==Tempest Era==
In M25 the Golden Age came to a crashing halt. The concurrent warp storms in the galaxy below were producing a torrential surge that washed all the way out to the Hvar cluster to mix with its own nascent warp brought forth by the human presence in the region. The result was disastrous for the region - even if the storms were tepid in comparison to those that raged in the galaxy proper. Hvarian ships were designed to take advantage of the faint and tranquil signature of the warp in the region; they simply could not hack the "waves" that were being thrown their way. Hundreds of worlds were cut off from one another and orbital stations were left adrift to fend for themselves as interstellar navigation became impossible.

On isolated worlds the once manageable problem of AIs going rampant spiraled out of control. To make matters worse psykers began to appear and with them came the denizens of the warp. Death and destruction became common place as worlds fell to anarchy. The population of the entire cluster is estimated to have been cut to a tenth of its peak during this time as societies crumbled. Only the world of Novi Dinarsko - the first colony settled so long ago - survived with what could be called a semblance of civility. This was thanks to the seemingly anti-psychic properties of the alien beacon that hung in its orbit. Novi Dinarsko though was not without its problems: it had long outgrown its own ability to support itself and required imports from near by agricultural worlds.  The crisis resulted in wide spread famine that would take centuries to resolve.
