Angels of Absolution - Notable Campaigns: Vengeance from the Void (ca. M32) - Across a hundred scattered systems in the western marches of the Segmentum Solar, cult uprisings led by a core of Chaos Space Marine warbands drawn from the Iron Warriors, Night Lords and World Eaters Traitor Legions brought entire planetary governments to their knees in a year of blood and anarchy. With whole sections on the brink of collapse, events took a dramatic turn when a combined force of the Adeptus Astartes emerged from the black depths beyond the spiral arm and launched a sudden and overwhelming attack directly upon the uprising's command. Though many Space Marines fell in glory, the warlords of the Traitor factions were slain and the uprising fractured into a thousand localised rebellions which were soon put down by local forces. Subsequent Inquisitorial studies claimed that these Space Marines were drawn from several Chapters, including the Angels of Absolution, Minotaurs, Carcharodons and Death Eagles. Other evidence however, including their estimated Founding and projected deployment dates, contradict these assertations, consigning the entire event to conjecture.The Invasion of Nova Sulis, The Plague of Unbelief (302.M36) - During the wars that marked the beginning of the Plague of Unbelief during the Age of Apostasy, the Angels of Absolution were one of the first Space Marine Chapters who took up arms against the mad Cardinal Bucharis and his splinter empire based at Galthamor. The Angels of Absolution fought alongside such notable Chapters as the Executioners, the Raven Guard and the Space Wolves at various points during the conflict.Archangel VII Persecution (Unknown Date.M41) - The Angels of Absolution's 2nd Company and the Dark Angels' Ravenwing worked in concert together to deadly effect at Archangel VII, tracking down a small band of Fallen Dark Angels and their followers at the death world's northern pole. A joint strike of Deathwing and the Angels of Absolution's 1st Company Veterans assaulted their fortress. The battle raged fully for two days, as the enemy proved to be well ensconced within their nigh impregnable walls. The two Chapters lost a combined dozen Terminators before the fortress could be breached. Encountering three of the Fallen, one was slain in battle whilst the remaining two were seized and taken back to the Rock to be subjected to the brutal ministrations of the Dark Angels' Interrogator-Chaplains.Corinth Crusade (698-705.M41) - The Chapter participated in the Corinth Crusade against the Orks of the Charadon Empire led by the Warlord Skargor the Despoiler. Alongside elements from 5 other Space Marine Chapters and 50 full Regiments of the Imperial Guard, the Crusade drove WAAAGH! Skargor back to the world of Corinth and ultimately an Ultramarines Dreadnought killed the Ork Warlord in single combat. This Crusade pushed back the later invasion of Imperial space by the Charadon Orks' WAAAGH! Argluk by 30 standard years.The Siege of Vraks (830.M41) - On special request of the Dark Angels' Supreme Grand Master Azrael, the Angels of Absolution sent a sizeable taskforce to aid in the final battle of the gruesome campaign that had been the Siege of Vraks. By 830.M41 only Vraks' citadel remained unconquered, but the Chaos Space Marines warbands had by then successfully summoned their daemonic allies, which made for a bloody last battle. Accompanied by Interrogator-Chaplain Belphegor of the Dark Angels -- who had already fought on Vraks nine years before during the Dark Angels' involvement in the Siege -- the Angels of Absolution sent their augmented 4th Company under Master Yafrir to Vraks with the twin goals of capturing the leader of the Alpha Legion known as Arkos the Faithless and the destruction of his redoubtable flagship, the Despoiler-class Battleship Anarchy's Heart. After heavy negotiations and only upon the acceptance of their terms did the Angels of Absolution take to the field. Chaplain Belphegor would lead a daring drop-pod assault within the Citadel precinct itself, concentrating their assault on the Basilica of Saint Leonis while Master Yafrir would lead an armoured column from the Cardinal Gate. With the Basilica's central gate taken by the Terminator-armoured veterans of the Angels of Absolution's 1st Company, both forces linked together before venturing in the rubblefield that was now the Basilica of Saint Leonis. Here the Faithless -- Arkos' warband -- awaited them, resolved to die fighting. Although surrounded and outgunned they did not run, holding their ground. Arkos himself succeeded in killing Master Yafrir before being overwhelmed by Chaplain Belphegor and taken prisoner. The Anarchy's Heart likewise succumbed to the vessels of the Angels of Absolution, and although they would mourn the loss of their Master, the Angels of Absolution had reached their goals and even surpassed them as they took no less than 15 prisoners from the Alpha Legion, a valuable source of information in their hunt for the Fallen.13th Black Crusade (999.M41) - Currently, the Angels of Absolution are wholly committed to stopping the 13th Black Crusade, and all ten companies are deployed in some fashion on those battlefields around the Eye of Terror as they seek to contain the aftereffects of Abaddon the Despoiler's latest assault upon the realm of Mankind. The Angels of Absolution have reported back to The Rock the confirmed presence of several members of the Fallen amongst the Forces of Chaos that emerged from the Eye with the Despoiler.Purge of Allhallow (Unknown Date.M42) - The population of the Angels of Absolution's homeworld of Allhallow suffered from a psychic plague. The Dark Angels, the Angels of Absolution's parent Chapter, worked secretly with the T'au Empire to purge its population before the disease could spread.
