The '''Knights of the Raven''' are a [[CodexChapter]].{{Fn|2}} [[Space Marine]] [[chapter]].

==Basic InfoBackground==The '''Knights of the Raven''' have a mysterious background, with only a scant few details known about them within the ranks of the [[Adeptus Astartes]], [[Deathwatch]], and the [[Inquisition]]. Due only to the coincidence of similar iconography and title, the Knights of the Raven are assumed to be a chapter founded during a [[Later Founding]] using [[Raven Guard]] gene-stock.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|4}}

===Notablve 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 [[tithe]]s 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]]s of several Redeemers 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 three years since after their arrival. It appears that the Knights of the Raven have taken it up upon 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 three 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 some point, the Knights of the Raven came to blows with Astartes from the [[Aurora Chapter]] over an unknown matter. The [[Lord of MacraggeMarneus Calgar]], Marneus Calgar of the [[Ultramarines]] Chapter, had to step in and take action intervene 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]].{{Fn|3a}}
