Origins:
The people of Cronisius, lost to the Imperium for more the 5000 years, lost much of the technology they brought with them when they colonize this world. The only technology that survived those strife, was the weaponry use in war, some power armor, bolter, bolter pistol and primitive chain sword. They retain some basic knowledge in the medical field and war tactics. Everything else was lost due to either the warp storm or the death world environment.
The Jungle rule the life of man on this planet, the spiders rule for the jungle, and the people revere the spiders, the same spider the animal in the jungle fear. The chose the spider because it is the perfect hunter, the master of trap and sneak attack. They revere only one kind of spider, they call it the "dragon spider" because of it tendency to spit poison in the face of its opponent. They learn to mimic most of the spider tactic and learn to train those spiders as pets, watchdogs and even mounts. The inhabitant that survived those days began forming a cast system mimicking an old Terra system.
They form an elite group of warrior, train in using the old technology, to defend the villages from the weird creature that delve in the forest. They became a strong fighting force on the planet. Each village as it own force, using a different tactics and way to fight. One of the Village Train spiders as Mounts and use then in the jungle to be able to move faster and be able to assail the monsters with ease. Another Village trained then as Companion, fighting with them as other world bring dog, or wolf with them to war.
The people accept the way of the Imperium with ease and many went on training with the imperial army and even somewhere chosen to go with the Imperial Fist to become Astarte.
Around the 8th Founding the Imperial Fist wore ask to help found a new chapter that will help protect the region colonies againts an incresing number of Orks Waaaagh and even some demonic incursion. The new chapter decide to use Cronisius as their Chapter Homeworld and implement a chapter-fortress deep in the jungle. They chose this world for its people, but mostly for its strange spider and they way the people use them.

Around the 8th Founding the Imperial Fist wore ask to help found a new chapter that will help protect the region colonies against an increasing number of Orks Waaaagh and even some demonic incursion. The new chapter decide to use Cronisius as their Chapter Homeworld and implement a chapter-fortress deep in the jungle. They chose this world for its people, but mostly for its strange spider and they way the people use them.
They decide to expend their choice of recruit by taking seven other world (planet and asteroid base) under their wings, most are just a few AU apart, so are highly suitable to find resources and it is even compromise an Adaptus Mechanicus research world and one forge world that supply the region with goods.
One Battle mark the chapter over all it milliniums of existence, it was 666M38 when a rogue band of Orks began to worship Kron and begin trading their soul for power over the other Waaagh of the region.Those infernal Orks are no longer an Ork band, but the became a horde of daemon and even some traitor space marine even joined the fray. All the Orks that come in contact with this corrupted Waaagh, has is gene corrupted to the core and they are so corrupted that they are no longer orks in nature, but daemon of some kind. They no longer leave spore when they die, they don't generate Waaagh energy anymore.
Growing bigger and bigger they became a threat to the sector and the Amethys Dragons wore ask to step in and stop them before they could become a bigger treat to the Galaxy. The Dragons where overwhelm and they lost the whole 5th company to those Orks because they could not figure out how to beat their new found power. They decide to ask for the help of the Imperial guard, The Harakoni Warhawks 666th regiment, to send a few companies to give them a hand and to support their effort. During one of those fight the Master of the Forge Gaspar was badly injured by an Ork Defiler. Still having the will to live he asks forge-Brother Zodiac to but I'm into a Dreadnaught so he can continue to fight for the chapter. Techmarine Zodiac was chosen to become the next Master of the Forge, and he decide to approve of the conversion of Master Gaspar Dreadnaught to an Ironclad dreadnought,since it was it's old master pet project.
At some point during the war, the Chaos space marine decide to bring in some chaos titan to make their stand more imposing. So in returns the Amethyst dragon ask the help of the Legio Aranea, Jasigari VIII titan legion, to bolster their own defence and finaly crush the invation of chaos on Deaconium III.
