Marines Errant

Overview
The Marines Errant are a fleet-based Space Marine Chapter of unknown origin. The Chapter was well named, for they have traveled far and wide during their distinguished history.

Chapter History
The Marines Errant served the Empire faithfully along the fringes of galactic space. The chapter served in the "Second Outer Galactic Expeditionary Force".

Charadon Crusade
In the year 698 of the 41st Millennium the Marines Errant Chapter was part of a combined Space Marine expeditionary force led by Marneus Calgar. The force consisted of the Marines Errant, Angels of Absolution, Lamenters, Silver Skulls, and the Ultramarines. During the heroic seven year crusade, the force inflicted a series of major defeats on the Ork Empire of Charadon.

Badab War
During the Badab War, in the year 904 of the 41st Millennium, the Marines Errant were recalled by the Emperor from the Eastern Galactic Fringe to reinforce the Fire Hawks Chapter. However, they soon found themselves fully engaged in a mission of protecting Imperial ships in transit.

Battle of Vilamus
Near the end of the 41st Millennium, Huron Blackheart of the Red Corsairs hatched a plan to steal large amounts of marine gene-seed. The Marines Errant's fortress-monastery was targeted due to its relatively small garrison size. This attack led to the loss of nearly all of the Marines Errant chapter's stockpile of precious genetic material.
