Lost Chapters are Space Marine Chapters that have ceased to exist. Some were annihilated in one sudden strike, while others slowly sustained too many casualties to survive on the long run, being incapable to replenish their loses fast enough because of some reason. Information about these chapters is often lost during the millenia and all-too scarce.

They should not to be confused with the Renegade Chapters, who are deemed Excommunicate Traitoris by the Imperium. Renegade chapters still exist but have gone rogue, breaking their vows of loyalty towards the Imperium. Some of them are simple traitors, fallen to Chaos. Others are idealistic rebels who rejected the all-too oppressive Imperial authority for some reason.
