Astartes Salvator

The Astartes Salvator are a chapter of Astartes specializing in hostage rescue, close protection and counterinsurgency work.

Founded after the Beheading, the Salvator were drawn from Raven Guard gene-stock and ordered into being by Agnathio himself, as to prevent such a event from ever happening again. Thus, the Salvator are close to the High Lords and often do their bidding- including their dirty work.

History

WIP

The Beheading rocked the Imperium to the core. A hundred year anarch ensued in it's wake, a century of disorder, heresy and slaughter. Having finally had enough of this blatant and clear failure in the Adeptus Terra, Agnathio, the current Chapter Master of the Ultramarines, gathered 50 of his fellows and set a course for Holy Terra.

Once the Adeptus Terra was reinstated. Agnathio and the newly instated High Lords worked closely together to prevent another Beheading from happening.

They decided on raising a specialized chapter, with the mission of protecting the Imperium, it's people, and their leaders. Seeing the Raven Guard as ideal for the task, the High Lords took existing gene stock, along wihand-picked Raven Guard Veterans and raised a new chapter based on the frozen dwarf planet of Eris

The chapter was named the Astartes Salvator - literally Astartes Rescuers and subjected to intense live-fire training from the Raven Guard and selected Deathwatch veterans. These included complex simulated hab-block breach and clears, simulated hostage rescues, and intense simulated urban combat situations.

Once this harsh trial was complete, the hardened chapter took part in the subsequent suppression of rebellion on many worlds, using their skills at irregular urban warfare to get a leg up on the for in these conflicts.
