A Chapter from an unknown founding, the Astral Knights sacrificed their chapter to destroy the World Engine. This Necron weapon was a planet-sized spaceship that was devastating planets around their homeworld. The Astral Knights, along with Space Marines from the Ultramarines, Invaders, and Aurora Chapters took part. The battle against the World Engine was desperate, as every attempt to attack the Ship was defeated. The Necron's superior technology and weapons were unstoppable. They destroyed a third of an Imperial Navy Battlefleet before the Chapter Master of the Astral Knights decided to take his entire chapter and ram the World Engine with his battlebarge. Before the ship had impacted with the machine, the Astral Knights had deployed from Drop Pods onto the engine's surface. For 100 hours, they destroyed everything they came across, until only the Chapter Master and five others were left. They then made an attack on a vital command node, and with the Master's dying breath, he detonated melta-charges that disabled the World Engine's shields.

Avenging Sons
The Avenging Sons is a 19th Founding chapter from the world of Traekonnis Major.

Avenger
This chapter is an expert at stealth operations e.g. deep striking and ambushing enemies. The Avenger Chapter usually drops into the middle of the battle at a pivotal point, and leaves when the battle is over before the politics come into play. They often go behind enemy lines and cut off the enemy's supplies, thereby creating a diversion in which the main force can land and attack. They also perform a support role which is mainly through the use of Orbital Bombardment. They tend to avoid combat as they prefer to soften the enemy up before the main force arrives. This Chapter is curious about everything around them, and they have a good knowledge of Chaos and many other things like Tyranid nature. The Inquisition generally distrusts them due to their willingness to ally with the Eldar, Tau, and other 'xenos' races and for their knowledge of Chaos. They have uncovered many secrets of the Imperium most of which are stored in their chapter's library on the planet Fall. Their chapter has not been investigated nor destroyed by the Inquisition due to the usefulness of the information which they are able to provide to the Imperium concerning their enemies.

Flame Falcons
One of the cursed Space Marine chapters created during the Cursed 21st Founding. Although their earlier successes promised a great future for the chapter, they were almost completely wiped out by the Inquisition before a hundred years had passed.

The cause of the Inquisition's attack was the fact that during an engagement, members of the Chapter burst into flame. These Marines came to no harm, and believing the flames to be a gift from the Emperor, fought with a fierce savagery that won the day.

Their Primarch is mentioned as "Primarch Rubineck", possibly one of the unknown primarchs listed in the space marine codex. The removal of this chapter's name may be resultant of the content of the short story where at the end a chaos lord gains entrance to a training centre via the body of a failed space marine. Further canon disregards the use of the name primarch and goes on to state that the Chapter was all but annihilated fighting the Chaos Lord who manifested in their system. Only two companies, the Sixth and Tenth, remain at full strength.

As a result of this only the upper ranks may wear the badge.
