]] Founding and had their gene-seed tampered in such a way as to produce a Warp-resistant strain as a counter to Chaos.  There are a few Chapters of Adeptus Astartes that are known for Chaos resistance, such as the venerable Grey Knights and the extreme Exorcists, both using differing methods with positive results but never before had the gene-seed been directly modified to do so.

The results were mixed at best.  While the average Knights Inductor indeed proved to be more resistant to the wiles of Chaos, they did not show any particularly significant benefits or advantages in engaging the forces of Chaos over the aforementioned Grey Knights and Exorcists.  In larger groups they had the potential to stifle the effects of the Warp to an extent but nowhere anywhere near the effectiveness of a Culexus or equivalent Grey Knight force.  This mild benefit was matched with a higher than normal rejection rate, particularly within those that exhibited Warp-sensitivity or Psyker potential.  The resulting rejection grew all the more excruciating to those who could become Psykers, forcing the Knights Inductor to pre-screen candidates for psychic potential and recruiting them without implantation, depriving the Chapter of regular Librarians.  With this as the last straw the Ordos Malleus declared the testing of the Chapter for their use as a dedicated anti-Chaos force a failure.

On top of all this, initiates proved to be equally resistant to hypnotherapy training and typical indoctrination procedures, lengthening the amount of required to train initiates up to combat standards.  Without the mental conditioning of Space Marines, they came to be regarded with disdain as pseudo-Marines and their naturally calm and dour state of mind lacking righteous fury as potentially detrimental to their faith in the Emperor.  To some in the Inquisition these side-effects weren't enough to deter them from attempting to replicate the Warp-resistance effects but the original research data was already long lost. 

====Crusade on Kronos====
After initial testing by the Inquisition of their anti-Warp traits and subsequent declarations as failures in that regard, they were given under the leadership of the [[Doom Eagles]] in order to instill a Codex-compliant nature into the still raw Knight Inductor Chapter. The chapter's leadership decided that a crusade would harden the Knights' hearts with the fires of war, and so the Knights Inductor set off for the nearby war-torn world of Kronos VI.

Kronos VI was a Hive World home to several munitions manufactora, where the working class had suffered for generations under the yoke of their planetary leadership, until they realized that they outnumbered their rulers by about six orders of magnitude. The Munitorum demanded that order be restored by any means possible, and the standard practice for such situations was that the rebellion be annihilated.
