Chapter History

Notable Campaigns

• Bennghil VII Campaign (Unknown Date.M42) - With the aid of the Space Wolves, the Obsidian Jaguars defeated a force of Chaos Space Marines on Bennghil VII.
• Defence of Ceibhal (Unknown Date.M42) - During the Psychic Awakening, the Chapter's fortress-monastery, "the Sabre," on their homeworld of Ceibhal, came under assault by a vast horde of Goff klan Orks while most of the Space Marines were off-world on campaign. The call for them to return was sent out, but until that time Captain Meznan commanded the Chapter's forces in the defence of their homeworld. Unless the absent battle-brothers returned, however, Ceibhal was likely to fall to the assault by greenskins of the Goffs clan. In truth, by the time a Space Wolves strike force led by the Wolf Lord Erik Morkai finally arrived, Ceibhal had been claimed by the Orks. The Obsidian Jaguars fleet defending Ceibhal had also been destroyed, but Morkai still hoped to be able to recover the Chapter's gene-seed from their fortress-monastery. He infiltrated the Sabre with a strike force of his fellow Space Wolves, but it had been desecrated, its walls decorated with the corpses of the Obsidian Jaguars Astartes who had died defending it. Even worse, Morkai's warriors were only able to recover a small portion of the Obsidian Jaguars' gene-seed, as most of it had been destroyed or made unusable by the Orks. With little more to do, the Wolf Lord's strike force made their way off-world shortly before they activated explosives that destroyed the Sabre.

Chapter Homeworld

The Obsidian Jaguars called the Jungle World of Ceibhal home. Ceibhal is covered in trees called "steelpalms" whose wood is immensely strong.

Ceibhal is currently occupied by the Orks who claimed it from the Obsidian Jaguars defending their fortress-monastery.
