This Founding was undertaken amid the dark times of the Nova Terra Interregnum, when the Imperium of Man had been split into twin interstellar empires. Created alongside the Mantis Warriors and the Angels Revenant, the Sable Lions quickly garnered a noble if aloof reputation, even for the warriors of the Adeptus Astartes. For their role in the Nova Terra Interregnum, they were given the primitive world of Persepolis, located in the galactic north near the Pelegron Cluster, which lies near the edges of the Segmentum Ultima and the Segmuntum Obscurus. The hardy inhabitants of Persepolis formed the basis of new generations of Neophytes for the Chapter. While completely autonomous of sector authority they serve as protectors, guarding the Imperial routes to the Forge World of Mezoa, located in the nearby Gothic Sector, while their Chapter starships tirelessly ply the borders of the Pelegron Cluster, hunting down and slaughtering xenos corsairs and potential Chaos incursions that have long made this trackless region their lair. The Sable Lions are highly active in the prosecution of the Emperor's wars, seemingly deployed according to the whims of their Chapter Master (Caliph) and only rarely answering calls to war from other Imperial authorities. Many of the operations in which the Sable Lions have been committed are notable in that they are often utilized in pacification and suppression campaigns. They have also been known to take part in brutal punitive actions against those who have violated Imperial law or broken faith with the Emperor, especially other Space Marine Chapters. Often these actions are taken against renegades or isolated elements within an otherwise loyal Chapter that refuses to suppress its own. The Sable Lions are zealous and uncompromising Astartes who have a deep and abiding faith in the Emperor of Mankind and their Primarch Rogal Dorn. They also possess a strong martial code of honour, and have no tolerance for those who repudiate their oaths. In temperament, the Sable Lions are notoriously bellicose, their battle tactics almost entirely concerned with the application of overwhelming force to bring about the total and immediate destruction of the enemy. Despite their brutal approach to war, the Sable Lions are not mindless berserkers and never throw away their own lives in the pursuit of impossible objectives. While some allies have denounced the Sable Lions for this attitude, some coming close to calling them out as traitorous, it is in fact rooted in their overwhelming sense of superiority and self-worth. The Sable Lions simply refuse to sacrifice themselves for anything but the highest cause, and when they commit themselves to battle, the result is the total destruction of all who stand before them.
