he Knights of Solarus traced their origins back to the ancient times of the Great Crusade. Founded by the legendary Primarch Solarus, they were a successor Chapter of the noble Ultramarines. Solarus was known for his tactical genius and unwavering sense of justice, qualities that he instilled in his sons.
One fateful day, a distress call reached the Chapter's fortress-monastery on the world of Solara Prime. It originated from the Imperial agri-world of Verdantia, a vital source of sustenance for the Imperium. The Knights of Solarus wasted no time and set forth, their strike cruisers slicing through the void of space with unmatched speed.
Upon arrival, they found Verdantia under assault by a massive Ork WAAAGH! led by the fearsome Warboss Grogdakka. The greenskin menace ravaged the agri-world, threatening to starve billions of Imperial citizens. The Knights of Solarus knew they had to act swiftly and decisively.

As news of their heroism spread, the Chapter received a sudden influx of recruits, eager to join their ranks and fight for the Emperor. The Knights of Solarus, humbled by the outpouring of support, began a new era of expansion and renewal. They trained their new recruits rigorously, instilling in them the virtu
