The Shadow Guard Space Marine Chapter was created during the 26th founding on the year of 738.M41, the reasoning behind the founding of new Space Marine Chapters was to protect areas of Segmentum Obscurus and Pacificus against chaotic and xeno threats respectively.
The Shadow Guard was assigned the protection of the Alexus Sector, being comprised of 4 sub-sectors, together with the Dragon Sons and The Cosmic Centaurs successor chapters of the Salamanders and White Scars respectively.
While the Dragon Sons and Cosmic Centaurs settled into worlds of the sector, the Shadow Guard still maintained a Fleet Based system and never chose a homeworld. Initiatives were recruited in passing worlds thought many came from the sector.
The First Engagement of the chapter came in the form of the chaos warband belonging to the Word Bearers Traitor Legion upon the world of Xiollon.
The warband was defeated by the chapter though the world population would be euthanized by the inquisitors belonging to the ordo malleus after the chapter left to other places.
The chapter would soon face one of its most devastating challenges when the Dragon Sons and Cosmic Centaurs turned Renegade.
The reasons behind this is still unknown despite the investigation conducted by several inquisitors.
The war waged between the loyalists and the traitors was fierce lasting 80 years before both traitor chapters were finally defeated and exterminated, their gene seed was sent towards Mars for examination and preservation by the genetors of Mars.
The aftermath of the conflict was felt very rapidly felt by both the chapter and the sector, the chapter had lost hundreds of astartes along with their first chapter master and the sector has lost millions in manpower and materials. The Forge Worlds of the sector being the only reason it did not collapse economically.
The chapter would go to recover their numbers though it took decades. The Shadow Guard did not appeared to have any sort of traitorous intent until the year of 885.M41 where it was discovered that the astartes collaborated and worked with the previously unknown Xeno species: The Scrairkoik.
The Scrairkoik were a Xeno species residing on Segmentum Obscurus, the xenos lived in primitive vessels traveling across the void being nothing more than nomads, add the fact they present very little in terms of danger and is quite surprising that they managed to survive this long.
The exact point of time the Scrairkoik and the Shadow Guard met is unknown despite investigations.
When this betrayal of Imperial ideals was discovered a war was waged between the inquisition along with elements of the Imperial Guard, Imperial Navy, Adeptus Sororitas and Space Marine Chapters against The Shadow Guard, Scrairkoik, and Planetary Defense Forces who joined the traitors.
The Loyalists were victorious on the year of 910.M41 but could not fully destroy the renegade chapter though they managed to exterminate the Scrairkoik and kill several members of the traitors including their chapter master.
The surviving members now in the leadership of the chief librarian of the chapter vowed to return to the sector and avenge their fallen xeno allies.
On 945.M41 there were sightings of the Shadow Guard and their ships across the Eva Sector but now bearing the mark of chaos.
The leader of the warband the Chief Librarian, now turned Sorcerer of chaos, Samael orchestrated the corruption of nearly the entire sector.
Entire worlds had to be destroyed as they were already very close on becoming daemon worlds, the warband corrupted large portions of the Imperial regiments sent to fight against the threat and then leaving immediately after.
This begs the question of what was their real objective.
