Editing MidHammer 40,000: SM Chapters (section)

====Rules for Post First Founding Chapters====
The Codex provides the provisions under which a group of Astartes can apply for "Chaptership." Should an aspiring chapter-master wish to create an independent chapter, he must meet the following provisions:
*Permission from your Primarch (or Legionary Commander)
*Sponsorship from at least 10 other Chapter Masters,
*Endorsement of good character by no less than three of your fellow legionaries of equal or greater status,
*An endorsement of gene-seed health by the Ordo Biologius.
*Have strength of no less than 150 Astartes, but no greater than 500
*Among these 150, no less than 10 Librarians and 10 Apothecaries
*Other requirements based on the Index upon which your chapter is founded under (those founded under Regula Magnus for instance, have additional regulations placed on Psykers)

If all 6 of these provisions are met, then the Rules and Chapter can be approved by a Majority of The High Lords of Terra and the Approval of 3 Ultramar Princes (Emperor can Veto) If any of these provisions are lacking, then either the Emperor's approval or a Unanimous Vote of The High Lords is required.
