Editing The War of The Beast (section)

==Galaxy-Spanning Threat==
The WAAAGH! Beast threatened to engulf the whole galaxy: the [[Imperial Guard|Guard]] was bogged down on many fronts, and the [[Space Marine]] [[Space Marine Chapter|chapters]] were mostly tied down trying to fight the invading Orks. The [[Ultramarines]] had two of their worlds invaded and had been forced to bring in successor reinforcements. Many chapters were annihilated as they struggled to fend off an enemy the likes of which they hadn't ever faced. Worst of all was the fact that the Orks were DEVELOPING technology, with things like [[Tractor Weapons|gravitational whips]] and massive teleporters capable of teleporting whole armadas in the blink of an eye.

The Imperium couldn't help but lose ground as '''Lord High Admiral Lansung''' - leader of the [[Imperial Navy]] and main topdog of the High Lords - focused more on deploying his fleets to gain favours from other High Lords and protect his own interests rather than ferrying the [[Imperial Guard]] and fighting the Ork fleets. The rest of the Lords were about as incompetent, barring one man: '''Drakan Vangorich''', the infamous Grand Master of [[Officio Assassinorum|Assassins]] who would later stage [[The Beheading]]. The man was a patriot and tried his best to get the Imperials to move their damn fat asses. The payoff took a while, but it was noticeable.
