The Chaagrut Sector
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS

Sector Overview
The Age of the Dark Imperium, also known as the Era Indomitus, is the current period of Imperial history, beginning after the destruction of Cadia in the Thirteenth Black Crusade and the formation of the Great Rift. During this period we find ourselves in the Chaagrut Sector where war has broken out dangerously close to Holy Terra. Chains of catastrophic Warp Rifts have isolated the sector while depositing enemies of the Imperium originating from across time and space.
A Tau fleet, fleeing from unknown battlefields, has arrived in the Sector, trailing two ravenous Tyranid Hive Fleets. The Hive Fleet Raksasha immediately began a horrific campaign of planetary infestation and consumption in the agri-world cluster known as The Vines. Genestealer cults rose to meet them, using industrial fertilizers and waste to help create bio titans of unfathomable size before being consumed in turn.
In response the Order of the Twice-Blessed Towers has mobilized from the hives of their Shrine World, bringing with them the combined might of the Imperial Guard Regiment Skaði's Thralls and the warhound hosts of the Knights of the Autumn Court. The guerilla warfare of the Thralls and the heavy reconnaissance of the Knights of the Autumn Court are directed by Order Palatines who set up devastating shock and awe attacks that leave the surviving Tyranids reeling. Despite their victories the outnumbered Imperial Forces are unable to slow the progress of Hive Fleet Raksasha, who absorbs its losses with distressing ease.
A Shield Hose of the Adeptus Custodes arrive on the Shrine World of Skaði XVIII, to the joy and awe of the Sector's citizens. Tensions rise however as it becomes apparent the Custodes are there to fortify and cleanse the shrine world ahead of possible attack. While the Shield Host is successful in rooting out heretics and mutants, their activities draw troops and supplies that could be used at the front.
But Fleet Raksasha is not the only threat the Chaagrut sector faces. Hive Fleet Nihiloor is smaller, but potentially even more dangerous. Worlds ravaged by Nihiloor are left as graveyards filled with poisonous gas and corroded metal. Worse still are rumors that Nihiloor captures prisoners, infecting them with worms that carve their way to a victim's brain and take control. These enthralled prisoners are then released, traveling to safe worlds to sabotage Imperial defenses.
The tyranid invasion unfortunately comes during the 70 year cycle of the Tide, a chaos warband that emerges from the ruins of the now extinct space marine chapter headquarters on Skaði VI. Skaði's Thralls, the planet guard highly prized for their combat prowess is forced to retain a large portion of their forces to contend with the threat.
And there are rumors the greenskins and eldar are on the move.....
