The early times of the 39th Millennium was known as The Redemption Crusades, where heroes rose and pushed back the darkness that threatened the Imperium. The period between the late 39th and early 40th Millennium in the Calico Colonies was known as the Times of Straining where after a rather peaceful time of prosperity and expansion, there began what one would call a series of proxy conflicts against xeno species and occasional rouge fleets that turned rapidly into outright warfare against the Colonies.
The Black Locks took part in multiple battles on the western parts of the Calico Stars as it was there were the battles were the fiercest as Ork Waaaghs!! and Chaos Warbands were hitting hard at the fringe sectors controlled by both Port Royalty and Fort Parquet. While these areas were being attacked frontally, Eldar and Dark Eldar raiders used the opportunity to start attacking unprotected colonies controlled by Saint Juan on its borders. As if that was not enough, rebellions and heresies erupted out of nowhere and took its bloody toil.

Even the local Eldar became more active. Discovered in at the beginning of the 37th Millennium (and causing many trade ships to disappear), Craftworld Ill-Zanath which was the home of exceptionally bold Corsairs and the world-ship’s leader, Lord Ramman, became more active than usually as they appeared in multiple sectors sowing havoc among both the Calico Colonies and their enemies. Having a Craftworld known for its fleets of Corsairs being suddenly active is not a good sign.

After a series of gruelling campaigns while aiding the Colonial Regiments, the situation with the raids has stabilized, yet the affected regions of space are still being attacked to this day by either aliens or heretics that seek to claim the resource rich planets of the Calico Colonies. Luckily they are not frequent after they were resolved, but they would grow in strength when time passed. When it came to heresies and rebellions, the Ordo Hereticus started to ‘cooperate’ extensively with many of the more lenient Governors so that none such incident would occur anymore.

What was the reason for that many enemies to come to the Calico Colonies, apart of the abundance of resources that were available, was unknown. As if something was luring them to the region.
