Sol; for millennia it had been avoided by these ancient ships, these great vessels of a far off warlord, who once called the system home. He who was once a great warrior of humanity; who strove to further the light of his lord and master, His Emperor…
Now, the great warfleets of that far off man, draw nearer to their goal. The Federal Union, in distant space their neighbour, has made overtures towards Mars, and that red world sets memories alight in the blood of the Daemon Emperor. There where the Adeptus Mechanicus once dwelt, there where all the secrets of the Old Imperium might lie; and if not…Well, their enemy dwells near…
Upon the borders of the Chronosian Imperium, the fleets gather; the greatest warrior hosts that the Emperor can summon forth. There, the disease encrusted plague fleets of Lucian, loyal to the festering god, Nurgle. Here, the berserk hordes of the warrior, Cabot, he who worships Khorne, who spills blood and takes skulls in his name. And beyond that, the fleets of Remiel, chosen pleasurelord of Slaanesh, he named as Heir to the Imperium, and High Lord of the Black Inquisition. With him comes the great armies of Gabriel, Lord of Chaos Undivided, named as CorpseLord of Hydran. Yet all of them are eclipsed by the glory of the Daemon Emperor; who languishes aboard the Ecstacy of Slaanesh, his flagship; a Devourer of Worlds.
Worlds have burned at his order, entire civilisations and races drowned in their own blood; their ashes trod beneath his bootheels; his great Lightning Claw caresses the hilt of the Daemon Sword; the Runeblade Lifesbane; who contains, bound within, the souls of countless warriors who thought themselves his equal.
To count the full amount of personnel would take a mortal man decades; to count the ships would take far less time. The entire complement of the Imperium’s war fleet is 3000 ships, readying near the borders; with a further 500 dispatched.
As the gargantuan gothic vessels tore through the fabric of the warp, rending asunder space as they found themselves at the edge of the Sol System, they almost gasped in awe, Countless millennia ago this place had been home; and now, they had returned, to grace the War God with their presence, they would begin their diplomatic overtures; till the moment was ripe to rock their neighbour in War.
