History

Little is known about the Tiger Claws, or their history. Having previously been thought lost in the warp in their entirety, a single company of the missing chapter reappeared many centuries later. Their petition to have their gene-seed released and their chapter rebuilt was dismissed when their senior surviving officer, Captain Vetala, disappeared shortly after delivering it on Terra. The other surviving Tiger Claws themselves disappeared shortly afterwards.

It was rumoured in senior Inquisition circles at the time that this was no bad thing; the chapter was thought to be of the Cursed Founding and so better off dead.

The Tiger Claws were once again thought extinct, until the interrogation of an Astral Claws apothecary during the Badab War revealed some startling information. The prisoner disclosed that the remnants of the long-lost Tiger Claws had secretly taken refuge with their primogenitors, the Astral Claws, and were masquerading as members of that chapter with the eventual aim of rebuilding the Tiger Claws using withheld Astral Claws gene-seed tithes.

Because of this, any Tiger Claws survivors of the Badab War are now part of the Red Corsairs.
