Your PATH TO GLORY IN THE GRIM DARK BEGINS HERE...
THE CICATRIX MALEDICTUM slices across the galaxy like an open wound, Chaos and uncertainty spreading across the system, effecting all of the sentient races. A now divided Imperium struggles to maintain control, the mysterious Aeldari seek to turn back the tides of Chaos to save their race no matter the cost, and the young Tau Empire continues its desire for expansion. Hordes of Orks and Tyranids scour the galaxy, looking to fight, or consume, anything in their path.
However, in the anarchy caused by the Great Rift, new opportunities have arisen. Warpstorms that have cut of worlds for millennia have been cleared by the passing of the Rift, providing new worlds rich with treasures to those who seek them. Istara is one such world. Obscured in the Ultima Segmentum region of the galaxy since before the Great Crusades by a host of warp anomalies, this ancient world is now a shining beacon on the other side of the rift. Rich in “Blackstone”, a newly discovered material that can either dampen, or enhance, the power of Chaos, has become of great interests to the great powers of the galaxy. As travel beyond the rift is difficult, the races have sent small, forward operative to establish footholds on the planet before committing large amounts of resources. The less “sophisticated” races are keenly aware of the gathering at Istara, and seek to partake in the fighting as well.
For twelve weeks the forces of the galaxy will strive to assert dominance over Istara, and plunder her precious resources. The story of this planet will be shaped by the generals who wage war on her surface, reaping not only terrestrial gains, but everlasting Glory.
