==Background==
The '''Fire Angels''' are a [[Space Marine]] chapter were created from [[Ultramarines]] [[gene-seed]]. They fought on the loyalist side during the [[Badab War]]. In one incident during the war, the rebel [[Astral Claws]] launched a suicidal counter-attack, in which a squadron of [[Rhino]]s broke through an Imperial salient to the Fire Angels' lines and detonated a virus missile, causing more deaths in one day than the Fire Angels had suffered in the war so far.{{Cite This}}
The Fire Angels are a highly zealous chapter. Fervent believers in the Imperial creed, they do not revere their ancestral primarch ([[Roboute Guilliman|their ancestral primarch]]) as most many chapters do, believing this to be a form of idolatry. They tend to rely on "basic" Imperial technology and codex equipment, such as rhinos [[Rhino]]s and [[Predator]]s, while their [[1st Company]] is mostly composed of [[Sternguard Veteran]]s rather than of [[Terminator]]s.{{Fn|1b}}
Known as a conservative chapter the Fire Angels are strict adherents to the [[Codex Astartes]]. Due to their belief that the [[Emperor of Mankind|Emperor]] is a god, they share many links with the [[Ecclesiarchy]] and regularly fights fight alongside the [[Sisters of Battle]].{{Fn|4}}
