Setting:Brighthammer 40,000/Space Marines (1st edition)

Space Marines also known as SPEES MARENSS!!! are the primary specialized heavy infantry of the Imperium of Man in the universe of BrightHammer40k. They are devoted soldiers/disciples of the Emperor of Man (tha Kewlest guy EVAH). They are dedicated to peace, understanding, and the further advancement in the knowledge and wisdom of the technical, scientific, and spiritual aspects of Humanity.

However not all Marine chapters are strictly either state deputized defenders of Imperium occupied worlds or its central religions. Many centuries after the defeat of Warp Chaos by the Emperor and his son Horus many Space Marine Chapters had slowly begun to separate from the main organized military body of the Imperium and the Adeptus orders primarily due to the now freedom from the terror of Chaos.

These Chapters evolved into what are now commonly known as "Mercenary Chapters". These independent chapters are primarily as their name indicates are soldiers for hire and of fortune hired to protect and go on special missions for clients of high status and wealth throughout the known galaxy.

Both Imperium and Mercenary Space Marines are dedicated not only to the protection of civilians and the completion of their tasked missions but to the spirit of HIGH ADVENTURE that the Brighthammer universe is legendary for.

The following article sections detail the Armor, Weapons, code of chivalry and listing of various Marine chapters.
