Their Homeworld
The Blood Ravens have no official homeworld, instead, their Fortress/Monastery is situated onboard a Battle Barge known as Omnis Arcanum, which is also home to their Librarium Sanctorum. The rest of the chapter serves onboard the fleet of Strike Cruisers and Battle Barges.

According to Dawn Of War 2, most of the Blood Raven's recruits come from the planet Calderis in subsector Aurelia. They also used to recruit from the nearby world of Meridian, but none of the recruits passed the Blood Trials. Thaddeus is the first Space Marine to come from Meridian in several centuries, having been recruited from the street gangs he lead by Captain Davian Thule. It is repeatedly said that the loss of Calderis would cripple and eventually kill the Blood Ravens Chapter, and the defense of subsector Aurelia is considered important enough to mobilize the Blood Raven 3rd and 4th Company.

The 3rd Company of the Blood Ravens commonly sought new recruits from the planet of Cyrene (also in subsector Aurelia) until Captain Gabriel Angelos had it destroyed with an Exterminatus. The true purpose for this has never been told outright, but it merely hinted at in the game Dawn of War and the novel of the same name by CS Goto. According to the novel, taints of Chaos had been found in the planet's population.

Contribution to the Dark Crusade
The Blood Ravens came to Kronus on hearing that the Chaos Space Marines were hiding there. On Arrival they realised that The planet was filled with aliens and Heritics they decided that the planet needed purging. Also the planet had The Imperial Guard wanting to claim the planet for the imperium. Neither Army would back down to allow the other to unleash their full army. So in the end Captain Davian Thule declared war on the forces of The Imperial Guard on Kronus. With no allys the Blood Ravens realised taking Kronus will be harder than they thought
