Red Corsairs - Notable Campaigns: Gildar Rift (998.M41) - The Chapter fleet of the Loyalist Silver Skulls Astartes encounters and destroys a Red Corsairs strike force comprising several Executor-class Grand Cruisers. The surviving Renegades made planetfall on several planets in the Gildar System including the primary world in the system, Gildar Secundus, but the Silver Skulls were not to be thwarted so easily. In a matter of weeks, the Gildar System was declared free of the Red Corsairs' influence.Fall of Vilamus (999.M41) - In 999.M41, Huron Blackheart of the Red Corsairs hatched a plan to steal large amounts of Astartes gene-seed alongside the Night Lords warband led by the Chaos Champion called The Exalted to create new Chaos Space Marines to refill the Renegades' ranks, which had been depleted by the Badab War. The Marines Errant's fortress-monastery of Vilamus, created by the fleet-based Chapter to serve as a secure base for its gene-seed repository, was targetted due to its relatively small garrison size. Luring the bulk of the Chapter away from the world, the Red Corsairs managed to disable the fortress' Void Shields and launched a determined assault that neutralised the fortress-monastery's power network and its automated defences. This attack led to the loss of nearly all of the Marines Errant's stockpile of precious genetic material, dooming them to a long, slow demise as a Chapter, unless the gene-seed could be recovered. However, the Night Lords and the Red Corsairs soon fell upon each other as the Night Lords tried to reclaim one of their Strike Cruisers, the Echo of Damnation, and lay claim to all of the recovered gene-seed.Maelstrom Threat (980.999.M41) - A vast Chaos Space Marine fleet under the command of Huron Blackheart emerges from the Maelstrom and besieges the Chogoris, Kaelas and Sessec Systems. Rumours report Huron's force is as large as the Space Marine Legions of old, and several Loyalist Adeptus Astartes Chapters are tasked with its destruction. Splitting into reaving fleets, borne swiftly upon unnatural Warp currents that aid the Red Corsairs even as they confound the Loyalist ships hastening to intercept, the invasion fleets fall upon the worlds of the Yasan Sector with gleeful ferocity. Recognising the scale of the peril, and with his Stormseers reading dire prophecies in every omen, the White Scars Chapter Master Jubal Khan orders the recall of all White Scars forces to Chogoris. On Armageddon and across a dozen other war fronts, Astropaths vomit forth the distress cries of the White Scars' Chapter planet of Chogoris, and the Great Khan's sons among their successors answer. Yet with new Warp Storms boiling into being across the galaxy, their arrival becomes ever-more doubtful. The White Scars withdraw from their operations on Armageddon to meet this dire threat to their homeworld. They summon brotherhoods from as far away as the Damocles Gulf in order to meet this dire threat.Terran Crusade (ca. 999.M41) - Magnus the Red and the Greater Daemon of Tzeentch Kairos Fateweaver are able to recruit a large force of Red Corsairs to combat Roboute Guilliman as he makes his way to Terra from Ultramar to meet with his father the Emperor following the Primarch's resurrection on Macragge. The Red Corsairs ambush Guilliman's fleet and take both it and the Primarch captive aboard a Blackstone Fortress hidden in the Maelstrom that was gifted to them by Abaddon the Despoiler before the start of the 13th Black Crusade. Skarbrand and Khornate Daemons attack the Fortress seeking Guilliman's head, fighting the Red Corsairs as well. Eventually Guilliman and his warriors are freed by Cypher and Harlequins.Battle of Chogoris (Unknown Date.M42) - The opening of the Great Rift and the coming of the Noctis Aeterna occurs while the White Scars defend Chogoris from attack. The entire Yasan Sector falls to Huron Blackheart's attack, and when daemons manifest from the growing darkness, it seems the sons of Jaghatai Khan will be making their last stand. But one more fleet arrives before the stars go black. Arriving late from their war against the T'au in the Eastern Fringe, Kor'sarro Khan leads his 3rd Brotherhood and reinforcements from the White Scars' successors in an unexpected charge that breaks the Red Corsairs' blockade of the Khum Karta mountain range that surrounds Quan Zhou, the fortress-monastery of the White Scars, even as its ramparts are burning. With the return of the Master of the Hunt, the planet's defenders fight back with renewed hope, and the combined efforts of the Chapter's Stormseers drives back the malefic energies surrounding Chogoris, causing Huron Blackheart's daemonic allies to lose their physical form. The Heretics withdraw, falling back to strongholds elsewhere in the Yasan Sector and leaving Chogoris broken but unbowed.Fall of the Great Khan (Unknown Date.M42) - Seeking revenge for the severe damage inflicted on Chogoris, the Great Khan of the White Scars Chapter, Jubal, leads a daring attack upon Seethnar -- the vast space station seized by Huron Blackheart as a main dockyard for his piratical war fleets. In a swift naval attack, Seethnar is boarded from multiple locations, each war party racing into the void station and planting Melta Bomb charges. After brutal fighting, Jubal Khan and his Honour Guard reach Seethnar's heart and cause catastrophic damage to its Plasma Reactors, but become trapped by collapsing corridors. The Great Khan is captured alive by the Red Corsairs and horrifically tortured for many solar weeks before finally being rescued by a White Scars ambush from the Red Corsairs starship where he has been held prisoner. Despite his rescue, Jubal Khan's physical health is broken and he is no longer capable of taking part in White Scars combat operations.
