	The Sable Swords participated in the Crusades to recover the imperial territories lost during The War of The Beast. Just a hundred years later, the Sable Swords were considered worthy enough to be one of the two chapters (the other being the Halo Bretheren) to accompany the [[Imperial Fists]] to Terra and remove the mad [[The Beheading\|Vangorich]] from power.

	As Lord Commander [[Maximus Thane]] believed his personal guilt over Vangorich's rise had compromised his decision making, leadership of the Astartes strike force fell to the Sable Swords chapter master Qublicus Amar. Problematically, Thane found Amar and the Sable Swords Captain Ethratan too deferential.

	GW seems to have attempted to retcon continuity errors, which also plague the [[Star Phantoms]]. Said to have been founded during the Sentinel Founding in M38 (according to [[Forge World]]'s [[Imperial Armour]] and GW's Space Marines 5th ed), the Star Phantoms nevertheless appear in [[Black Library]] fiction about the [[Flesh Tearers]] set in M31.

	Interestingly, the [[FFG]] Deathwatch RPG mentions that the [[Fire Angels]] were founded in M40 (''Honour the Chapter'' supplement), but apparently not the first chapter to bear that name or their heraldry. Since both the name and heraldry are reused, it is possible that the Imperium honours certain lost chapters by maintaining their symbols and traditions etc. The original Sable Swords did help take down Vangorich. The chapter master Qublicus Amar personally led the Sable Swords contingent, and originally in command of the Astartes strike force before falling in battle.

	That the second Sable Swords could have been a nod to the original might be possibly confirmed in ''Obsidian'', but the online reviewer does not give the specifics, and the anthology is not worth getting just to verify lore that should have been made damn well obvious to begin with in the core fluff pieces.

	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 ~~remaning~~ 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.

	In an anticlimatic turn of events, Amar was the first Astartes to fall in battle (implied to be the work of a [[Vindicare]] assassin) and Thane had to assume leadership of the mission. While Thane was the [[plot armor\|lone survivor]] of the hundred Astartes (including the Sable Swords) who assaulted Vangorich at the [[Eversor]] temple, the battle outside was more straightforward. Altogether, a hundred Astartes survived the mission, including presumably members of the Sable Swords.

	The Sable Swords chapter was eventually lost to the Imperium sometime before 926.M41. Apparently, the old fluff had them losing over eight-hundred marines during the battle, possibly to the point of irreversible decline. In contrast, the new fluff has the Astartes strike force at four hundred marines: two companies of the Fists, and one each from the Sable Swords and the Halo Bretheren. In any case, it is clear that the original chapter was lost by M41.		The Sable Swords chapter was eventually lost to the Imperium sometime before 926.M41.
