Though never rivaling the size and power of the Legions, a Space Marine Chapter is a potent military force. When an entire Chapter turns renegade, it is a grave threat indeed. With all of the resources of a Space Marine Chapter at their disposal, the Renegades of Chaos destroy armies, conquer worlds, and despoil whole sectors of the Imperium. Such events warrant an extreme response from the Imperium, not to mention other Space Marine Chapters. It is perhaps the most trying test of faith for a Space Marine to fight another Space Marine, and these internecine conflicts often have a calamitous effect on other Chapters nearby. In these circumstances, such inter-Chapter wars tend to escalate quickly, engulfing many worlds in bloodshed. On occasion, those forces sent to deal with the treacherous Chapter may actually end up, in whole or in part, joining with those they were sent to destroy.