The war to this day, is still raging. With the inquisition taking part to it around 752m39, when they decide to found a chapter on one of the agri world of the region. For the last Millenia the war as turn to skirmish and small war at the edge of tier respective territories.
Home world:
Name: 7-45 – Cronisius
Nick Name: The Time Paradox
Pop. Density: Small and scatter
Era at discovery: Pre-industrialism even some part are still medieval
Sector: Segmentum Pacificus
Description:
The Amethyst Dragon Chose Cronisius when they first was created, but during their first Millennia in the sector found that it would be easier if they had more resource at their disposal. They ask the Terra Council for their permission to annex planet near the chapter Planet and put then under their protection. Since then eight worlds compromise their Regency and each of then has been peaceful for more than 2000 year. Here is the list of World under their protection:
· Cronisius III, Death World – Chapter World
· Haillo VI, mining facility
· Dmomius VIII, Asteroid field base – ship to ship and ship to star base boarding action Training facility
· Socal XI, Adaptus Mechanicus research world, barren of any other life form.
· Deaconium III, Hive World
· Grodo IV, Inquisition Fortress, mostly an Agriworld (water based)
· Kierkegaard V, Agriworld
· Jasigari VIII, Adaptus Mechanicus Forge World, a cavern world
- 7-45, known to its inhabitant as Cronisius, is a death world. Jungle, riddle with giant insect and dangerous predator, cover most of the habitable region. The rest of the planet is either cover in massive mountain or ice covered plain. Those that survive, did it by losing some of their humanity to become warrior, savage, bent on living their live to the fullest.
- Mining world, Haillo, is a gases giant with over a 100 moons that are still exploitable for their resource. Orbiting this planet is a Ship yard use to repair and construct Imperial navy ship and other ship need by the regency.
- Dmomius, A few million years ago Two planet collide and now they are used to extract most mineral used in star ship construction. The Amethyst Dragon use this asteroid field as a training area for ship to ship boarding and ship to star base attack. It's also use to hide the chapter fleet and use it in sector defense.
- Having a Mechanicus world, Socal, in their small Empire, as some boon. They tend to have a few goodies when they need to defend their installations. They also have access to advance training for their Techmarines, artificer, and better servitor for field use and chapter forge.
- The slum of Deaconium make a good recruiting ground for the chapter, they usually make great scout and assault troop ready to give it all for the Chapter honor and a place on the Tactical squad. With the help of the inquisition they keep this world free of Heretic and any Xenos that may happen to pass by to get the riches of the world and its raw human resources.
- The world chosen by the inquisition, Grodo, is an Agriworld that help feed most other world with its unique aquatic byproduct and deep sea culture. They chose this planet because it's mostly cover (around 95%) in water and they can access to some of the best underwater facility in this sector. The Amethyst Dragon protect all the outer ring in the sector and make this world a good place to set up this alliance.
- Kierkegaard, massive Agriworld, with nothing more than that on the planet no other useful resource on it.
- Jasigari, was a mining colony in the early year of the Draconian Regency, now it is riddle with deep cavern that protect its inhabitant from the harsh environment that plague this world. The atmosphere is breathable, but the sun radiation is harmful to most life forms. In human it then to mutate body and mind, and make then savage and dangerous to society. Those underground condition make an ideal Manufactum world Adaptus Mechanicus control and make this world a usual target for Orks Waaaagh and Eldar Pirates. Jasigari Factory make most of the vehicle and ammunition needed by the chapter and nearby Imperial force, like the Inquisition and the Imperial Army (both navy and Guard). The chapter as pledge to protect this planet before the Mechanicus took it under control and will do it until they are asked to leave. With the help of the Adaptus Mechanicus, they are able to field more Predators, Land raiders and Bikes then most chapters.
Combat Doctrine:
Each company as it own set of tactics.
-The 2nd company is your basic run of the mill setup, except that every heavy weapon and special weapon use are either flamer or heavy flamer. They are the dragon company and they are seen as the cleaner. In the past, they have seen the ravage the daemons can do to the dead and now they systematically burn to ashes every corps on a battle field, their own after harvesting the gene-seed and those of their enemy. They even bring back weapon, armor and vehicle so the can be destroyed and recycle to produce new base material by the Mechanicum.
