The Chapter's homeworld of Ootheca and its primary recruiting world of Tranquility III was handed over to the Space Sharks Chapter. The Chapter was stripped of its traditional guardianship of the Endymion Cluster, which was handed over to the Fire Hawks Chapter, while the Mantis Warriors were charged with undertaking a penitent crusade for 100 standard years during which they could recruit no neophytes to make up their losses. It was determined that the Mantis Warriors' actions had been driven by an honest mistake and the deceits of the man now known only as Huron Blackheart, Traitor to the Emperor and servant of the Ruinous Powers.
When the civil war known as the Badab War concluded, the Mantis Warriors sought and received the Emperor's forgiveness after the Inquisition determined that there was no Chaos taint upon them. The Mantis Warriors, like the other Maelstrom Warders Chapters, did not know that Lufgt Huron, in his hubris, had fallen to the desire for power and the temptations of Chaos. When Chapter Master Lufgt Huron of the Astral Claws declared that the Badab Sector had seceded from the Imperium in response to demands by the High Lords of Terra that seemed to be unjust intrusions upon the traditional autonomy of the Adeptus Astartes, the Mantis Warriors joined with the Astral Claws and the other Maelstrom Warders Chapters to defend what they saw as their rightful prerogatives and their Emperor-given duty to protect the people of their Maelstrom Zone region as best they could. The Mantis Warriors held guardianship over the stellar region of the Maelstrom Zone known as the Endymion Cluster that contained a large number of human-settled Feral and Feudal Worlds. The Mantis Warriors eventually were ordered by the High Lords of Terra to become part of an alliance of four Space Marine Chapters known as the Maelstrom Warders that also included the Astral Claws, the Charnel Guard and the Lamenters. It was created to help relieve their progenitors, the White Scars, in monitoring and countering the many threats harboured by the Maelstrom Warp Storm in the Ultima Segmentum.
The Mantis Warriors, also known as the Mantis Legion, is a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter believed to have been raised as part of the 8 th Founding in 598.M35.
