The Rift Keepers are a strange and enigmatic Chapter of Space Marines rarely seen in the Galaxy at large. The Chapter is wholly (some would say fanatically) dedicated to guarding a small but highly dangerous Warp Storm known as Badak's Rift, located on the very edge of the Astonomicon in the farthest edges of the Ultima Segmentum. It is a dark and sinister place, named after the fool Rogue Trader that first ventured into it, never to return. Few if any ever venture near that area of empty space, yet the Rift Keepers will defend this dark place to their last with a will that is unlike anything seen, even in Space Marines.

| - The Rift Keepers are a strange and enigmatic Chapter of Space Marines rarely seen in the Galaxy at large. The Chapter is wholly (some would say fanatically) dedicated to guarding a small but highly dangerous Warp Storm known as Badak's Rift, located on the very edge of the Astonomicon in the farthest edges of the Ultima Segmentum. It is a dark and sinister place, named after the fool Rogue Trader that first ventured into it, never to return. Few if any ever venture near that area of empty space, yet the Rift Keepers will defend this dark place to their last with a will that is unlike anything seen, even in Space Marines. None may enter Badak's Rift without first enacting an ancient code, known only to a scant few in the upper echelons of the Imperium. This is part of the pact that apparently bonded the Chapter to its infernal territory, the Writ of Rift. The Writ is supposedly an ancient document, signed by a powerful conclave of Lord Inquisitors, one of each Ordo Majoris, giving the Rift Keepers unprecedented authority within the realm of the Rift and its immediate surroundings. Nothing may enter or leave the Rift without the Chapters explicit permission or the code, those who do not comply to their so-called "Emperor-Given" authority will do worse than die.
