781.M31 – 1st Black Crusade of Abaddon the Despoiler

C.M32 – Vengeance from the Void

Across a hundred scattered systems in the western marches of the Segmentum Solar, cult uprisings led by a core of Chaos Space Marine warbands drawn from the Iron Warriors, Night Lords and World Eaters Traitor Legions bring entire planetary governments to their knees in a year of blood and anarchy. With whole sectors on the brink of collapse, events take a dramatic turn when a combined force of the Adeptus Astartes emerges from the black depths beyond the spiral arm and launches a sudden and overwhelming attack directly upon the uprising’s high command. Though many Space Marines fall in glory, the warlords of the Traitor factions are slain and the uprising fractures into a thousand localised rebellions which are soon put down by local forces. Subsequent Inquisitorial studies claim that these Space Marines are drawn from several Chapters, including the Minotaurs, Carcharodons, Death Eagles and Angels of Absolution. Other evidence however, including their estimated Founding and projected deployment dates, contradicts these assertions, consigning the entire event to conjecture.

860.M33 – The Pentarchy of Blood
During the War of the False Primarch, a dark and bloody episode of the Imperium’s history, now largely lost to myth and purged from the record, which plunged the Segmentum Pacificus into anarchy, the Pentarchy of Blood was convened by the High Lords of Terra to enact their judgement. Five Chapters; the Red Talons, the Death Eagles, the Carcharodons, the Flesh Eaters and the Charnel Guard are used to systematically destroy eleven Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes judged Traitoris Perdita and lay waste to their home worlds, finally drawing the eight decade conflict to a close.

THE GROWTH OF WAAAGH! GARAGHAK FORSARR SECTOR, SEGMENTUM TEMPESTUS

‘Most benevolent Lord of the Administratum I beseech thee… for over seventy years the Emperor’s divine rule over the Forsarr sector of Segmentum Tempestus has been threatened and harassed by a growing Ork menace – the Arch-Killa Garaghak, name him not, the cruellest of foes, may his name be forever cursed. Even now, these unholy xenos sit upon the Cardinate throne of the holy shrine of Magdelene IX, blaspheming His name with their foul presence. As I write, Ork foot soldiers are barracked in the ruins of our once glorious hive cities. Our faithful citizens are enslaved to his alien will. How long must we endure these torments? How many more worlds must fall before this green-fiend’s soldiery? How many loyal citizens must be sacrificed before the enemy’s cruel reign is halted? Send us stoic soldiers of the Imperial Guard. Send us legions of the faithful Adeptus Sororitas. Send us your most revered Adeptus Astartes. Send us your aid… in the Emperor’s name, preserve us, your most faithful servants.’

Garaghak…
