===Dark Angels===
As the [[Dark Angels]] are no longer based on an actual world, they draw their recruits from a variety of planets, mainly highly primitive worlds. Representatives of the Dark Angels visit each recruiting world once within a normal human's lifetime, and take the strongest juveniles from the population. They are assessed via a variety of contests of strength, agility and courage before being assessed by an [[Apothecary]] for their suitability for receiving the implanted organs necessary for their transformation. Those that fail the trial at this stage by being biologically unsuitable or by refusing to be tested are euthanised <sup>2</sup>. After each recruit is thoroughly screened and from the moment he is accepted into the Chapter as a Space Marine his past becomes irrelevant.
