Out of all the Eagle Warrior successors, the Marines August are the most well equipped, with the most powerful naval power. Created as a crusading fleet in the 35th millennium, it was a joint project with the Imperial Navy, as the chapter would act as the navy's enforcer near the ghoul stars. The marines saw much action since their creation, slowly but surely gaining Independence as their fame and experience grew. They eventually broke off ties with their naval commandants, allying themselves with two rouge trader dynasties to have a stable chain of supplies to afford the upkeep of their flotilla. Because of there new found sense of independence, they fell out of grace with the Imperial High Lords, and often find themselves requested to deal with increasingly unfavorable odds. Despite all these disadvantages, they keep the flotilla at full strength, no matter the cost.

They are a codex complaint chapter who specialize in boarding actions. They formally recruited from the children of navymen exclusively, but now their recent status often requires more drastic measures. The chapter is known for pressing men into service on their fleets, and for employing pressgangs to shanghai both men and children. Whatever children get kidnapped are raised to be marines, with the majority dying before they even reach the flotilla due to neglect. It has been noted on at least two separate occasions that the chapter has stolen entire vessels from the Imperial Navy after particularly damaging battles that the two find themselves in, though they are officially regarded by the Administratum as "lost". They are at roughly half strength, and contain a sizable fleet for an astartes chapter. 

They do not like working alongside other forces, seeing as only other naval men being worthwhile. This arrogance is reflected in their fleet's architecture and armor, being ostentatious and overly ceremonial, with every marine dawning a golden helmet. The chapter does not believe in planetside ground skirmished unless more expedient or less costly than other measures. If tasked to defeat an overwhelming army occupying a world, they will often use orbital bombards, destroying large sections of the planets surface. Needless to say, allied forces will choose to fight a horde by their lonesome over receiving aid from the Marines August, as it is hard to say which choice will result in more casualties.
