LEGION: Name of Legion when founded.

PRIMARCH: Name of Primarch from which Legion allegedly drew its geneseed.

WORLD: Where Legion was based. Worlds in parentheses subsequently destroyed.

*: EXCOMMUNICATE TRAITORS - Those Legions who turned to Chaos during the Great Heresy.

1. Dark Angels. For reasons undisclosed, the Dark Angels and their Second Founding successors refer to themselves as the unforgiven.

2. Space Wolves. "The Space Wolves encourage genetic deviancy [re: extraordinary growth of canines] and show extreme unorthodoxy in their tactics and organisation."

3. Blood Angels. Blood Angels and their successors follow unconventional and deviant gene-replication practices which has led to the debasement of their gene-seed. Rumours of 'Red Thirst' and 'Black Rage' still perpetuate, despite investigation on numerous occasions.

4. Ultramarines. The Ultramarines Legion is responsible for nearly 3/5ths of the gene-core of the current Space Marine Chapters. The Ultramarines Chapter rules now large empire in Galactic South-East, known as Ultramar, one of the most powerful institutions on the Eastern Fringe.

5. Lunar Wolves. The Lunar Wolves were renamed Sons of Horus (c.125.M30). After the death of Horus, they became known as the Black Legion.
