Reclaimers

The Reclaimers are one of the Loyalist Space Marine Chapters Founded as part of the Astartes Praeses - one of the 20 Chapters of Astartes mentioned in the ancient tome known as the Mythos Angelica Mortis that was created to defend the regions surrounding the Eye of Terror in the Segmentum Obscurus from the Forces of Chaos. The Reclaimers are of an unknown Founding and origin.

Notable Campaigns

 * Defence of Corania (Unknown.M41) – The Tyranids had attacked without warning, and every Guard regiment on the planet had been forced to resist ferociously for nearly a year before the navy and a couple of Comanpies apiece from both the Reclaimers and the Swords of the Emperor Chapters turned the tide.
 * Interitus Prime Incident (928.M41) – A Company under the command of Captain Gries was tasked with the investigation of a mysterious subterranean archeotech complex. Upon further investigation they soon realised that it was actually a Necron Tomb complex. As they were placing demolition charges to destroy the foul xenos, Commissar Ciaphas Cain burst forth unexpectedly from a warp portal, fleeing for his life from another Tomb complex. He was the only survivor as the Adeptus Mechanicus Explorator team he was attached to was entirely wiped out by the waking Necron.
 * Cleansing of Viridia (928-958.M41) - The Astartes made their first landing in Fidelis, at the palace of Governor DuPanya, losing no time in breaking the heretical siege lines which had kept the Emperor's anointed custodian of the planet confined and powerless to intervene directly in the constant turmoil of civil strife which had done so much to mar the fair face of Viridia. The cathedral, always a beacon of hope in those desperate times, and therefore under constant threat from the dissident elements, was liberated within the hour, as was the shrine of the Omnissiah, freeing the tech-priests to begin ministering to the city's wounded machine-spirits with the utmost dispatch. Perhaps the most desperate battles were those to eliminate the artillery batteries which the rebels had set up to prevent a mass landing of Imperial Guard troops, which, if left in place, would have taken a terrible toll in lives and resources. The crucial importance of this assignment can be deduced from the fact that the mission to remove one was led by Captain Gries of the the Reclaimers' expeditionary force and his personal guard, while the task of placing a beacon to guide the teleporting strike team which destroyed the other was entrusted to none other than Commissar Ciaphas Cain, accompanied by Colonel Mira DuPanya, the governor's youngest daughter and a formidable warrior in her own right. Both missions ended in unqualified success, with the complete destruction of the designated targets, although one was to have unexpected and serious consequences. DuPanya and Cain's reconnaissance en route to their destination had revealed the true nature of the enemy the Imperial forces were facing, and, for the first time, the full extent of the hideous conspiracy gnawing away at the fabric of their society became clear.
