One of the very few Chapters to have been founded from the legendary Salamanders, the Star Knights are odd in that they are a space-borne Chapter similar to the Black Templars. Specializing in Shock and Awe tactics, with a particular emphasis to boarding actions, the Star Knights are some of the best Space Marines when it comes to Drop Pod assaults, usually supplemented by Thunderhawks and Orbital Bombardments. While tenacious on the defense, they are particularly ferocious on the assault, using precisely aimed bursts of bolter fire, gouts of flamers and superheated blasts of meltaguns. Their armor gleams with the color of silver and blue trim, the heraldry a crossed sword and Sword-class Frigate. Their battle honors list a great many campaigns and actions: Armageddon, Badab, Behemoth, just to name a few.
However, like their Founding Chapter, the Star Knights themselves maintain tight units and links back to their families. It is considered a point of honor to have one's son considered as an aspirant. And should the lad be fortunate and skillful to survive the process, he rejoins his family for a week and a day to celebrate and give his farewell. It is often that a Star Knight Novitiate embark on extended training periods and return to find their family dead from old age. The Marine in question is often seen as a guardian for the family, photos and trinkets from their childhood left on the family’s altar as both remembrance for the man who sacrificed their humanity and as a prayer to the Emperor to keep their loved one safe upon the field of battle.
The Chapter has recently fallen into dire times, as having blunted the worst of a nascent Ork Waaagh. In doing so, their fleet was all but destroyed and the amount of Marines to bear the heraldry number less than one-hundred and fifty brothers. The last remaining Chapter Master, recently the Master of Recruits, has now inherited the title of Chapter Master. And they are in need of allies and time.
