Time for some Fire Hawk fluff:

The Fire Hawks have long been a byword for devastation and wrath. In their history, they have seen great victories, bloody deeds and terrible reversals, being one of only a few chapters known to have survived the destruction of two separate home worlds, and being brought back from the brink of extinction many times.

The Chapter itself claims antecedence from the renowned Ultramarines gene seed, although certain defects and variations in the samples held in the archives of the Adeptus Terra speak against this, and the Lords of Macragge have never publicly acknowledged kinship.

The disappearance of the Fire Hawks

The beginning of the end of this chapter came when the Fire Hawks were called to the Crows World subsector in 963.M41 to deal with Dark Eldar Pirates. The entire chapter fleet, as well as the Raptorus Rex, attempted a warp jump from the Piraeus system, 120 light years from Crows World. The space fortress, five ships, over 800 brethren and 2,000 other personnel were expected to reach Crows World within no more than 12 hours. They never arrived.

In 983.M41 the chapter was officially declared lost in the warp and assumed destroyed. The Bell of Lost Souls tolled a thousand times, and it is said that the Emperor himself ordered a black candle to be lit in the Chapel of Fallen Heroes.

Rumours fed by a long line of coincidences have been said by conspiracy theorists to implicate the Officio Assassinorum in the loss of the Fire Hawks' fleet, though nothing has ever been substantiated.
