Thats exactly right

I know that most space marine chapters are xenophobic but the Red Scorpions take it to the next level by not even trusting allied IG forces as well as other space marine chapters.

The Red Scorpions are indeed mysterious but i can't place which legion they seem to be from. None of the legions were so xenophobic as they are tbh

Sorry man but all Legions and Chapters are xenophobic and only reluctantly act in concert with Tau or Eldar (only if they have to fight bigger threats that would overwhelm each power individually aka major chaos incursions or f.e. a Nid splinter or major Waaaghs. They also have no problem of killing their erstwhile allies afterwards.

Virtually all Space Marine forces in the galaxy has committed genocide of Xenos species when asked to do so (of when they fouind xenos posessing sth that the imperium wants)

The Emperor himself said at the beginning of the great crusade that no xenos should be suffered to live (as we see f.e. in the discussion about the interex among the Lunar wolves command structure in "horus rising".

Or in the excourse of the emperor's children about perfection of the human form (when lucius uses a megarachnid limb as wepaon or when fabius talks about improving the gene-seed"

I think Shingster meant that the Red Scorpions are so crazy about their xenophobia that they treat even other space marine chapters with suspicion and scorn depending on their parent gene seed (or lack of identification of said gene seed) and are even more hateful towards mutants than your average space marine.
