Osetalan Crusade
The Osetalan Crusade is an ongoing Crusade of the Imperium, begun in [DATE] to reclaim the Oestalan Sector in the galaxy's West from Xenos and Heretics. Overall command of the Crusade force has been given to Lord General Julius Hector Grant IV by order of the High Lords of Terra, while General Marta Wu Fei and High Admiral Lucius Amadeus were appointed as the Lord General's sub-commanders. The Crusade force is predominantly made up of Imperial Guard and Navy units, with a token presence from the Adeptus Astartes, Adepta Sororitas and and Adeptus Mechanicus.
Overview
For over a thousand years the most western fringe of the Imperium has been barred to travel. Cloaked by a violent warp storm, it has long since fallen out of step with the broader Imperial institutions. But the Warp Storms have receded, and the Oestalan Sector has been revealed to the Galaxy again. Upon discovering that the Sector had resurfaced, the High Lords of Terra decided to commission a Crusade to reclaim it for the Golden Throne, to bring the human worlds back into the fold, and to eliminate the Xenos and Heretics that inhabit it.
During the Crusade's planning stages, a standard Imperial Brief was sent out en mass by the Administratum to Imperial Worlds which would be required to provide military forces or resources to the Crusade. However, a small clerical error resulted in the Crusade being called the Osetalan rather than the correct Oestalan Crusade. While this mistake was noticed some 3.4 years later and a correctly spelled Brief re-issued, the damage was already done. Some of the contacted Imperial worlds proceeded to send their Crusade tithe to the Osetalan Sector to the galaxy's Far North, reducing the total size of the Crusade force by approximately half. Furthermore, while High Admiral Lucius Amadeus was appointed as the Crusade's Imperial Navy Commander and Grant's second sub-commander, he and his own second-in-command, Vice Admiral Tunirius Junnic Yaz never arrived at the Crusade staging ground with their respective fleets. Thus Rear Admiral Krieger Tremaine Bartonometh Murrey Sanguinistix the Fifth. has had to take up the duties of sub-commander of the Crusade.
