Background
Rogue Traders had discovered the Ullanor Empire early in the second century of the Great Crusade and the Imperium slowly became aware of the scale of the threat. Although the War Council considered devoting forces to roll back Waaagh!s led by Khork's lieutenants, the demands of the Ruavu Grun Xenocide - not to mention wars in other Segmentums - ruled out the kind of offensive that would be required to break the power of Ullanor.
Instead, the Imperium endured decades of what Gufarnus Altmakar called a "loathsome stalemate". Orkish Waaagh!s regularly emanated from the fortress-worlds of Ullanor, but Altmakar kept massive Imperial Army forces on hand to contain and repel the greenskins. After the death of the Father of the Army, keeping watch against the Orks fell to Alexandri of Rosskar, who had assumed the title of Regent while the Emperor led the final crusade against the Ruavu Grun. Alexandri began to deploy his own Silver Cataphracts in anti-Orkish operations, believing that any Ork who escaped was one who would have to be defeated once again.
