Celestial Lions

The Celestial Lions is a Loyalist Successor Chapter of the stoic Imperial Fists, raised in the 38th Millennium during an unknown Founding, though some Imperial scholars suspect it may have been the 23rd Founding. Following the 25th Founding at some time in the latter half of the 40th Millennium, the Celestial Lions became a part of a triumvirate of Space Marine Chapters which included the Emperor’s Spears and the now-extinct Star Scorpions, as a part of the Adeptus Vaelarii, better known as the “Sentinels of the Veil.” These three Chapters were charged with the sacred duty to stand sentinel over the scattered worlds of the region of space known as Elara’s Veil.
