History
In M42, the Chapter's Homeworld was invaded by overwhelming number of Hive Fleet Ouroboris Bio-ships. A plea for aid was sent out, which was answered by the Imperial Fists, who rushed to aid a fellow Chapter born of their Primarch Dorn. However by the time their fleet arrived, the Defenders Obscurus had been nearly destroyed. The Chapter's fleet was nothing but debris and their Homeworld was swarming with Tyranids. The Defenders' Fortress Monastery was also ablaze, but the Imperial Fists refused to abandon their Successor Chapter. Their fleet was outnumbered ten to one, though, and soon began losing warships to the Hive Fleet. The fighting would then drag on for hours, but the Imperial Fists found themselves no closer to saving the Defenders. This changed, when a Torchbearer Fleet suddenly appeared.[1]
The Torchbearers had been tasked with giving the Defenders, the Primaris technology and they immediately struck the Obscurus Fleet. With the element of surprise on their side, the Torchbearer Fleet was able to punch through the Bio-ships and reach the Defenders' Homeworld. Once there, they delivered reinforcements to the Chapter's Fortress Monastery, before attacking the Hive Fleet again. Forces of the Adeptus Custodes, Sisters of Silence and Greyshields, were then able to cleanse the Fortress and save what remained of the Chapter. Afterwards, the Hive Fleet was destroyed and the Defenders Obscurus were able to begin rebuilding their strength and numbers.[1]
