History
The Ruby Crescents kept a garrison in Redmoon Keep on the Imperial world Camarth. After the Great Rift isolated Camarth in the Imperium Nihilus, the Ten Thousand Eyes warband invaded and ruined it. Its master Seraphax wanted the Crescents for his Bloodrage Project and had nine captured Marines drained of blood. Lion El'Jonson later killed them when they succumbed to the Red Thirst.
Notes
The people of Camarth greatly honoured the garrison. The gene-seed curses were the target of the Bloodrage Project: Seraphax wanted to unleash the hidden ferocity of Sanguinius' sons.
Additional Information

The garrison on Camarth was destroyed; the fate of the Chapter as a whole is not stated.
