''"JUST DON'T LET THEM TOUCH ANY OF OUR RELICS! Tell them they are all haywired with explosives."'' - Brother Chaplain Nathaniel of the Rum Grails. Excerpt from "Meeting of Chapters", Chapter 21, [[Blood Ravens]]

A few decades after the Battle of Maria’s Bulwark, activities of non-Imperial forces rose to the point that even with the Black Locks’ active aid, the Colonial Fleets were strained to their limits in places that were marked as those of constant xenos and heretic activities. Even the Colonial Regiments, despite their courage and determination, barely could contain Ork Waaagh!!!'s and Eldar raids. The Inquisition also had much work with hidden cults and sudden rebellions in the slums arenas on certain planets. 

There were also rumours of Tau expeditions that arrived to the Calico Stars and were probing the Colonies’ defences. To add more olive to the fireplace, there rose additional rumours of new Chaos Warbands appearing, some even deep in Colonial spaces (not to mention the fact that Captain Jones and the Hearts of Corruption re-emerged with a sizeable fleet and that the Hereteks of Fleet Ferro came back aiding him). The Eldar of Ill-Zanath yet again bursted into activity and targeted trade and supply line.

There was also the fact that there appeared reports of the Mobian Terror re-surfacing with a newly formed fleet. Some theorized that the monstrosity retreated decades ago to the areas near the Abyss and preyed on smaller void monsters to build up its force.

As if that wasn’t enough, another threat appeared on the horizon as two systems were taken over near the Abyss by beings known as Necrons. Two rivalling dynasties awakened and started to expand into the Neutral Zones that border with said Abyss that remained unclaimed and with most of those between Port Royalty and Saint Juan controlled spaces. The first, called the Tykran Dynasty, only expanded into the worlds that were not controlled by the Colonies and heavily entrenched and fortified themselves. The second, the Zakhran Dynasty, revealed themselves to be aggressive expansionists that not only took over the other worlds in the Neutral Zones, but also Colonies and enslaved their populations. The good thing about this situation is that both are fighting each other. Or to be more precise, the latter Dynasty wants the first one annihilated. This would also the reason why the Zakhran Dynasty conquered so many worlds and suddenly stopped.

Due to these facts, the Colonial Lords decided to call in for reinforcements from neighbourhood sectors since the situation was becoming too straining despite their force’s best efforts. Space Marine Chapters such as the Space Wolves and Ultramarines answered the call as both send a single company. Even the Novamarines send reinforcements despite that in the past, they were not on good terms with the Black Locks due to an incident involving some of the marines going into a fight between each other over Venerable Kastor (the Novamarines insulted him due to non-Codex actions and the Lads didn’t take it well). Soon many more Chapters send in companies of their own to aid the Calico Colonies.

Of the Imperial Guard, many such regiments like the Catachans and Krieg Death Korps appeared, followed by the likes of Elysians and Vostroyans. The regiments quickly adapted to the Colonies, among them the Catachans were the ones that were the quickest to do so. Now they are fighting along the Space Marine Companies and the people of the Colonies.

What future lies for the Calico Stars is unknown. But it will be a miracle if this is set under control.
