The '''Angels of Redemption''' is a [[Successor Chapter]] of the [[Dark Angels]], created during the [[Second Founding]].{{Fn|2}}
==Background==
They are almost as famous as their progenitors, but are known to quickly abandon war efforts, at grievous cost to their allies, in favour of hunting the [[Fallen]]. As such, most [[Imperial]] forces refuse their help, which causes some conflict with [[Space Marines]] of other Chapters{{Fn|44b}}. The Angels of Redemption's numerous abandonments of their assigned tasks, eventually led to calls for the Chapter to be censured by the [[Inquisition]], but this been forestalled due to the opening of the [[Great Rift]]. The giant [[Warp Storm]] has prevented reports of the Angels of Redemption's further misdeeds from reaching [[Terra]], which has allowed the most dedicated of the [[Unforgiven Chapter]]s to continue their secret quest to hunt the Fallen.{{Fn|9a}}
===Notable Battles===
*Defence of [[Gatlinghive]]: The Angels of Redemption abandoned their posts just before the [[Orks]]' final assault, to capture the [[Fallen]] [[Baalakai]], a former [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]]. This resulted in the fall of Gatlinghive and the massacre of all the remaining humans.{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|6a}}
*[[Third War for Armageddon]]: The '''Angels of Redemption''' committed 4 [[Space Marine Company|companies]] to the Third War, during which they were redirected to the homeworld of the [[Monglor Ogryn Auxilia]] in order to put down an insurrection by the indigenous [[Ogryn]] population.{{Fn|1}}
*[[Achilus Crusade]]: A force composed of members of the 1st and 2nd companies were deployed into the [[Jericho Reach]] in 811.[[M41]], without any request from the high command of the crusade. They arrived at [[Fortress Spite]], [[Ebongrave]]’s seat of power, and demanded entry into the dungeons of [[Sepulchre Sigma]]. The guards' refusal to allow entry led to a short firefight, resulting in the Space Marines slaying 33 men and leaving for the [[Hadex Anomaly]] after retrieving a stasis-casket from the dungeons.{{Fn|44b}}
*[[Battle of the Caliban System]]{{Fn|13}}
*[[13th Black Crusade]].{{Fn|8}}
