Brothers and Sisters of the Imperium, I come today to propose and discuss the formation of a new Chapter. One of which has set it's prime directive to bring forth a new Golden Age of Man.
Chapter: Chrono Liberandum
Formation: Adeptus Mechanicus priests escorted by Space Marines
Background: After the events of the Horus heresy and the continual, accelerateddecline of the Imperium, this task force would be formed to attempt to seek out and recover relics of the golden age, to study them, and resurrect Mankind's might in the sector.
First Directive: Reconnaissance, Review and Recovery
The main objective. This fleet is not to liberate Craft Worlds already tainted by xeno, but to extract what’s left of the Imperium’s technology. The squadrons are not given orders to fight and eradicate the invaders, but simply buy enough time for the Adeptus Mechanicus in the platoon to locate, appraise and extract the valuable works of the Imperium. These would be brought back to Forge Worlds to replicate for the arsenal, and at the same time studied to improve upon and reverse engineer to manufacture new technology.
Second Directive: Scavenge and Assimilate
Squads are sent from the main fleet to support other chapters in their crusade. Once having driven out the Xeno infestation on the battlefield, they are sent to scour and collect any Alien technology found useful, to bring back to better understand the strategies and arms that the enemies of the imperium carry, and to attempt to learn from their technology to better our own arsenal.
What do you guys think? I'm still rather inexperienced in 40k (having read a LOT of fluff, but I think it's still not enough due to not having played any tabletop games cause I've no friends) honestly and this is almost unfiltered rambling so a lot of fine tuning, expanding and consistency checking still needed to do. But is this interesting? I kinda want to write a novel in the 40k universe with this Chapter. Has this been done before?

and I do know that any attempts at trying to study and understand any holy schematic is heretical, but I was thinking that after the events of the Dark Imperium the Inquisition and the Mechanicus would see this as a last resort, although not fully supporting the directive, they kinda turn a blind eye to their actions, as long as they don't directly interfere with the general eradication of xenos.

An organization already exists to recover DAoT/STC materials and/or examples of xenotech for study.
It's the Explorator fleets of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
Adeptus Astartes from existing chapters may provide support for such endeavors, particularly from those chapters that have close links to the Mechanicus such as the Iron Hands or Reclaimers.
Founding a chapter purely for this is wasteful as Marines are too valuable to tie down to a single task.
Mechanicus would also not be willing to risk information leaking through the marine component to outside organisations, since Astartes have to have wider ties to other Adepta.
>tl;dr Nope. Conflict of purpose, duplication of effort, lack of secrecy
