Editing Sable Swords (section)

===Second Incarnation===
[[File:Sable_Swords_Battle_Brother.jpg|thumb|345px|right|One of the only fucking pictures of these guys on the internet]]
In the later half of M41, notorious [[Necron]] Tet Guevara hijacked [[World Engine|an entire fucking planet]] and started driving it around the Vidar Subsector like a sports car, hit and running a few agri worlds here and there. The Imperium decided to shut Guevara's murderous rampage before it got out of hand, ordering the local sector fleet as well as 15 Space Marine chapters including the aforementioned [[Ultramarines]] and [[Astral Knights]] to get right on that.

Unfortunately, the task force ran into a little problem when it turned out that a protective shield prevented the World Engine from being damaged. Luckily, the Astral Knights were on hand to save the day, and long story short they [[awesome| rammed their battle-barge into the shield and drop podded in to kick some Necron ass]]. Almost the entire chapter was destroyed by this incredible act of bravery, and a new chapter had to be founded to fill the void left by the Astral Knights. The resulting Sable Swords took over the old Fortress Monastery of the Astral Knights on Obsidia, and the ownership of said planet.

====Still badass====
Upon arriving in Obsidia to take over from the Astral Knights, the second iteration of the Sable Swords were confronted by the last surviving members of the now 'fallen' chapter. The Sable Swords 1st Company Captain Daegan [[awesome|faced down]] the Astral Knights Dreadnought, Brother Thade, who was understandably miffed at his chapter being given up for dead by the Imperium. Worse, the Knights were to be dispossessed in favour of a new, yet untested chapter.

Eventually, Daegan convinced the remaining Knights to go out in a blaze of glory, not unlike Amhrad and his badasses. Daegan: "Take a ship from here and ply the stars as the Astral Knights once did, before they set down roots in stone and iron...Fight on in the Emperor's name until you can fight no more, and when that day comes, know that in death your duty has ended."

Not long after their founding, the Sable Swords have proved themselves worthy of their illustrious forebears. Their honours include a series of decisive victories over the [[Tau]] Empire, liberating Augura, a planet which had been an important strategic point for Tau forces during their Third Sphere Expansion.

The Sable Swords have continued the proud traditions of their Astral Knight predecessors, facing the Necrons on the tomb world of Eldritch, and carrying out an exterminatus.

The Sable Swords bailed out the [[Mechanicus]] when they were assaulted by a [[Ork]] Waaagh! on Rogue's Spire.

A Sable Swords company led by Captain Daegan helped defend the Forge Word Vondrak Prime from Hive Fleet Hydra, fighting the [[Tyranids]] alongside the Imperial Knights of Houses Cadmus and Hawkshroud.

====Bros with the Novamarines====
When the [[Eldar|Space Elves]] started acting up on Larical's Folly, the Sable Swords had to go deal with that. Naturally, they took their entire chapter with them to fight a mid-level threat from a dying race, leaving Obisidia virtually undefended except for the local PDF (who famously can't defend shit). This leaves Obisidia open to attack from a [[grimdark|horde of Chaos mutants]].

The Sable Swords don't receive word of the attack in time to turn around and defend Obsidia, so they prepare to watch as their home world and her people are literally consumed by the invaders. But, due to a stroke of uncharacteristically good fortune, the [[Novamarines]] happen to be nearby and intervene just in time, saving Obsidia. Out of extreme gratitude to the saviours of their homeworld, the Sable Swords swore an oath of eternal debt.

====The saga of Captain Noiran====
Once again finding themselves fighting the Eldar, which they seem to do a lot (despite being known for their extreme hatred of the [[Tau|Weaboo Space Communists]]), the Sable Swords track a group of mildly annoying [[Dark Eldar|Eldar space pirates]] to the Augran Nebula. While ultimately successful, the task force ends up losing a key member. Captain Noiran, the leader of the task force gets all turned around somewhere in the Nebula and gets kidnapped by the pointy eared bastards, who make it known that the Captain is alive and well. To this day, the Sable Swords continue to search for the lost Captain, who the rest of the galaxy assumes is dead but [[Librarian|Codificier]] Sundic insists is totally alive somewhere out there.
