	- Tech Heresy: As a direct result of their lack of contact with, and lack of ties with the Mechanicus, the Knights Inductor were forced to turn to innovation for solving some of their more critical problems. While acceptable before reestablishing contact, they continued to do so long after reuniting with the Mechanicus and rumor has it that some of their Techmarines have even suggested that it is the AdMech who should be serving them instead. Needless to say that such views are considered tech Heresy by the Mechanicus, and has permanently soiled any and all chance for the Knights to obtain the technology that was regained in their absence from realspace. Now the Mechanicus sees them as a direct threat to mankind, and the feeling is mutual. The Inquisition and its more radical elements tends to ignore the Knights for this; given their inherent usefulness to Deathwatch, but most of them cannot stand to fight alongside the knights for it as well.		- Tech Heresy: As a direct result of their lack of contact with, and lack of ties with the Mechanicus, the Knights Inductor were forced to turn to innovation for solving some of their more critical problems.

	**As a result of their continued tech heresy, the Adeptus Mechanicus has by large and far cut off further support from the Knights Inductor, banning them from the latest technologies and STC's being recovered that all other Chapters enjoy. While the Knights Inductor have been largely self-sufficient thanks to their isolation, this put immense pressure on the chapter in order to maintain operational equipment while still dealing with their lack of updated equipment or cobble together their own "improved" versions through trial and error.		**As a result of their continued tech heresy, the Adeptus Mechanicus has by large and far cut off further support from the Knights Inductor, banning them from the latest technologies and STC's being recovered that all other Chapters enjoy.

	*- No Grav-Weaponry: As a chapter that has been inactive for a great length of time, the Knights Inductor do not possess some of the more recently acquired STCs in widespread use. As of M40:989, the Knights have been unable to acquire the technology from the Mechanicus(Who are in turn quite weary of the Knights).

	*- No Vanguard Veteran squads: An overt emphasis on ranged combat within the Chapter at the expense of close combat led to the natural growth of Sternguard Veteran squads, but also a predictable decline in Vanguard Veterans. The Chapter can no longer field full squads of these hardened and bloodied close combat warriors, and they have been relegated to instructors of the uprising Incursion squads. Time will tell if this focus will prove helpful or harmful.		*- No Vanguard Veteran squads: An overt emphasis on ranged combat within the Chapter at the expense of close combat led to the natural growth of Sternguard Veteran squads, but also a predictable decline in Vanguard Veterans.

The exact origin of their gene-seed is shrouded in mystery as most records have become corrupted or simply lost, even within the Knights Inductor Chapter Archives. All that is known is that the Magos Biologis that engineered them sought to create a new Chapter that would not be as vulnerable to the wiles of the Ruinous Powers as those that came before them. While this was successful, they soon demonstrated an unusual lack of ferocity in battle and an unhealthy fixation on preserving what they considered to be innocent lives. Hypnotherapy regimens designed to address these issues proved to be ineffective.

	In older times, the 21st founding created a great number of flawed chapters.

These marines were corrupted and twisted in spirit by a horrible addition to their gene-seed, leaving many of them with flayed souls.

They are openly known as Tech Heretics, and as such are often found warring with groups that disagree with them.

	*- ~~Knight Themed~~
	*- Absolute hatred of Chaos
	*- Semi-Codex Compliant: The Knights Inductor favor fire-teams of between 6 and 12 marines, whereby On very rare occasions, the Knights may deploy with fire-teams of 24 marines, but these occasions are few and far between. Such situations are usually battles where the knights are expecting extreme casualties otherwise. In such squads 5 marines carry standard bolters, and the 6th brings either a special weapon, or a heavy weapon. Outside of battles, the chapter remains organized into 10 companies of 100 marines each, as stated in the Codex Astartes.		*- Semi-Codex Compliant: The Knights Inductor favor fire-teams of between 6 and 12 marines, whereby On very rare occasions, the Knights may deploy with fire-teams of 24 marines, but these occasions are few and far between.

It shows fairly accurately their relationship with the Imperium at Large, which is highly mixed and situational. When we get around to writing a Timeline for the chapter, it should heavily involve this relationship, and should show a history of battles with all groups.

	:: '''6th Company, Silent Hands''': The 6th Company of the Knights Inductor is entirely unique in it's purpose. Rather than maintain an organization of standard marines, this company is formed exclusively of specialized Sternguard Veterans called "The Silent Hands". These marines are led by Captain Xavion, and they specialize exclusively in strategic action; taking the lives of enemy commanders after long stealth deployments. This is also the only company besides the 10th that maintains Scout Marines within it's ranks.		:: '''6th Company, Silent Hands''': The 6th Company of the Knights Inductor is entirely unique in it's purpose.

	:: '''10th Company, The Future of the Chapter''': Like some other Chapters, the Knights Inductors take advantage of a bloated 10th company in order to bolster their ranks due to training difficulties, even going as far as to "temporarily" recruit from Astra Militarum regiments and Scholas that they have close relationships with. It is primarily these practices that ensure the Knights maintain a sizable force even in strenuous times.		:: '''10th Company, The Future of the Chapter''': Like some other Chapters, the Knights Inductors take advantage of a bloated 10th company in order to bolster their ranks due to training difficulties, even going as far as to "temporarily" recruit from Astra Militarum regiments and Scholas that they have close relationships with.

	*- Numbers(As of M40:989), ~600 Marines. The Chapter lost a great many marines due to warp storms and travel, but with medical innovation and greatly increased recruitment rates managed to prosper once all immediate threats were dealt with. When the Knights first emerged out of the Warp Storms in Aprior, they had a total of 1500 marines. While considerable losses to combat with the Black Templars, Eldar, and Necrons have been recovered for the most part, the infamous "Anti-Chaos Crusade Deal" with the Inquisition that guaranteed the Knights Inductor amnesty from being Excommunicate Traitoris dealt by far the biggest blow to the Chapter.		*- Numbers(As of M40:989), ~600 Marines.

	:: When it comes to the Inquisition, the Knights have a varied but somewhat close relationship with the dark organization, and one which is not entirely positive to the Chapter. The Knights Inductor have by far more support from radical Inquisitors than the predominantly puritanical ones, the latter of which outright despise the Knights Inductors as abominations in faith and practice.		:: When it comes to the Inquisition, the Knights have a varied but somewhat close relationship with the dark organization, and one which is not entirely positive to the Chapter. The Knights Inductor have by far more support from radical Inquisitors than the predominantly puritanical ones, the latter of which outright despise the Knights Inductors as abominations in faith and practice. Even the former tolerates them only as long as they remain useful- should they ever begin to falter against their foes, all but the most extreme radicals within the Inquisition would abandon them.

	:: In a short summary, the majority of the Inquisition views the Knights Inductor as a more expendable alternative to the Grey Knights, while being more palatable and useful in larger battles than Culexus Assassins. For situations that require an anti-psychic presence or a cleansing of Chaos that may be uniquely difficult for Grey Knights to deal with or otherwise beneath their notice, the Inquisition tends to discreetly order the Knights Inductor to put together a Nullification Task Force to send to the conflict, or to loan Silencers to a Deathwatch team. Chapter Master Zakis Randi never once refuses these requests, no matter how difficult, trivial or absurd, in fear of revocation of their amnesty.		:: In a short summary, the majority of the Inquisition views the Knights Inductor as a more expendable alternative to the Grey Knights, while being more palatable and useful in larger battles than Culexus Assassins.
