| - The Iron Scorpions are an illustrious Chapter of Space Marines. Bearing the gene seed of the Primarch Rogal Dorn, they are a proud and honourable successor Chapter of the Imperial Fists called into existence during the Twentieth Founding. They retain a cumbersome force of approximately ten hundred marines at their disposal. They are most famed for their iron wills, fearlessness and vigorous dedication to the God-Emperor. They oppose arrogance, self-proclamation and even change as foolish practices, and that any true honour and skill should be proven in deeds alone, not petty words and through new technology that is always prone to malfunction, and on top of that, new technology always risks that of giving birth again to the dark age of technology. This rigid and almost naïvely unchanging system has been cast in time to be well-shown by a zero change in doctrine for the past two thousand years. Outside of personal practice and brilliant morale records, the Chapter is has proven to be fervent and aggressive zealots of their beloved God-Emperor, believing deeply in that their only meaning for existence is to protect the frail mankind from all threats - even from itself - and they work upon their every waking hour to prove this a thousand times over. They are infamous for being untrusting and openly defensive when conversing to their brothers of other Chapters, sometimes to the point of outright attempts of tactical intervention or sabotage. However, in direct contrary, they treat normal humans with a deep compassion and protectiveness, something that can be likened to that of an angel in the eyes of primeval humans. Despite having a dark past riddled with heresy and betrayal, today they have proved themselves to be some of the finest Space Marine Chapters in the Imperium; wholly respected by nearly all they protect. However in the eyes of other Imperial forces of war, favourability is scarce, as their vicious sectarianism, an unwillingness to accept change and difference of opinions coupled with their endless pursuit of independence has only driven them further and further away from any hope of unity with their comrades in arms.
