Hey there, new to this part of the forum, so here goes:
Chapter: Omega Guard
Location: Homeworld - Jmiga Minoris, Jmiga Sector, Segmentum Tempestus
Current Strength: 400 pt Combat Patrol
Background: Unknown. Adeptus Mechanicus Genetors have determined their gene-seed is of Dornian (Imperial Fist) decent.
Heroes: Veteran Sergeant Canum (Tyranic Wars Veteran, he never seems to die), Captain Relli (Commander, Second Strike Force, my old force's champion, I decided to promote him), Old One Typherion (Relli's predecessor, my old force commander, who got into one too many fights with Chaos Lords)
History: The Chapter was not founded in the traditional sense, but more found when their Fortress Monastery, the Destiny's Guardian, tumbed out of the Warp and crashed into the Jmiga Minoris, the moon of Jmiga Primus. Investigations revealed that, while the crew servitors had long stopped functioning and the ship's data banks had been wiped clean, the Space Marines within had entered hibernation, and with the help of the Wolf Priests from the Space Wolves Chapter (whos homeworld of Fenris was only several hundred light years away), nearly 700 marines were eventually revived. None, however, had any idea how their monastary had come to be where it was, or what had happened to it.
With the aid of the a nearby forge world, the Chapter, now known as the Omega Guard, were gradually re-equipped with the equipment a Chapter should have. It was a long process, but the Omega Guard were guided by the Space Wolves, who considered the new chapter allies and good friends.
A hundred years into their existence, a call from the world of Armegeddon was sent out, and a force of 250 Omega Guard, equipped with what ships and weapons they had, left with the Space Wolves to defend Armageddon from the horde of Angron. During that war they conducted themselves with honor and integrity, re-learning the ways of war quickly, and earning the praise of many experienced Chapter Masters.
The eagerness to serve the Imperium after a long absence has meant that the Chapter has not waited to be fully re-equipped before sending out troops to fight, instead waiting until a certain amount of equipment had been supplied, and then sending out a force of marines with it. As a result, the Chapter is divided into seven Strike Forces, (previously there had been eight, but all mentions of the Eighth Strike Force have been removed from Chapter records), each fighting in different areas of the Imperium. However, they still maintain an alligence with Jmiga (their primary source of recruits, and the location of their Fortress Monastery), and their friendship with the Space Wolves chapter.
