Someone at GW noticed after about 20 years of playing space marines, that virtually no chapter was specialised in actual boarding operations, one of the major duties of a real life marine.
Thus, the Marines Errant fill that gap quite nicely and despite being successors of the Noble Ultramarines are NOT Mary Sues and have a quite interesting storyline.
History
Decreed at their founding to ‘forever quest and give battle, knowing no home but the grace of the Emperor’s mercy’, the Marines Errant are a fleet based Chapter whose skills in boarding actions and rapid deployment from orbiting void craft are justly celebrated. Their close links to the Rogue Trader family of Ecale have only bolstered their expertise in the field of void warfare, and have no doubt helped to keep the vast fleet maintained by the Chapter space-worthy and the terror of the Emperor’s foes.
From the very beginning, the intent of the Marines Errant was that they would engage in endless crusades, cleansing the cosmos of the filth that might offend the Emperor's nose. Because of this, the Chapter designed its organisational scheme around independent companies. During its existence, the Marines Errant Chapter has never established a formal fortress monastery nor has it designated a specific homeworld. Though it did settle the world of Vilamus to leave themselves a storage facility for precious gene-seed, rather than carrying it with them on the fleets where it could be destroyed or lost.
The Badab War & Huron Blackheart
The Marines Errant was summoned to the Badab sector to support the Fire Hawks as part of a policing action against the upstart Astral Claws chapter. Due to the hot-headed nature of the Fire Hawks however, the Marines Errant would be drawn into heavy conflict, taking severe damage before the war actually took place.
