The War for Vigilus: A Desperate Struggle
Initial Chaos
In the depths of Hivesprawl Dontoria, a mysterious raid sparked a chain reaction of events that would shake the very foundations of the planet. As unknown attackers ravaged the lower levels, a strange vessel crashed into the center of the sprawl, unleashing the Gellerpox Infected upon the crowded streets. The situation quickly spiralled out of control as Death Guard forces emerged in the wake of the Infected, overwhelming the local Tempestus Scions and Arbitrators.
A Hero’s Intervention
Enter Marneus Calgar, legendary leader of the Ultramarines. Guided by the astral projection of Chief Librarian Tigurius, Calgar received a vision from Roboute Guilliman himself, ordering him to defend Vigilus at all costs. With Tigurius’ mental guidance, the Ultramarines braved the treacherous journey to Vigilus, overcoming countless challenges to arrive in time to turn the tide of the battle.
Purging the Council
Upon landing, Calgar swiftly purged the corrupt Aquilarian Council, executing Genestealer Cultists and ushering in a new era of leadership with the Vigilus Senate. Meanwhile, the Space Wolves fought to reclaim the precious water supply in Oteck Hivesprawl, only to be betrayed by the 14th Vigilant ‘Mourning Stars’ Artillery Regiment, who revealed themselves to be under Genestealer control.
Eldar Intervention
As the war raged on, the Eldar Craftworld of Saim-Hann became entangled in the conflict. Farseer Anvirr Keltoc foresaw a crucial turning point in the battle and convinced the Seer Council to aid him in assassinating Vannadan the Firebrand, a Tzeentchian Chaos Cult leader. Autarch Rhyloor and Spiritseer Qelanaris led a strike force to eliminate Vannadan, but their actions were misinterpreted by the Imperials, leading to a deadly confrontation.
Dark Eldar Raids
As the Imperials pursued the Craftworld Eldar, their Dark Eldar kin continued to wreak havoc across the planet. The Haemonculi Coven of The Altered, seeking revenge against the Ultramarines, led spectacular raids on Hyperia and Oteck hivesprawls, earning notoriety as the Carnivals of Pain.
Dontoria Firewall
In the midst of this chaos, the fate of Vigilus hung in the balance. The Imperials struggled to contain the spread of the Gellerpox Infected, while the Eldar and Dark Eldar forces vied for influence. As the war raged on, one thing was certain: only the strongest would survive the brutal conflict that had engulfed Vigilus.
