I have mentioned a couple chapters once before, but I gotta give one some extra attention

The Scarab Stewards, distant descendants of the Blood Angels, are a small but steadfast space marine chapter of the Varil sector

A fleet-based chapter, they are people protectors, lore seekers, art collectors, fending off space pirates and seeking to preserve both the people and the cultures of the Imperium

Like the popular Salamanders, the members of this chapter treat other servants of the Imperium with much greater respect, kindness and care than most space marines would

Sadly, they have suffered severe losses at the hands of the arch-enemy at the battle of Argent forest, barely avoiding total annihilation when marines of the Voices of Favor and a Raven guard company came to their aid, chasing the chaos warband away

Since then, the surviving Scarab Steward fleet (led by their chief warship, The Spectator) has been traveling around the Malto sector, sticking close to their allies until they can replenish their forces to continue their mission

Their symbol, though covered by a plume of smoke, is a purple and copper scarab beetle on a bright green base

No worries, fellow space marine enthusiast

...if you are a loyal human, living within the Imperium yes

They are Iron Warriors successors, presumably from the 25th founding, though they might be even older. All records of their founding have been lost, or methodically destroyed by the chapter.

Full story goes that, when the marines eventually found out who their true "ancestors" were, they destroyed their old fortress monastery and fled to a massive, then abandoned space hulk that orbits around planet Malto. Ashamed of their origins, they also removed all colors and markings (their original chapter badge was a stylized hourglass, while their original chapter color was presumably silver, or gunmetal) from their armor, leaving only brushed, polished ceramite.
