History

The Yellow Jackets emerged as a distinct chapter during the terror-filled era of the Horus Heresy. Cut off from the bulk of Imperial forces, the Yellow Jackets earned their namesake when they began a campaign of hit-and-run attacks launched from Thunderhawk Gunships. The sudden appearance of these warriors pinned down and paralyzed vast enemy forces and fear of their retribution prevented many a Planetary Governor from going over to the side of Chaos. In the ages since the Horus Heresy, the Yellow Jackets have continued to serve the Emperor with distinction, including their heroic stand against Warlord Graznik and his mighty Ork Waaagh!^[1]
