Editing The Sovereign's Appraisal (section)

===Pre-Excommunication===

The Sovereign's Appraisal was originally founded under the title of the Electis Imperatoris, roughly translated to The Emperor's Chosen, to combat and eradicate the [[Eldar]] in a glorious crusade for the Imperium. For such a monumental task, it was decided that only gene-seeds from the purist chapter could be used, and it was for this reason that their Progenitors were the Ultramarines. Founded in the 40th Millenium during about the time of the 25th Founding, they were (hilariously) discovered to be an extremely flawed chapter upon implantation. Their Occulobe are oversensitive, meaning that while they are excellent night and low-light fighters, daytime combat operations are usually impossible, if not exceedingly difficult. In a twist of irony, their Oolitic Kidney secretes in a way that causes them to have light purple skin, making them appear slightly corrupted in form, similar to Chaos Cultists. Finally, they lack two functioning zygotes; the Neuroglottis, which heightens their senses and allows for the testing of poisons, and the Mucranoid, which allowed them to sweat a protective layer to heat, cold, and even the vacuum of [[Indrick Boreale|Spehss]].

Ironically, they were determined to be a fleet-based chapter, their ships designed with all manner of supplies necessary to survive and function with very little need to resupply; determined by the High Lords of Terra to be the "Perfect System" from which they could fight the Eldar upon their Craft and Exodite Worlds. On the upside, they were also given a lot of uncommon wargear like [[Plasma Gun]]s and [[Meltagun]]s, and the tools necessary for their [[Techmarine]]s to modify their wargear as needed. In addition to this, their adherence to the [[Codex Astartes]] is vastly different from that of their Progenitors, as they see it for what it should be; a set of helpful guidelines and tactics that still require actual brains to not be completely fucked over during every engagement. For this reason, they adhere to a surprisingly large amount of the Codex in certain aspects of demeanor. The most notable one, both pre and post excommunication, is that they Uphold the Honor of the Emperor above all things, though they display a surprising amount of common sense with not making their presence known to everything in the sector as soon as they arrive. Other, much more combat-indoctrinated demeanor are to See, But Not Be Seen, to be Swift as the Wind, and to be Brothers in Battle. What this essentially means is to be fast, stealthy, and to be bros with their fellow Astartes, though they flex this somewhat; all human life is precious to them, as, after all, Life is the Emperor's currency, and must therefore be spent well. For this reason, since they honor He Upon His Throne so much, they consider all human life to be precious; from the lowest of Guardsman to their fellow Battle-Brothers, and will often put themselves in danger in order to protect the Imperium's citizenry.

Speaking of combat doctrine, as stated in the above paragraph, they primarily employ stealth tactics in conjunction with an all-out armored assault. All while being as fast as super-humanly possible. If this sounds like it could be a problem, Pre-Excommunication it was; they made extensive use of Assault Bikes and teleporters, thinking them to be both [[FAIL|able to outrun the Eldar versions]] and [[Derp|not dangerous at all]] respectively. So that whole 'using their brains' part of the Codex was apparently brushed aside in some places, making them almost as bad as their progenitors. At the very least, they had and continue to have the brains to [[Reasonable Marines|employ camouflage]] to allow marines a modicum of planning troop and vehicle movements, both with their Scouts and Tactical Marines, before steamrolling the enemy with the usual lineup of vehicles, with previously mentioned bikes and [[Land Speeder]]s being the forward units to harass and disorganize. Because of this, the slow-moving Devastators are non-existent, instead being deployed as vehicle gunners, as nearly every vehicle the chapter has been mounted with as many pintle-mounted weapons as possible, usually to the point of [[Derp|mounting them in places where the marines would have to stand on top of their vehicles, unprotected.]]

In addition, one major 'flaw' of their isolationist nature and near-constant combat with the Eldar was the eventual adoption of a Chapter Cult, taking what bits and pieces of Eldar Lore and tactics that they had observed and applying it to their ways of combat and life. Originally this was done in the name of knowing the alien so that they may be more knowledgeable on ways to outmaneuver and kill it, but as time went on, they began to do it out of spite. Whether said spite is directed towards the Eldar they fight or the Ultramarines is unknown.

Because of all of this differentiating from the Codex and the near-heretical methods they've undertaken, the Ultrasmurfs openly shunned them for being impure and looking the part of [[Warp]] [[Daemons]], staining their [[Matt Ward|glorious image]]. This would eventually lead to their loathing of their Progenitor, as well as be one of many reasons they were later declared ''Excommunicate Traitoris'' and hunted down, mostly by the Ultramarines themselves. The major reason, however, is that their own willingness to help others would be their downfall by the will of a [[Tzeentch|certain dick]] pushing another [[Slaanesh|certain dick]] of a [[Rape|different nature]] to try and expand his followers.
