Angels of Redemption - Notable Campaigns: The Forgotten Wars (580.M31-632.M32) - During an unspoken period of their history, referred to as the Forgotten Wars, rumours lead the Dark Angels, along with three of their Successor Chapter, the Angels of Redemption, the Angels of Vengeance and the Lions Sable, to embark upon a harrowing campaign to track down multiple Fallen. The clues lead them through Segmentum Obscurus, deep into the Gothic Sector, and eventually into the Eye of Terror itself. In hindsight it is easy to see that the Ruinous Powers baited the Dark Angels. Only the Dark Angels' irrepressible resolve allowed them to escape, and they paid a high price in casualties. The Lions Sable was completely annihilated. To cover up their immediate losses after their warriors were thought lost to the Warp, the resources of the recruiting world of the Lions Sable -- the ebon orb of Nachwald -- were usurped to replenish the Angels of Vengeance and the Angels of Retribution. The Dark Angels staged a false plasma explosion aboard the Rock to explain their loss of records, for it was decided by the Inner Circle to destroy all records relating to the event. Of the Forgotten Wars, the Dark Angels do not speak, nor has it entered into the apocryphal tales told to their initiates. They have gone to great lengths to ensure all references to that campaign or to the Lions Sable have been stricken from the records available to the Adeptus Terra. Deep in the dungeons of the Rock are secreted the only remaining accounts, and only those of the Inner Circle ever learn of that heroic sacrifice that must forever go untold.The Redwings of Redemption (Unknown Date.M32) - Aided by the vast armouries of the The Rock, the Angels of Redemption restructured and re-equiped their 1st and 2nd Companies -- the Redwings -- in emulation of the Dark Angels' Deathwing and Ravenwing. The other Successor Chapters soon followed suit.Saviour of Praxus (997.M33) - The Angels of Redemption found sedition upon one of their own recruiting worlds. The notorious Fallen Cypher, under the guise of the Saviour of Praxus, had been manipulating recruiting practices, hand-selecting and training the feral warriors to increase their chances of being chosen. He escaped before he could be apprehended.Defence of Gaitlinghive (Unknown Date.M41) - The Angels of Redemption abandoned their post beside seven brigades of Gaitlinghive militia just before the final assault by a horde of three million Orks to capture a Fallen Angel. This resulted in the fall of Gaitlinghive and the massacre of all its remaining people by the triumphant Greenskins. The Chapter was never called to account for its actions, as there were no survivors to press any form of formal inquiry to the Imperium. The Angels of Redemption had forsaken their duties to begin a hunt that led them to capture a particularly notorious Fallen Angel, the former Dark Angels Legion's Captain Baalakai.Brother Against Brother (Unknown Date.M36) - Still operating largely in the Segmentum Pacificus, the Dark Angels took a lead role in the fierce fighting that characterised the era known as the Cataclysm of Souls. In addition to putting down all who rejected the High Lords of Terra and the Ecclesiarchy, they searched for signs of the Fallen. Although the Unforgiven Chapters are seen as loyal by the wider Imperium, many dark rumours tell of the Angels of Redemption abandoning their duties to pursue their own veiled missions.Achilus Crusade - Sepulchre Sigma Incident (811.M41) - A combined Angels of Redemption force consisting of elements of the Chapter's 1st and 2nd Companies deployed to the Jericho Reach in 811.M41, though not at the request of the Crusade's High Command. The force made orbit around Fortress Spite, and several of the Chapter's officer cadre including an Interrogator-Chaplain demanded entry into the dungeons of Sepulchre Sigma. Refusing entry to the Space Marines, a short, brutal firefight ensued. Thirty enlisted men and three senior officers were killed. The Space Marines finally emerged three days later, several of their number bearing a stasis-casket, and returned to their vessel. The Angels of Redemption then departed Fortress Spite, without explanation, and were last seen heading towards the Hadex Anomaly.Third War for Armageddon (998.M41) - The Angels of Redemption participated in the Third War for Armageddon. When the Ork Warboss Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka led a second unsuccessful WAAAGH! against that crucial Hive World, the Angels of Redemption committed 4 companies to the conflict. During its operations on Armageddon, the Chapter's forces were redirected to the homeworld of the Imperial Guard's Monglor Ogryn Auxilia in order to put down an insurrection by the indigenous Ogryn population.13th Black Crusade (999.M41) - The Angels of Redemption sought to help defend the Cadian Sector from the assault of Abaddon the Despoiler's 13th Black Crusade.War of Beasts (ca. 001-025.M42) - The Angels of Redemption deployed 1 company in a force comprised of other Unforgiven Chapters to aid the defence of the strategically important world of Vigilus from assault by xenos and Chaos foes.Invasion of the Stygius Sector (Unknown Date.M42) - The Angels of Redemption participated in the unsuccessful defence of the Stygius Sector from an invasion by the forces of the Blood God Khorne.
