| − | The '''Twenty First Founding''' was the largest [[Founding]] of [[Space Marine]] [[Chapter]]s since the [[Second Founding]]. It took place shortly before the [[Age of Apostasy]], in [[M36]]. The focus of the Twenty First Founding was perfecting and removing deficiencies in flawed [[gene-seed]], and ultimately the production of a new Primarch-like being in project "Homo Sapiens Novus". The Founding itself ended when one of its projects sent a warp signal and alerted [[Fabius Bile]] to its existence. The Twenty First Founding is also known as the '''Cursed Founding''', because of the appalling bad luck that seems to dog the Chapters created. Worse still, some Chapters have developed genetic idiosyncrasies, mutations that strain the tolerance of the [[Inquisition]] and threaten the Chapter's survival. As a result the Chapters have gradually dwindled in size as their inability to raise and induct recruits means that battle casualties cannot be replaced.{{Cite This}}
