Editing Red Scorpions (section)

==Campaigns==
Forge World has created a rather neat history for them, that while nowhere near as complete as the one [[First Founding|more popular chapters]] enjoy, is still deserving of some mention:

*'''The Berillia Massacres''' - The Shining Blades chapter turns renegade and renames itself [[The Flawless Host]]. They spend short of a century harassing and pillaging isolated imperial outposts until they decide to a assault a Red Scorpions [[Space Marine Strike Cruiser|strike cruiser]] and use the geneseed of the dead to bolster their ranks. Upon learning of this, the Scorpions recalled all of their companies to the sector where the Flawless Host was located and proceeded to beat the ever loving shit out of the Slaaneshi warband. The renegades swear to exact vengeance upon all those that dare tarnish their [[Pretty Marines|bishounen glory]]. This is the chapter's earliest recorded action, taking place in M34.
*'''Helios Campaign''' - The Red Scorpions are tasked with cleansing the world of Helios from [[Chaos Cults]]. Their paranoid asses cannot stand the idea of relying on the [[Astra Militarum|imperial guard]] for fire support, so they decide to create the [[Land Raider#Helios Pattern (Forge World)|Land Raider Helios]] instead.
*'''Second Aegisine Crusade''' - The chapter spearheads a [[Drop Pod]] assault upon a Forge World held by the [[Dark Mechanicus]] in order to secure a landing zone for their allied [[Imperial Knight|knight house]] and [[Titan (Warhammer 40,000)|Titan legion]] to safely deploy. For nineteen hours the Chapter was forced to defend the foetid swamps of the landing zone against hordes of Darkmech troops and [[Daemon Engine]]s, [[Awesome|but they refused to break]]. Once the war was over and the scorpions were taking their leave, Knights and Titans lined the route taken by the Red Scorpions as they marched to the landing zones, [[Awesome|bowing to them in homage as they passed by]].
*'''Ordon Rift Crusade''' - The Red Scorpions get lost while exploring the dangerous Ordon Rift region and nothing is heard from then in more than 300 years, leading the [[Adeptus Terra]] to believe the Chapter was done for. Turns out they found out the rift was a cozy place and established their [[Fortress-Monastery]] in the orbit of the feral world of Zaebus Minoris. Where exactly this place is located differs depending on the galaxy map and the 40k editions, but it's somewhere around [[Sisters of Battle|Ophelia]], [[Krieg]], [[Ambull|Luther McIntyre]], and [[Mortifactors|Posul]]. This is to be expected, for in their usual paranoia, the Scorpions have kept its exact location and routes largely secret.
*'''The Crucible of Endikon IX ''' - Oh boi, where do we even start with this one. Endikon IX was a hive world that had suffered for decades the attacks of [[Eldar Corsairs]]. When the reinforcements finally arrived, the resulting void battle between the Xenos and the [[Imperial Navy]] destroyed most of the imperial guard's troop carriers. As a means to counter the lack of manpower, the [[Raptors (Chapter)|Raptors]] suggested engaging the Eldar in a series of hit-and-run strikes to wear down their forces. But the Scorpions, in their infinite wisdom, refused to have any part of what they deemed [[Lawful Stupid|"cowardice in the face of the enemy"]] and proceeded to initiate a full drop assault [[Leeroy Jenkins|without any support]]. The Imperium eventually won the battle but the Scorpions lost [[FAIL|67 out of the 83 battle-brothers that participated in the mission]], as opposed to the Raptors who only lost a handful of brothers in [[Just As Planned|a protracted harrying campaign to eliminate the remaining Aeldari]]. Despite this, the Red Scorpions [[Tales of Fail|proudly list Endikon IX amongst their greatest battle honours]].
*'''[[Vraks|Siege of Vraks]]''' - During the final phases of the conflict, the Scorpions donated a hundred Marines (from various companies) to the cause. [[Carab Culln]] himself would place the teleport homer that allowed the Terminators of the 1st Company to secure the [[Death Korps of Krieg]] a breach in the final defensive wall. As the tide of the war turned in the favour of Chaos, the Scorpions were recalled as part of the forces sent by the Imperium to finish the job. They led the assault on one of the Citadel's main gates, and later were tasked with cleansing the apostate cardinal's palace once the imperials had established a foothold inside.
*'''The Amphelion project''' - The Adeptus Mechanicus decide that it would be a good idea to keep a zoo of Tyranids on Beta Anphelion IV in order to study them. Contact is, naturally, lost and Inquisitor Solomon Lok of the Ordo Xenos gathers up some Red Scorpions and Detachment D-99 of the [[Elysian Drop Troops]] to investigate. Jurassic Park IN SPESSS ensues, and the Marines escape while leaving Lok and the Guard to die horribly. Though in the Scorpions defense, Lok attempted to leave Culln for dead at Amphelion and threatened the chapter when they [[Noblebright|refused to leave the planet without him.]] Wait, then what's the justification for leaving the Guardsmen to die? (They are just guardsmen, duh?)
*'''[[Badab War]]''' - You know this one: [[Lugft Huron]] declares independance from the [[High Lords of Terra]], and a fuckton of chapters are sent his way to remind him why that is not a thing. [[Carab Culln]] leads the loyalists to victory against the Tyrant of Badab, and for their service, the High Lords reward the Red Scorpions with a "Vexilla Imperialis". This fancy banner quickly becomes one of the chapter's most prized relics and is given to [[Sirae Karagon]].
*'''[[Indomitus Crusade]]''' - The Red Scorpions join [[Roboute Guilliman]]'s damage control efforts in the aftermath of the [[Great Rift]]. At some point during the crusade, Culln is mortally wounded by a Tyranid known as "The Great Beast of [[Sarum]]" and is entombed inside a Leviathan Dreadnought. [[Casan Sabius]] becomes the Red Scorpions new Chapter Master.
