On their founding they were designated with the chapter number of 888, a number previously belonging to the [[Star Scorpions]] Chapter.{{Cite This}}
The Star Scorpions were a Chapter of the [[Twenty Fifth Founding]] and had the dual misfortune of producing redundant [[gene-seed]] and being devastated by warp entities after becoming lost in the [[warp]]. Although what exactly happened to the Chapter is unknown, the [[Emperor]] decreed the Chapter be considered dead. The gene-seed of the Star Scorpions survived, although the mutated gene-seed made [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] efforts to rebuild the Chapter futile.{{Cite This}}
During the [[Twenty Sixth Founding]], the [[Adeptus Terra]] assigned one of the newly created chapters (the Mentor Legion) with the colors and number of the Star Scorpions. The Mentors were given an entirely new generation of genetic material collated from the storage banks of the [[Terra]] laboratories.{{Cite This}}
