In 913.998.[[M41]], marines from the 4th and 5th companies engaged [[Chaos Space Marines]] of the [[Angels of Pain]] chapter as they raided the [[Trantation]] Station. After a running battle that lasted several days, the Red Scimitars defeated the renegades and forced them to retreat, but not before they vindictively bombarded the planet with a barrage of seismic missiles and [[virus bomb]]s that rendered it uninhabitable for centuries.{{Fn|2}}
==Other details==
Everyone newly assigned marine of the Red Scimitars after he was gifted with the battleplate began to wrote his own poem which he scripted upon the chestplate of his power armour, adding details with every following victory and deed. Some of the older suits of the Red Scimitars were so heavy with the scripts that appeared to painted wholly black from a distance. When a marine died and the power armour were passed to next young successor, he was inspired with the victories of old, adding his own deeds to the Chapter's history.{{Fn|3}}