-Captain Trail company, the 3rd of the chapter, is known to use a lots of bikes in there tactics, they usually field a minimum of four squadrons of bikes with attack bikes support "wings". So a total of nearly 40 bikes can be seen on the field at any one time. They also field land speeders and whirlwind for cover and anti-tank purpose. When the third is on the field even the forge master let its bike out and ride into the fray with the company. They use a hit and run tactics that even rival the white scar, but not out do them. They are speed freak that see the use of fast strike and no reply from the enemy.
-The 4th company is favored by the Master of the Forge, Master Zodiac, because it contains the last Master of the Forge, Master Gaspar, maimed body in-case in an armored sarcophagus attach to is favored dreadnought armor, an Ironclad. They tend to field the most numbers of dreadnought in the whole army. It currently can field three ironclads, one chaplains and two regulars dreadnought, they armed with various weapon from anti-tank weaponry (aka melta, lascannon and various close combat weapon) to "crowd Control" ( heavy flamer, storm bolter or hurricane bolter). They are always well armored and fully equip to withstand any threat out there. They can field techmarines, with a full complement of servitor to help them out, with the dreadnought to make field repair and act has field support for them. Those techmarines sometimes are fields in razorback to be able to be protected while performing repair in the field and moving pretty much any where on the field faster and safer. They are used to break a siege or the make one. Their use of heavy weapon platform is know throwout the Galaxy as a near unstoppable force.
Organization:
The organisation is both close and far from Guilliman organization chart. They have a fully mechanise company made for quick insertion and faster deployment. They have a cleaning squad, fully equip with flamer and even the vehicles as many flamer as possible attach to them. To most marine it is an honor to be part of the dragon company. Siege warfare is an art and the fourth company as make it is duty to either broke those siege or make the siege themselves.
The Amethyst Dragon have two chaplain one his in case into a dreadnought coffin and the other is part to the terminator Assault team. Both preach for the light of the emperor, but they don't act as the guiding spirit of the chapter like they do in other chapters, the job of guiding the belief of the chapter falls to the Master of the forge and it Techmarines, they are the TechPriest. They enforce the light of the emperor and the force of the machine, Omnissiah, to be the ultimate being. Everything else is per Guilliman book.
Beliefs:
The Emperor is God. That says it all, the Amethyst dragon believes that the Emperor is a divinity, their creator and the creator of their Father, Rogal Dorn. They believe that the Emperor will light the way and that he will purge the galaxy of the Xenos and the taint Chaos.
They believe that they are the weapon needed by the Imperium of man to achieve peace and prosperity in the galaxy. They gladly associate with the inquisition, whatever the branch that ask for help, to purge the trouble of the galaxy.
Their weapon and armor are as sacred as the Emperor. They worship, Omnissiah, like the Adaptus Mechanicus and approve of the rite needed to make sure that everything is working as it should. The Master of the Forge as a major role within the Amethyst Dragon, he undertakes the role of Master of the rite and Holder of the Litany.
Gene-seed:
The Amethyst Dragon have the same gene-seed as the Imperial Fists, it has been somewhat corrupted over the millenniums, so two traits have emerged. One is the loss of two of the special organs produced by Space Marines: the Betcher's Gland which allows the Marine to produce poisonous/acidic spittle, and the Sus-an Membrane, which allows a Marine to enter a state of suspended animation.
Battle Cry:
"Purification by fire is the only mean for the purification of impure soul". Before a combat their utter this phrase as part of the rite of preparation.
“Nil sine lumine” - Nothing without light, yell in battle when they are faced with the infidels and the corrupted.
) to make it more unique. I also change is axe to add a blade to use as a Glaive/axe combo. As for secondary weapon will be holster will be either a storm bolter or a plasma gun.
