==Background==
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]]{{Fn|2}}. When they do fight alongside other Imperial forces, the Chapter communicates only when necessary and use their own cryptic battle tongue amongst themselves{{Fn|11}}. 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 in the latter half of [[M38]]{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|4}}{{Fn|7}}.

===Notable 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 [[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 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}}
