It's a strong possibility & seems to be the most popular theory but is not a certainty by any means. If the Thousand Suns aren't the Blood Ravens progenitors then there are 4 other possibilities 1) the Alpha Legion - though the Alpha's aren't as powerful in psionics as the Thousand Suns they are well known for their hunger for knowledge 2 & 3) The Blood Angels or the Raven Guard - due to the name of the Blood Ravens & 4) Some kind of merging of the Blood Angel & Raven Guard geneseed - this is the most theoretical possibility that the Blood Ravens were some sort of experiment by the mechanicum or by the Blood Angels & Raven Guard themselves to try merging their respective geneseed to try and counter the problems both legions had that was canceled & covered up for some reason at a later date. The 4th possibility is the least likely but would be the most interesting & you could spend ages coming up with all sorts of stories for the why's & wherefore's like perhaps Corax was behind the scheme to try to find a cure for the mutated Raven Guard he felt responsible for & roped in the Blood Angels after fining out about their problem but the result, though creating the Blood Ravens from new neophytes, didn't result in a cure for either legions respective marines. A hairy dog story I know but the what if really gets the imagination running & would make a great story.
