This page is about the history of the space marines for the readers

A Space Marine Chapter is described as having a nominal fighting strength of 1,000 men, with several times that number of support staff and initiates in training. A chapter is divided into 10 semi-autonomous companies made up of roughly 100 men, with each company led by a "Brother-Captain". Each company is divided into 10 squads of 5-10 "Battle-Brothers".

Twenty were made of the Emperor's genetic material during the Horus Heresy. They were spread across the galaxy by the powers of chaos, each to his own world. All the Primarchs were recovered as the Imperium of Man recovered its old territory, but two are described to have had "tragic accidents", it has also been told they were never found; solid evidence has never been published. Each of the rediscovered Primarchs were appointed command of a Legion of superhuman soldiers made with their genetic code.

During the Horus Heresy, only nine legions remained loyal to the Emperor, the rest falling to the influence of Chaos. After the defeat of Horus the Warmaster the Legions were separated into smaller "Chapters" of 1,000 Marines each. This was to prevent a single commander from having as much power as Warmaster Horus. The first Chapter of each of the old Legions retains the name of the founding Legion. All subsequent Chapters gain their own names and are referred to as Successor Chapters.
