Editing M43 (section)

===Overview===
: After centuries, of virtual inactivity, all four of the Chaos Gods perked up when they felt a bit of the Warp recede and empty and boil and contract. The Warp is weird. A hole opened up on the great human planet of Terra. Oh what an opportunity. And to put a nasty daemonic looking cherry on top of evil cake, the tear was in the center of the corpse emperor's castle. One would be sane-insane not seize upon such a grand gift. All four of them aligned tomorrow with the intention of betraying the others yesterday. The Warp is weird. Daemonettes poured through the tear alongside Bloodletters. Such an alliance should have rent asunder any force arrayed against it. But it was not to be. While a tear in the Warp and Materium can be the size of a krak grenade and the size of a planet at the same time, a Webway is fairly stable. So it funneled Chaos down. The Imperium, in time, matched Chaos for sheer diversity of forces. By the climactic end of the war, the guards of the palace included Custodes, Companions, Arbites, Mechanicus forces of all kinds, nearly the whole of the Grey Knights Chapter, the resident Imperial Fists, and a myriad of Inquisitors, their retinues, and equally large diversity of other Astartes contingents.

: Quickly remembering lessons learned in the Golden Rift War, the defenders of Terra reestablished the old defenses. These were quickly overrun by the tide of daemons. This is what the Golden Rift War could’ve been. The Imperial Fists quickly tasked themselves with setting up a defensive system that would hold for a long time. Longer than the one in the previous war had. It was readily apparent that the Golden Rift War was but a minor incursion by Chaos; this was a full blown invasion. The defenses would have to hold out for decades perhaps even centuries. With that in mind they established three lines of defense: the Eternity line, which was the previous defense line, the Annapurna, which was the edge of the Inner Palace, and the Imperator line which was a flexible but highly armored line draw roughly midline between the Inner and Outer Palace walls.
