To circumvent this, a handful of renegade elements have arisen organically to push the offensive front beyond the Devilshark owned line of demarcation. Most predominantly are the Astartes Ex Regio, the Frontier Warriors. Their origins date back to the initial disappearance of the Warmaster Jon-Frederíc Aristide. Only a select few Dragoons managed to actually follow their Primarch into the unknown to strike out against Chaos, but many took to pursuing him, albeit fruitlessly. These elements found themselves stranded and without support, deep in the north western expanse of the now enemy Imperium. Holding their ground, silently, it wouldn't be until a Corsair infiltration group found them decades later. 

These Corsairs were experimenting with how far their technically legal Rogue Trader writs would take them into Imperial space, gleefully discovering that overzealous Ecclesiastical misinformation campaigns robbed many isolated systems of the knowledge that there were non-Imperial Space Marines at all, and these ignorants wouldn't dare deny a Rogue Trader, much less an Astartes one. The Dragoons had made use of this as well, dwelling temporarily in feudal and dead worlds to dodge suspicion. Joining forces they instead sought to form a covert beachhead in the Imperium, using human militiamen, doctored Writs of Trade, and fabricated Chapters to operate deep in enemy territory. Here they join the Inquisition and the Sigilites in the invisible dance of power, control, and espionage in the galaxy, fighting secret wars on behalf of the Union.
