Basically what you'd get if Black Templars followed the Codex more thoroughly.
History
Counted amongst the Astartes Praeses despite their homeworld being located in the Segmentum Solar (in other words: no-where near the Eye of Terror) Their purpose is to defend the route that Abaddon and his allies are expected to take on their path to Terra.
This duty is said to take up much of the Chapter's time, otherwise they would probably be crusading across the galaxy in a similar manner to the Black Templars as it is said that the two chapters have a very similar temperament. (in fact, they use the same tactics according to the RPG)
Despite this supposedly heavy duty; they still only managed to muster three companies for the 13th Black Crusade and even contributed a squad to the Damocles Crusade on the other side of the galaxy.
Tactics
As mentioned before, the RPG indicates that while they mirror the Imperial Fists in organisation and their affinity with siege-craft, their actual tactics are much more similar to the Black Templars.
They have been noted for the uncompromising methods, which include the total devastation on enemy forces using overwhelming force. However, the chapter takes their concept of cleanse and burn very seriously, to the point that Imperial commanders are loathe to call on the Subjugators for support as once the Subjugators have completed their task they also have a tendency to purge those worlds afterwards, obliterating infrastructure and resources if only to make certain that there is nothing that the enemy would ever return to claim.
