==History==
Little is known about the '''Tiger Claws''', or their history. What little that is known was uncovered during Having previously been thought lost in the interrogation of an [[Astral Clawswarp]] in their entirety, a single [[apothecarycompany]] during of the [[Badab War]]missing chapter reappeared many centuries later. This interrogation revealed that the remnants of the long lost Tiger Claws had secretly taken refuge with Their petition to have their primogenitors the [[Astral Claws]] gene-stock released and were being masqueraded as members of that their chapterrebuilt was dismissed when their senior surviving officer, with the eventual aim of rebuilding the Tiger Claws using withheld [[Astral ClawsCaptain]] Vetala, disappeared shortly after delivering it on [[gene-seedTerra]] tithes. The other surviving Tiger Claws themselves disappeared shortly afterwards.<sup>21a</sup>.
Any It was rumoured in senior [[Inquisition]] circles at the time that this was no bad thing; the chapter was thought to be of the [[Cursed Founding]] and so better off dead.<sup>1a</sup> The Tiger Claws were once again thought extinct, until the interrogation of an [[Astral Claws]] [[apothecary]] during the [[Badab War]] revealed some starting information. The prisoner disclosed that the remnants of the long lost Tiger Claws had secretly taken refuge with their primogenitors, the [[Astral Claws]], and were being masqueraded as members of that chapter with the eventual aim of rebuilding the Tiger Claws using withheld [[Astral Claws]] [[gene-seed]] tithes.<sup>1b</sup> Because of this, any Tiger Claws survivors of the [[Badab War]] are now part of the [[Red Corsairs]].  == Timeline ==*[[M36]] - Founding (allegedly).*[[M40]]**c.280.M41 - The entirety of the Tiger Claws chapter disappear in the warp and are thought lost.*[[M41]]**680.M41 - The ''Bakasurra'', a [[Strike Cruiser]] of the chapter, reappears with over 100 [[battle-brothers]] aboard.***Aid the [[Storm Wings]] chapter in battle against [[Dark Eldar]].***Disappearance of Captain Vetala and subsequently the rest of his company,**908.M41 - Revelation that Vetala's lost company are by now masquerading as Astral Claws and attempting to increase their numbers.
==Canon Conflict==
The Tiger Claws were originally depicted in a tiger striped camo pattern, and had a different chapter symbol. Their current symbol appears to be a black tiger head in profile, very similar in style/pose to the [[Astral Claws]] chapter symbol.
