Engagements

Charadon crusade

In 698.M41 the Chapter was part of a combined Space Marine force led by Marneus Calgar, consisting of the Angels of Absolution, Lamenters, Silver Skulls, and the Ultramarines. During this seven year crusade the force inflicted a series of major defeats on the Ork empire of Charadon which delayed the invasion of Waa-Argluk for thirty years.

Badab War

In 904 M41, during the Badab War, the Marines Errant were recalled from the Eastern Fringe to reinforce the Fire Hawks Chapter. However, they soon found themselves fully occupied protecting Imperial ships in transit.²

Fall of Vilamus

In the last years of M41, Huron Blackheart of the Red Corsairs set out to steal large amounts of gene-seed. Vilamus, the fortress-monastery of the Marines Errant, became a target due to their relatively small garrison, subsequently losing nearly all of their gene-seed.³
