History of the Chapter
- The Basilisks are a chapter of Loyalist Space Marines in Warhammer 40,000.
- The Basilisks' were founded in the 39th Millennium, in response to a foreseen rising threat from Eldar forces. (Later it was theorized that the vision was of this so-called God "Ynnari" the Eldar are touting about the galaxy).
- The chapter is of unknown gene-seed, but the chapter claims to be progeny of the Salamanders.
- Perhaps inspired by the reputation of their supposed Progenitors, the Basilisks make great efforts to leave none behind who may survive to fight again.
