The Chem-Dogs were conscripted into the [[Imperial Guard]] ''en masse'' in order to meet the [[Imperium]]'s desperate need for troops during the [[Third War for Armageddon]]. Originally founded by [[Judge]] [[Callistar]] to put down an armed uprising on their homeworld, he realised the Chem-Dogs could be made into an effective fighting force with the right motivation. Therefore the Chem-Dogs were given the following directives: they could keep any war loot they took off the enemy, but if they broke the law they would be sent back to Savlar.{{Fn|1}}
This agreement is referred to as '''The Deal''' and remains in place as long as the items the Chem-Dogs seek to loot aren't esoteric [[xenos ]] weapons, previously held by mutants [[mutant]]s or tainted by [[Chaos]].{{Fn|11a}}
