remove blatant speculation. just because you can *infer* information from a source doesn't mean it should go in the article. words such as "likely", "rumour", etc. should be warning signs

The Blood Ravens have also become notable for engaging their [[Chaos Space Marines|heretic brethren]], with some of their most recent campaigns featuring heavy interaction against the forces of Chaos. Of particular import are the actions of the 3rd Company under [[Gabriel Angelos]] on the world of [[Tartarus]], where the Alpha Legion (as well as [[Orks|various]] [[Eldar|xenos forces]]) were combated<sup>3</sup>, the multi-company force commanded by [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Davian Thule]] who had to deal with [[Word Bearers]] interference during a complex mission primarily directed against a [[Necron]] threat on the world of [[Kronus]]<sup>4</sup>, and perhaps most critically, the failed [[Kaurava]] campaign commanded by Captain [[Indrick Boreale]], in which a full 5 Companies of the Blood Ravens were lost.<sup>5</sup>
This loss was a serious blow to the Chapter, robbing them of half their manpower in one defeat. This resulted in the Blood Ravens being forced to concentrate on building up their numbers and protecting their [[Recruiting Worlds]] for some time, although this period did not pass without serious incident. Multiple xenos theats - including a limited [[Tyranid]] invasion<sup>6</sup> - assailed the Chapter, which eventually found itself combating not only the heretics of the [[Black Legion]], but insidious heretical threats from within its own ranks<sup>7</sup>, which included betrayal by their Chapter Master [[Azariah Kyras]]<sup>1</sup>. In the aftermath of all these events, the Blood Ravens are considered a weakened force.<sup>1</sup>
