{{RavenGuardPortal}}[[Image:RG6.jpg|thumb|right|Insignia of the 6th Company{{Fn|15}}]]The '''6th Company''' of the [[Raven Guard]], known as the '''''"The Darkened Blades"''''', is a one of the [[Chapter]]'s [[Space Marine Company|Company]] of the [[ChapterReserve Companies]].{{Fn|11a}}{{Fn|1b}}{{Fn|5}}
Unlike the Reserve Companies in other Chapters, the 6th of the Raven Guard is not tasked with reinforcing Battle Companies on campaign. Instead it is tasked with a specific purpose: to infiltrate enslaved worlds and deliver them anew into the Imperial fold. Taking true to [[Corax]]'s upbringing as a liberator of slaves, the 6th will move against tyrannical regimes and aid in an uprising by the downtrodden. Their targets range from [[Chaos]] warlords, to [[Genestealer Cult]]s to the [[Tau]]. Sometimes they are even tasked with eliminating overly greedy or callous [[Imperial]] [[Governor]]s. While sometimes utilizing overwhelming assault, the 6th's most favored favoured method of liberation is that of disinformation and guerrilla warfare while training local resistance fighters.{{Fn|11b}}
