The '''Genesis Chapter''' are a [[Successor Chapter]] of the [[Ultramarines]] Legion{{Fn|16}}, created during the [[Second Founding]].
==Background=Overview===
First amongst the Primogenitors, the Genesis Chapter are dogmatically loyal to the memory of [[Roboute Guilliman]], and can be counted upon to fight at the Ultramarines' side without hesitation.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|13c}} They have the honour of being the first of the primogenitors and were formed from the noblest Ultramarines veterans who survived the Horus Heresy. Upon their inception, their first battle wrested the planet [[Newfound]] from the [[Word Bearers]].{{Fn|5}}
Another point of commonality with the Ultramarines is the [[Newfound Expeditionary Auxilia]], a force of armed [[Chapter Serf]]s that fight in support of the Genesis Chapter, similar to the units of the [[Ultramar Auxilia]].{{Fn|13a}}
===Notable Battles===
*'''544-546.[[M32]]''' - The [[War of the Beast]]. The Genesis Chapter aid the [[Ultramarines]] and their successors in defending [[Ultramar]] from the [[Orks]].{{Fn|8}}
*'''777.[[M41]]''' - [[Achilus Crusade]] - A strike force was dispatched to the Quarantined world of [[Argoth]] on the [[Canis Salient]], as a request from Lord [[Ebongrave]] for a undisclosed mission, supposedly to fight [[Tau]] emissaries. [[Watch-Station]] [[Hestus]] intercepted a request for aid from this strike force, but Lord Commander Ebongrave has overruled the deployment of any Imperial forces to the area. The Deathwatch dispatches a secret mission to find the status of this force.{{Fn|3}}
*'''~012.[[M42]]''' - The [[Plague Wars]]. The Genesis Chapter provides 6 Companies.{{Fn|11}}{{Fn|14}}
====Undated====
*Sometime before the [[13th Black Crusade]] the Genesis cruiser ''[[Daidem Mantle]]'', under command of [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Aeneas (Genesis Chapter)|Aeneas]], attacked the [[Night Lords]] vessel ''[[Echo of Damnation]]'' under the command of [[Talos Valcoran|Talos]] in the orbit of [[Tsagualsa]]. The Genesis chapter assaulted the Night Lords vessel using [[drop pod]]s and sought to neutralize the ship's bridge. They were ultimately unsuccessful and were destroyed in a cunning move by Talos which half destroyed a moon and the Genesis cruiser. {{Fn|4a}}
*[[Fourteenth Siege of Antigonis]] - A captain of the Genesis Chapter was deliberately provoked into single combat by a captain of the [[Minotaurs]]. Only a fresh wave of [[Ork]]s arriving from the [[Octarian Empire]] prevented relations between the two chapters deteriating deteriorating into bloody conflict.{{Fn|6}}
===Heraldry===The Genesis Chapter wear red armour.{{Fn|5}}{{Fn|13a}}{{Fn|13c}} As per the [[Codex Astartes]], a Marine's [[Space Marine Company|Company]] affiliation is shown by the colour of their armour's pauldron trim. {{Fn|5}}{{Fn|18}} [[Space Marine Veteran|Veteran Marines]] also bear a white stripe on their helmet.{{Fn|5}}
Their symbol is a stylised black alpha superimposed on an inverted white trigon.{{Fn|13a}}
===Notable Members===
*[[Eorloid]] — [[Chapter Master]].
*[[Portan]] — [[2nd Company (Genesis Chapter)|2nd Company]] [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] and [[Tetrarch of Ultramar]].
*[[Triamon]] — [[Primaris Space Marine|Primaris Brother]], [[5th Company (Genesis Chapter)|5th Company]].{{Fn|19}}
