The New Order is a Space Marine chapter settled out in the Koronus Expanse. The secretive and quiet chapter is actually comprised of 2 smaller chapters which all held similar views: the Wolves of the Emperor, a bullheaded, aggressive chapter derived from Black Templars who believe the Imperium is not following the Emperor's plan (thought these plans were placed on the back burning for a few millennia); the Dragonkin, a 22nd Founding chapter with the unnatural gift of fire-breathing and hardened scales of bone. These reject chapters use each others abilities to reunite the Imperium under the original intent of the Emperor (in an extremely biased way that causes Rage and Murder amoung the general populace).
Fluff
Murky Pasts
From the dawn of their creation, the New Order has kept their secrets well kept, from their origin to their true intentions. Inquisitors have delved deep into the Vaults on Terra to find any trace of the chapter but none have come up with substantial information. The chapter founder, Michae Ishmaeus, ensured no one would ever discover how they came to be by hiding a single vault in the Koronus Expanse and the New Order has hunted for the vaunted vault since its existance was newly discovered.
Deadly Bargains
Patriarch (Chapter Master) of the New Order Taihkromn Ryus and his chapter hold a zealous hatred for the forces of Chaos. Upon one humiliating crusade against the dark forces of Chaos, Ryus heard from one of the dark god Malal's servants. His nature was quick to expel the thoughts and voices, but the daemon of Malal knew as such and played his cards quick, "What if I told you, mighty Astartes, how to destroy Chaos?" Ryus became entrigued immediately and heard out the daemon's promise, "Fight with my power, and lay waste to my enemies." He ecstatically agreed and his Marines quickly redeemed the Chapter's honour, claiming the Emperor favored him at last, but all of this at a cost: When fighting the Ruinous Powers, the Patriarch would become enraged and filled with the might of a daemon, whom was quick and ready to smite every single daemon who stood in his way. He would cast off his self preservation and threw himself into overwhelming odds to come out victorious, but grieviously wounded. One particular time, he charged a Blood Thirster alone and had his left arm and part of his chest cleaved off by the greater daemon before caving in its thick skull with his power fist.
A Brother Betrayed
At the time, the New Order's bulk was made of the Wolves of the Emperor; however, a Dragonkin had risen through the ranks and became the captain of the 1st company. This marine's name was Sylus. He was a valiant soldier without peer and a blademaster that could rival the best Khornate warriors. He soon became a close friend in the chapter to Ryus and had it utmost respect and trust. That is, until Tzeench, disguised as the Emperor, told Sylus in the dream that his Patriarch was in a pact with a Chaos God. The zealous 1st Captain lead his company to assassinate the foul Ryus. But before they could confront the Patriarch, the Architect of Fate lead the 1st Company's Strike cruiser right into a daemon world of Nurgle. All but the Captain were killed and Sylus was brought to his knees before a Great Unclean One. It was there that he knew there was no Emperor, no Greater being, just the Lords of Chaos. He denouced the Corpse God and embraced Nurgle, having all of his former battle brothers brought back to life for a new purpose: to bring death to the New Order.
Later, Sylus, now Siliac, returned to Kattifrakk and raided the gene-seed vaults, murdering nearly all of the 10th company, and stealing a ton of other wargear in the process while the other companies were away. Upon returning, Patriarch Ryus flew into a fit of rage and followed Siliac's "bread crumb trail to his lair with a small contingent of the First company. Siliac, having picked up a few tricks from his Daemon buddies, summoned legions of Nurgle minions to destroy the Patriarch. Knowing Ryus would dissolve into his fit of rage, Siliac left Ryus to fight off his pawns. Ryus supposedly died on that planet with over half of the First company.
Extremists
The New Order, like their patron chapter, are extreme in their methods. Entire planets have been annihilated for even showing the slightest amount of corruption and/or taint. They have battled other Chapters for showing signs of taint. Certain Inquisitors will use this chapter as a lap dog for their dogmatic loyalty and brutal mannerisms. They will stop at nothing to see the Emperor as God of all the Galaxy and Ruler of all races.
Organisation
- "House of Blades", 1st Company, Patriarch's Honour Guard.
- "Broadsword", 2nd Company, some times known as Brothers of Suicide by the 3rd Company because of their "No guts, no glory" behaviours
- "Rapier", 3rd Company, known to have the loudest battle cry in the Chapter and known to have the most Dreadnaughts in the Chapter
- "Dragon's Maw", 4th Company, entirely made of Dragonkin Marines, this chapter employs enough flamers to rival that of the Salamanders.
- "Trial Survivors", 10th company, rigourous trial quickly and effectively train neophytes into marines in very short time.
Each Company is designed to be able to wage a crusade without requiring back up from from other Companies. Each has 3 Captains and are suited for any encounter. The First and Tenth Company is the only exception to these. The First Company is made of the best blademasters of the chapter, as tradition goes. This chapter is split between each of the other, bar the Tenth, to provide elite HQ Protection and Priority target hunters.
