Never Sleeping, Ever Hungry

Never Sleeping, Ever Hungry is the name of an excoriation campaign conducted by the unforgiving Mortarchs Serpentia Space Marine Chapter against the infamous Red Corsairs Chaos Warband.

History
When the Red Corsairs were returning from a raid on an Imperial shipping lane they were ambushed as they made warp transition just outside of the infamous warp rift known as the Maelstrom. The ink-black and ivory cruiser appeared from the void of space as if expecting the incoming traitor's arrival. A fierce firefight erupted between the vessels and the Red Corsairs launched boarding craft in the hopes of securing another prize for Lord Blackheart's fleet. However, once aboard, the Corsairs found a very different battleground before them. The adamantium corridors and sealed bulkheads were left wide open allowing the traitor marines free access into the ship's structure, but filling each corridor and room, was a thick, grey fog that obscured all vision.

As the pirates spread throughout the ship, never once encountering enemy forces, they became more and more lost in the winding labyrinthine passageways of the vessel's structure, as all vox and auspex tools were jammed by an unknown frequency. As the puzzled traitors moved to secure the ship as best they could through the lifted cursed fog, it began -- a distant, hollow rattling. As one, the Mortarchs descended upon the trespassers, appearing from the gloom like revenant ghosts. What garbled cries were heard through the jamming static indicated the situation aboard -- the ship was still very much in the hands of the Loyalist Mortarchs -- and the raiding party was being slaughtered to a man. In a last ditch effort to destroy the enemy, the Red Corsairs vessel began to fire upon the ship again, only to be blindsided by the titanic arsenal of the Mortarchs' Mechanicus Ark Jormugundr. Within seconds, the Corsair ship was annihilated, and all trace of the heretics removed from the galaxy. The Mortarchs Serpentia followed suit and disappear without a trace.
