No Pity! No Remorse! No Fear!
History
During Horus’s attack on the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Fists’ primarch, Rogal Dorn chose his First Captain, Sigismund, as the Emperor’s Champion, and he was given the best armour and weapons. Sigismund went forward to challenge the traitorous leaders in single combat, and triumphed over all he met in battle.
After the Horus Heresy, Roboute Guilliman, the primarch of the Ultramarines, ordered the breakdown of the Space Marine Legions into chapters. Dorn thought Guilliman a coward for not being there during the defence of Terra. Guilliman, in turn, thought Dorn a rebel for refusing to accept the dictates of the new Codex Astartes. Neither would give in. Leman Russ of the Space Wolves and Vulkan of the Salamanders both sided with Dorn, as they did not want their Legions divided, while Corax of the Raven Guard and Jaghatai Khan of the White Scars sided with Guilliman. Again, civil war threatened to split the Imperium.The Imperial Fists were persecuted for their so-called heresies and even fired upon by the Imperial Navy. When civil war seemed all but inevitable, Dorn finally relented and agreed to split his legion. The first Successor Chapters created from the Imperial Fists were the Crimson Fists and the Black Templars.
Sigismund led the more zealous of the Imperial Fists with him to the founding of the Black Templars, and became their first High Marshal. Sigismund swore an oath that upon leaving Terra, he and his new chapter would prove their loyalty by never resting in his duties against enemies of the Emperor. Every High Marshal after him has renewed this oath and as such, the Black Templars’ Crusade has continued for over ten thousand years, and is the longest Space Marine Crusade ever begun. Because of this unending crusade, the Black Templars have no permanent homeworld and instead live on their Crusade Fleets, using the planets they conquer to establish Chapter Keeps which are used for recruitment and staging areas.
Manifesto
Though many have heard the voice of the Emperor’s loyal Adeptus Astartes, I now give purpose to that voice.
The Black Templars Crusade fleet led by Marshal Afghanicus has been charged with purging the Xeno threat from Imperium space, all heretics and traitors will also be purged; none shall stand in the face of the Emperors righteous fury, his divine justice, his Black Templars. We are coming…
The Crusade Fleet is led by Marshal Afghanicus onboard the Eternal Crusader, while Castellan Bocephus leads assualts from the Divine Retribution. Emperors Champion Boagruis stands ready to answer any challenge with Powerfist, Bolter, His Hornet Chapter’s Sword, or his Constellation Emperor’s Wrath. The Chapters honours and exploits are documented by Chaplain Mekon who also routes out the taint of Choas.
Below us are numerous loyal Black Tempars from our newly proven Initiates to our veteran Sword Brethren. All have numerous ships to ensure that at any time we may answer his call.
Though we do not accept requests to join, those who prove themselves may be honoured with an offer of Initiate status, all others will begin as Neophytes serving on Templar ships until the sponsoring Initiate petitions to see them inducted into our ranks.
For those who hear our battle cry “No Pity! No Remorse! No Fear!” the Emperor has deemed you beyond redemption and his loyal Black Templars come for you.

3. Abhor the Witch. Destroy the Witch
All Xeno’s must be destroyed.
4.Accept Any Challenge, No Matter the Odds
Whether it be between our Champion and a Challenger, or at the call of the Imperium, Victory or Death we see His divine will done.
