I've had a few people ask me about the Chapter in Only in Death, my current Fanfic, so I've got this.

The Black Watch
The Black Watch, now under the title of the Reclaimed, first appear in Astartes records on Mars in the 41st Millienium, fighting around the Cadian Gate, and later taking action in the Sabbat Worlds crusade.
The tragedy and fall of the Black Watch arrived on Aegis VII, a remote agri-world on the outer rim of the Sabbat worlds. An Imperial Segmentum Order was carried out, and Imperial forces under Lord Militant Humel were forced to pull out, to cleanse the planet with an Exterminatus.
The Black Watch recieved the call too late, and did not reach the extraction point. The record of the transmission is recorded below.
[Attention all Imperial Forces deployed on Aegis VII, this is Segmentum command. We have to withdraw, pending an Exterminatus. To those who cannot reach the drop zones, the Emperor be with you. You are on your own.]
This message was sent to all Imperial garrisons on the planet, and over a million Guardsmen and Sisters Of Battle were recovered. Not one Black Watch ever made it to the extraction points. From what we now know, a faulty radio relay sent the Black Watch the message an hour after it was sent, prompting them to retreat far too late.
Because of what they perceived as a betrayal, they fought on, oblivious. The Naval forces surrounding the planet were unable to launch the Exterminatus because of an engagement with the Ork vessels that had arrived during the retreat. All contact was lost with Aegis VII sixteen days after the retreat was called.
It is now known that a Space Marine named Urkrathos convinced his brethren that the Emperor had forsaken them to die on Aegis, so that he would be rid of them. Urkrathos was soon killed by his brothers, but the idea had taken root. The Marines left Aegis VII six years later, after stealing a Salamanders battle-barge by converting or killing the sixty-seven Marines left aboard.
The Reclaimed, as they came to call themselves, have no single leader, which makes destroying their command structure nigh impossible. Instead, they are loyal to a number of captains which command their pirate fleet. A full record of the fleet is below.
Aay'han-Battlecruiser class, Heavily converted Space Marine Strike crusier.
Ref.- Threshold Incident, primary Reclaimed vessel, rumoured to be the flagship of the last Chief Apothecary of the Reclaimed, Apothecary Lukas Altair.
Ven'couyt-Battlecruiser class, Heavily converted Space Marine Strike crusier.
Ref.-Threshold Incident, secondary Reclaimed vessel, destroyed Fist of the Emperor during the 13th Black Crusade.
Kel'dabe-Battlecruiser class, Heavily converted Space Marine Strike cruiser.
Ref.-Fortuna Raid, supported uprising against Space Wolf fleet and ground units.
Dirge Eterna-Carrier class, Former Word Bearers Murder-class crusier.
Ref.-Thought destroyed by the Blood Angels during the Shenlong crusade, the hulk was recovered by the Reclaimed and extensivly refitted and modified to serve as a carrier for Thunderhawk and Longsword-class gunships.
Prosecutor-Cruiser class, Stolen Dark Angels Strike Cruiser
Ref.-Stolen from Port Maw while under refit, possible link to Techmarine support.
Cult of Delieverance-Super-Heavy Battlecruiser class, Stolen Salamanders Battle-Barge
Ref.- Heaviest ship the Reclaimed can field, a very heavily converted and expanded Battle-barge class ship, stolen from high orbit over Aegis VII.
The Reclaimed have fought in a variety of places, including (but not limited to).
-Threshold
-Rynn's World
-Armageddon
-Volcanis Ultor
-Aegis VII
-Port Maw
-Fortuna
-Shenlong
-Coronis IV
-Damien XI
-Substance
The Reclaimed are slippery, and are used to flowing, well-defendable locations. Their motto reflects the bitterness they harbor against the Imperium that (according to them) left them to die.
"You are on your own!"
-Battle-cry of the Reclaimed, ref. Fortuna Raid.
