Galactic Turmoil: A Decade of War and Upheaval

The galaxy is ablaze with conflict, as the Imperium of Man struggles to maintain its grip on a chaotic universe. From the depths of space, Hive Fleets emerge to ravage entire star systems, leaving destruction and despair in their wake. The forces of Chaos, ever eager to exploit the turmoil, launch their own campaigns of terror and conquest.

Rebellion and Retribution

On the planet Rophanon, the ancient ruling class of nobility finds itself stripped of power and privilege as the Adeptus Terra converts the world into a retirement community for high-ranking clerks and a massive records storage facility. The council of Rophanon, enraged by this affront, instigates a rebellion that is swiftly crushed by Lord General Artemis Blythe. However, the arrival of Hive Fleet Leviathan soon renders the conflict moot, as the Tyranids destroy the planet and the Deathwatch delivers the Exterminatus.

Chapter Wars

The Fire Lords chapter descends upon Bellicas, intent on exterminating the Necrons who have desecrated the Emperor’s Swords. Meanwhile, the Dark Eldar noble Zorothriel captures Karanak on a hunt on the Daemon world Khornax, only to see his prize break free and slaughter everyone on board his warship.

Martyrdom and Sacrifice

Canoness Praxedes of the Order of Our Martyred Lady distinguishes herself on the cardinal world of Okassis, fighting against Hive Fleet Kraken alongside the Imperial Guard. Though mortally wounded, she buys crucial time for the evacuation of the Ecclesiarchal Cathedral, allowing countless civilians and priests to escape.

Tyranid Onslaught

Hive Fleet Kraken continues its rampage, devastating hundreds of worlds and leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The Eldar Craftworld Iyanden is ravaged, and two Space Marine Chapters – the Scythes of the Emperor and the Lamenters – are all but wiped out.

Defending the Imperium

Marneus Calgar, Supreme Commander of the Defense of Ichar IV, leads a combined force of Space Marines, Imperial Guard, and alien Eldar against the Tyranid invaders from Hive Fleet Kraken. The battle rages on, with the outcome hanging precariously in the balance.

Chaos and Conquest

The forces of Chaos, meanwhile, pursue their own agendas of conquest and destruction. The Iron Warriors Warsmith Vhostok Pistonhand seizes control of Diesos, manufacturing countless daemon engines to further the Ruinous Powers’ goals. The Tau Empire and Imperium of Man clash over Nimbosa, while the Ork Warlords Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka and Nazdreg launch a daring attack on the power plant of Kadillus Harbour.

A Decade of War

As the decade draws to a close, the galaxy remains embroiled in conflict and upheaval. The Imperium of Man, beset on all sides by threats both internal and external, struggles to maintain its dominance over a chaotic universe. The forces of Chaos, the Tyranids, and the Orks continue to wage their wars of conquest, leaving destruction and despair in their wake.
