This is not an official work to any of the utilized franchises, and simply a side-story to my series of Fanfics. ------------------------ This story takes place concurrent to "The Ark of War", beginning at the chapter, "A new faction". The Darkness encroaches upon the sovereign-less Imperium, spreading its blasphemous tendrils all across known space and Imperial Occupied dimensions (other universes). Its Emperor-Forsaken legions cut a swathe through formerly safeguarded Imperial worlds, Allies, and Vassals either on the forefront of the conflict or even far-off civilizations formerly unaware of the Imperium and its millennia-long conflict with the Darkness, who now find themselves assailed by now free evils unimaginable, formerly contained behind the interdimensional, and formerly thought impervious, Cadian Network, a vast line of imperial fortress worlds now fallen . . . The Imperium's defenders are scattered, the Royal family in tatters after losing the Emperor, at least emotionally, and the overall population of the Imperium is filled with rage . . . Filled with purpose. While others cower, they stand. Against all the Evil the Darkness can conjure, the gods sent unto it only them Rip and Tear until it is done. Show the Darkness how we felled Chaos. How the Emperor beat its very own acolyte, Oryx, into submission. And finally, why it knows our people as the anathema to its existence.
