The origins of the Chapter start at 995.M40, when the Storm Draugar invaded the Mordant Zone, bringing forth an astonishing force to be reckoned with. The Imperium responded by mustering several thousand Guardsmen, three Adepta Sororitas Orders and two Knight Houses who were later joined by two hundred Black Templars. The fighting was brutal and casualties were piling up on both sides, but the Storm Draugar were drawing new recruits from the savage tribes of a Death World called Augustine. The Black Templars spearheaded the assault and landed on the planet. There they found out that the Storm Draugar were trying to reawaken the Machine Spirit of a massive ordnance battery called "Hortensius", a relic of the Great Crusade. The righteous crusaders made a beeline for the weapon and seized it

abstract	The origins of the Chapter start at 995.M40, when the Storm Draugar invaded the Mordant Zone, bringing forth an astonishing force to be reckoned with. The Imperium responded by mustering several thousand Guardsmen, three Adepta Sororitas Orders and two Knight Houses who were later joined by two hundred Black Templars. The fighting was brutal and casualties were piling up on both sides, but the Storm Draugar were drawing new recruits from the savage tribes of a Death World called Augustine. The Black Templars spearheaded the assault and landed on the planet. There they found out that the Storm Draugar were trying to reawaken the Machine Spirit of a massive ordnance battery called "Hortensius", a relic of the Great Crusade. The righteous crusaders made a beeline for the weapon and seized it from traitor hands. As the Techmarines were working on Hortensius, which was overgrown and covered in moss, their Battle-Brothers held their ground as Chaos Space Marines lounged at them with berserk rage. Many Templars lost their lives in that battle, but their sacrifices were not vain, as the Hortensius was brought back online and it unleashed a single powerful shot which decimated the Storm Draugar fleet, forcing them to withdraw. Alas, the mighty gun battery broke down for good, its final shot acting as its final cry. From the two hundred Templars, less than a hundred survived. Those who remained built a monastery to honor their fallen brethren and to remember the battle won. Thinking that a Crusade of that magnitude might happen again in the region, the remaining Black Templars founded the Crimson Dragoons. Swiftly afterwords, millions of pilgrims from San Leor and other bordering planets flooded to Augustine. Shrines were raised, chapels were built and those who fought in the Mordant Crusade were venerated as saints. Not long afterwards, a third of the planet was converted into a Shrine World, devoting its lands and people entirely to faithful worship and placing it under the protection of the Ecclesiarchy. Accompanying the Crimson Dragoons was the Order of the Shrine Maidens, whose sole purpose was the safekeeping of Augustine. But even with the combined might of these stalwart warriors, the planet still suffers intensively from assaults by the hands of Xenos, Heretics and Daemons. If it wasn't for the Crimson Dragoons, the holy soil of Augustine would have been blasphemed and the name of the God-Emperor tarnished. It is the faithful and vigilant watch of the Chapter that ensures that such fate never comes to pass, as they crush every adversary beneath the iron treads of their boot-heels. "Whoever spares the evil injures the good." —Captain Edward of the 2nd Company
