The Stealth Redeemers were once a proud chapter of the emporers finest. May their souls find retribution

Overview
The Stealth Redeemers were once a proud chapter of loyal space marines serving the emporer. A few members of the inquisition sought to bring them down from their gained respect

History
A once proud space marine chapter loyal to the Emperor, the Stealth Redeemers were known and feared by the enemies of the Imperium due to their power armour’s abilities to blend into the night from which they always came to battle.

However numerous adversarial encounters with the Emperors most holy Inquisition forced the chapter closer and closer to the brink of annihilation, due the machinations of a number of inquisitors bent on the chapters fall from grace, or destruction.

So it was, in the wake of one such Inquisitorial orchestrated disaster that the chapter did cede from the Imperium of man, and shunned the light of the emperor forever more.

Taking with them what they could, a small number of frigates and what arms and material could be gathered on such short notice, they made preparation to give up their ancestral home world of Karvia V and strike out on their own. It was during this hasty preparations that an imperial strike force, headed by a number of Blood Ravens chapter vessels broke past the defenses of the home world of the Stealth Redeemers and struck their unprepared forces, killing and laying waste to all those who opposed them, reaping a heavy toll as they went and stealing whatever relics they could.

Only three frigates and a meagre handful of battle brothers, barely a company’s worth, of the Stealth Redeemers managed to break away from the slaughterhouse that had become their home world and make the jump to warp space.

The battered, beaten but unbowed survivors of the massacre swore a blood oath of vengeance against the Blood Ravens that day. Their first act of retaliation was to set course for a Blood Raven outpost, razing it with atomics and bombardment shells from high orbit, before descending and slaughtering the mortal populace and its meagre defences.

At the last, they cornered and besieged the Blood Ravens neophytes in their chapter outpost, taking from the eventual defeat of the Blood Ravens forces much in looted arms and even two Frigates that had been stationed in high anchor above the planet.

The Stealth Redeemers seemed to have vanished for a few years. When they returned into sight, multiple planets were razed by the broken chapter. It seemed as if their numbers grew in the time of their disappearance from barely a company's worth to a entire battalion.

It is theorized the growth in number was done through the means of forced recruitment and geneseed implantation.

Their fate, as of writing, remains unkown. Excerpt from “The book of Ex Extremis Oblitations – A known history of fallen sons of the emperor and their scions”, by Julius Aemos the 3rd circa 999.M41 +++[Book taken from the collection of Inquisitor Maxis, since declared excommunicate by her order ]+++
