With various important systems besieged all across the Sector it came as a hammer blow to the Imperium’s war effort when Astropathic reports indicated that the Chaos Warhost had received various reinforcements across the main battlezones. Astropaths noted the arrival of flagships of the various Chaos gods, as well as their attendant escort ships. It seemed the Dark Gods had identified the Turbidious Sector ripe for conquest and had sent some of their most powerful warships. The Plague Fleets main line flagship ‘Nigrum Morte’ appeared over Askurn in the Lindholm Sub-sector as that world fell to the guns of the ruinous powers. The PDF forces stationed and the attendant Imperial fleet there were unable to prevent the loss of the planet. In fact the psychic screams heard the next system away by Imperial pyskers suggest the planets population had been utterly annihilated and turned into zombie servitude for the dark gods, a fate worse than death. The Omega Transport convoy was travelling a usually safe shipping lane with its attendant Sword class escort ‘Damocles’ in the Coinage Cluster when a Chaos Grand Cruiser lying in wait surged out from inside an asteroid field and ambushed the convoy. The plucky Damocles attempted to sell its life to protect the badly needed convoy but it along with four of the six guild ships were utterly destroyed by the ancient vessel. The Grand Cruiser could not be identified, with inaudible static and noise blaring out across all vox channels. The noise was enough to burst several servitors’ heads at their consoles before the vox units could be shut down. It is believed that the ships belong to the Lady Araberina fleet whose allegiance lay with She who thirsts. Also praying on merchant fleets inside The Veil was a single lone ship which Astropaths identified as ‘Anarchy Incarnate’. The merchant fleets that were attacked and stripped of their goods were left broken and lifeless shells, totally silent and devoid of life. Recovery teams didn’t find any trace of the crew aboard, no corpses, blood or signs of a struggle could be found. It was as if they had been cleaned. The crews who returned from the ships have all been put into Inquisition hands due to all complaining of something called ‘the silence’. The Arch Baron Lord Vanneus is thought to be behind several raids on outlying systems, as well as attacks on the shrine world of Queens Fall. The warlock’s forces were driven off but not before the great artefact called the Mirror of Origins had been stolen. The artefact is thought to contain a piece of soul that belonged to what the Eldar called ‘the Old Ones’. If those reports were not enough then the Astropathic message which crushed the fragile morale of some systems was the reports of the presence of the so called ‘Planet Killer’ in the Warmasters fleet. Attendant vessels escorted the behemoth ship. It is unknown at this stage if the ‘Planet Killer’ identified in Turbidious system is or has the same configuration as the ancient vessel that caused some much death in the galactic north.
With the arrival of these reinforcements, as well as other reported warp disturbances, the Chaos incursion into the Turbidious Sector is well under way.
