==Background==
The '''Sable Swords''' Chapter was created sometime after 926.[[M41]] following the near-total destruction of the [[Astral Knights]] Chapter to stop the [[Necron]] [[World Engine]] on the outskirts of the [[Danorra System]]. Seven-hundred and seventy-two battle-brothers sacrificed themselves in the attempted suicide mission to silence the [[World Engine]]'s weapon systems and were instrumental in allowing the Imperial fleet to tear the [[World Engine]] apart with repeated volleys of cyclonic torpedoes. The handful of Battle-Brothers who had not been present during the battle against the [[World Engine]] were too few to carry the burden of reconstitution. Another Chapter, the '''Sable Swords''', was formed to fill the void and took up stewardship of the all-but abandoned Fortress Monastery.{{Fn|2d}}{{Fn|2f}}{{Fn|4}}
The '''Sable Swords''' [[Homeworld]] [[Obsidia]] is located in the [[Ultima Segmentum]].{{Fn|2b}}
