History
The Sons of the Phoenix were among the Primaris Space Marine Chapters created during the Ultima Founding, at the direct order of Roboute Guilliman, and were created during the Indomitus Crusade. Faithful to the Emperor and ritualistic in their battle cant, the Sons of the Phoenix pride themselves on plunging into the flames of battle. They are constantly on holy crusades, which are led by their Chaplains and pave the way for the Imperial Creed to spread to numerous worlds. Because of this, the Chapter's crusades are often followed by many Adeptus Ministorum Priests and pilgrims.[1]
Sometime after their Founding, the Sons of the Phoenix were attacked by Thousand Sons Warbands, from the Cult of Change. During these attacks several members of the Chapter are taken captive by the Warbands, in order to be used as specimens in the Thousand Sons' arcane experiments.[2]
