==Engagements=='''Jeghan Revolt:''' - At the beginning of the 41st Millennium, the hive world of [[Jeghan]] revolted against the [[Imperium]] in reaction to the extent of the tithes placed upon their soldiers in order to supply the campaigns against the [[Great Tyrant of Jagga]] with manpower. Led by subversive elements of the population, this small matter dissent turned into full blown rebellion. The '''Knights of the Raven''' acted quickly, crushing all resistance except for the power base in '''Jeghan Hive Secundus.''' However, the Knights of the Raven soon found themselves caught in a lengthy siege against a well prepared and dug-in enemy. To break the siege, a clever tactic was devised by an unknown battle brother which required the efficient and expert use of [[Land Raider Redeemer]]'s. Named the Hellstorm combine-fire tactic, it required the simultaneous firing of multiple [[Flamestorm Cannon]] of several Redeemer's against a single target point. No matter how well protected, nothing was found capable of withstanding the heat, and within weeks, the rebels surrendered.{{Fn|5}} [[Achilus Crusade]]: - A small sub-company task force of Adeptus Astartes from the Knights of the Raven arrived unannounced in the Jericho Reach via the Jericho-Maw Warp Gate and fought and aided other Imperial forces for 3 years since their arrival. It appears that the Knights of the Raven have taken it up themselves as their solemn duty to serve in the Achilus Crusade, as their honour demands it. Since the time of their arrival, a small number of Knights of the Raven Battle Brothers have taken the [[Apocryphon Oath]] and have taken up a place in the [[Long Watch]], again as a matter of honour to do their part in service to the crusade.{{Fn|4}} [[Zeist Campaign]]: - The Knights of the Raven answered the call from [[Marneus Calgar]] with 3 full battle companies to aid in the campaign against the [[Tau]], in order to repay a debt incurred some twelve centuries earlier.{{Fn|3c}} At one some point, they come the Knights of the Raven came to blows with brother marines Astartes from the [[Aurora Chapter]] and the over an unknown matter. The [[Lord of Macragge]], [[Marneus Calgar]] of the [[Ultramarines]] Chapter had to step in and take action in order to end the conflict. As penance, the '''Knights of the Raven''' Chapter is currently engaged in an arduous deployment of hit-and-run attacks against [[Hive Fleet]] [[Kraken]].³{{Fn|3a}}
