Fourth Quadrant Rebellion

The Chapter deployed in full strength during the Fourth Quadrant Rebellion, playing a crucial role in crushing the insurrection.[3]

This splinter had been involved in the Octarius War, however, and the Ork-fed Tyranids inflicted horrific losses on the Chapter, before shattering their Fortress Monastery. The Red Wolves were forced to retreat and, after securing vital stocks of their Gene-seed, they evacuated from Bloodfall in their remaining Battle Barges.[4]
