	The Great Rift, also known as '''Cicatrix Maledictum''' (which more or less means the Cursed Scar), Gork's Grin, Mouth's Ruin, and the Dathedian among others, is a massive chain of Warp-storms that has torn realspace in half after the destruction of [[Cadia]] and its pylons by the [[Warmaster]] of [[Chaos]], [[Abaddon \| Abaddon the Despoiler]].

This latter half usually gets the name Imperium Nihilus (or the Dark Imperium), both because it's been darkened by the Great Rift and because it's becoming an increasingly bad place to live in, due to Warp shenanigans and xeno attacks.

	During the last couple of centuries, the tides of the [[Warp]] became more and more erratic and violent, making space travel more and more dangerous. It's been widely believed that Abaddon the Despoiler's Black Crusades had the secret objective to destroy a series of ancient structures made by the [[Necrons]] that kept the Warp from overflowing into the materium. During the [[13th Black Crusade]] and its final assault on Cadia, Chaos forces managed to destroy the last big series of pylons, the ones that prevented the growth of the [[Eye of Terror]]. The destruction of those last pylons, alongside the rest of the planet, started a chain reaction that formed multiple warpstorms throughout the galaxy. Abaddon's original plan was to, in theory, cause a warpstorm big enough in Holy Terra's direction to either destroy the planet and the Emperor of Mankind or to invade with all the forces Chaos could muster, assuring the destruction of the Imperium. However, these massive warpstorms started joining with each other and instead of growing into the direction of the Segmentum Solar, it went into the [[Maelstrom]], consumed the Galactic Core, (Warp 1: Supermassive Black Hole:0)then moved into a straight line dividing the galaxy neatly in two. Failbaddon would pulling his topknot out if only he had any arms to do it with.

	Despite supposedly destroying the Cadian pylons, Abaddon still managed to get hold of some from somewhere, either from the wreckage or dug up somewhere else. He managed to actually transport them in giant grand cruisers to various worlds in the [[Segmentum]] Solar, originally part of a plan to becalm the warp-space around [[Terra]] and isolate [[Roboute Guilliman]] while the [[High Lords of Terra]] [[fail\|tried]] to depose him; this was only thwarted because the [[Sisters of Silence]] and the [[Adeptus Custodes]] performed a rogue operation and exposed the plot before it was completed. [[Dante]] is then assigned by Guilliman to be the regent of the Dark Imperium.
