'''Lost Chapters''' are [[Space Marine]] [[Chapter]]s that have ceased to exist. Some were annihilated in one sudden strike, while others were slowly sustained too many casualties to survive on the long rundestroyed through attrition, being incapable unable for whatever reason to replenish their loses recruit new marines fast enough because of some reasonto replace combat losses. Information about these chapters is often lost during the millennia and all-too scarce.
They should not to be confused with the [[Renegade Chapter]]s, who are deemed [[Excommunicate Traitoris]] by the [[Imperium]]. Renegade chapters still exist but have gone rogue, breaking their vows of loyalty towards the [[Imperium]]. Some of them are simple traitors, fallen to [[Chaos]]. Others are idealistic rebels who rejected the all-too oppressive Imperial authority for some reason.
