Editing Yu'Vath (section)

==History==
Prior to the arrival of the Imperium, the Yu'Vath had created an empire that dominated the Calyx Expanse, and possibly parts of the Koronus Expanse as well. They brutally destroyed and/or enslaved almost every other species they came across. It is confirmed that they were warp-worshipers, and many of their weapons and strategies depended on sorcery to function, to the point that a baseline human might go insane just looking at their warp-infested ships.

The Imperium's arrival meant bad news for the Yu'Vath though, since [[warp]] + alien = DOUBLE [[HERESY]]! During the Angevin Crusade, it was reported that an unusually high number of [[exterminatus]] attacks were carried out, mostly due to the inevitable taint of [[Chaos]] after millennia of warp-worship. Further exploration and the continuation of the campaign revealed that, while the Yu'Vath had a vast number of slaves, there were also not quite as many inhabited planets as initially believed, which made the [[Ordo Xenos]] think that this species had been on the decline for millennia. Yu'Vath ruins are still occasionally discovered on uninhabited planets, which further supports this theory.

By the end of the Angevin Crusade the worlds of the Yu'Vath and their xenos subjects were all destroyed, along with most of their technology.
