Editing MidHammer 40,000: SM Chapters (section)

==The Spiritual Lieges==
As faith in The Apotheosis of Roboute and Tarasha moved from Maccragge coping mechanism to organized religion of the Ultramar Diaspora, the High Lords were concerned about the sheer-fanatical devotion the Genesons of the The Primarch Roboute Gulliman had for their Primarch's ideals, as well as their clout within the Newly Forged "Aurelian Cult." As a gesture to the high lords of terra, fearing this transform into a second Lorgar, the Ultramarine's offered a compromise. 

*The Religious Leader Chapters of The Aurelian Cult would not be beholden to the Lord Gulliman, but instead to The Ministorum Fidei.
*The High Lords drafted a Regula of Codex Astartes for Religious Leaders. This Regula placed heavy restrictions on the Military Activities and Equipment of Ecclesiastic Chapters. 
*The Ecclesiastic Chapters were Not Permitted to ever step foot in Holy Terra.
*The Ecclesiastic Chapters were not permitted to exceed 1000 armored men.
*The Armed Astartes were confined to their holy seat.

Thus began the "Ecclesiarchs" the Spiritual Liege Chapters of the Holy Seats. These Chapters are restricted from the most advanced weapons, genetic modifications, and equipment used by other Astartes Chapters, and must instead rely on Equipment from the Crusade. Additionally these restrictions led to the rise of chapters greater dependence on the Ancillae and Fratre, Astartes that are not permitted armor or weapons.
