Thank you guys for showing so much interest to our chapter! Here is some lore: Overview The Siege Breakers, a Loyalist Second Founding Space Marine Chapter, is deeply rooted in the legacy of the Imperial Fists. They share the same gene-seed and primarch, Rogal Dorn, and their origin can be traced back to the Battle of the Iron Cage, a significant event that unfolded shortly after the Horus Heresy. Battle of the Iron Cage After the end of the Heresy, the Imperial Fists took it upon themselves to chase down the Traitor Legions into the Eye of Terror. Their Primarch, Rogal Dorn, was determined to avenge his father as he witnessed the Emperor's final moment, personally entombing the injured Master or Mankind on the Golden Throne. This vengeful doctrine was primarily focused on the Iron Warriors, the Legion's archenemy. Lost in their Zeal, the Imperial Fists fell into a trap. Perturabo, the Primarch of the Iron Warriors, constructed what he deemed the most fortified structure in the galaxy, the Eternal Fortress. This structure was built on the world of Sebastus IV, shaped to resemble the eight-pointed Star of Chaos. This place would become a tomb for many marines. The 71st Chapter of the Fists was crucial in allowing the Legion to enter the Fortress, clearing the path and detonating charges to topple the walls. Little did they know that entering the Fortress was playing right into Perturabo's hands. The trap, was sprung. What followed, were three consecutive solar weeks of non-stop combat. First, the bolter rounds ran out. Then, the fuel of the chainswords gave way. Suffering unprecedented casualties, Captain Relidan ordered the marines of the 71st Chapter to switch to combat knives. Blood flowed through the corridors of the accursed Fortress. All hope, seemed lost. Though the intervention was protested by the Imperial Fists, the Ultramarines came to aid their cousins, and together, the legions routed Perturabo and his lapdogs. As the final insult, the Iron Warriors did their best to deny recovery of the gene-seed from the fallen battle brothers. 400 Battle-Brothers were lost forever. Over a hundred of them belonged to the 71st Chapter, the first to break through the walls and amongst the last to retreat, shielding the rest of the Legion. After the battle concluded, Rogal Dorn changed his position on the Codex Astartes. It was decided that the Legion would divide itself into smaller forces, following the example of The Ultramarines and the Blood Angels. The Second Founding saw the Legion divided, giving birth to The Crimson Fists, The Soul Drinkers, The Black Templars, and one more brotherhood of the Adeptus Astartes, born from the three-hundred survivors of the 71st Chapter. Tasked with leading the newly formed brotherhood, Captain Relidan is said to have kneeled before his Primarch and is remembered proclaiming an oath of singular purpose. He would train his warriors to be relentless masters of assault, shaping them to become… The Siege Breakers.

Overview
The Siege Breakers, a Loyalist Second Founding Space Marine Chapter, is deeply rooted in the legacy of the Imperial Fists. They share the same gene-seed and primarch, Rogal Dorn, and their origin can be traced back to the Battle of the Iron Cage, a significant event that unfolded shortly after the Horus Heresy.

Chapter Recruitment
Unlike some chapters that recruit from a single world to sustain cultural cohesion, the Siege Breakers are more interested in finding the best warriors, and that can only be done with a wide enough pool.
