The '''Red Scorpions''' are a [[Space Marine Chapter]] of unknown origin.{{Fn|1a}}
==History=====Origins===
The origins of the Red Scorpions Chapter are unknown. No records remain of the chapter's founding or from which [[Space Marine Legion]] their [[geneseed]] was first taken. This secrecy has led to some of the Imperium's hierarchy questioning the loyalty of a chapter that keeps its history secret and holds itself answerable to the [[Emperor]] alone. Despite this, the chapter assists wherever it can, carrying out thousands of relief missions. It is known, however, that the chapter has existed for at least 5,000 years.{{Fn|1a}}
