IC intro: ---Templarian – Void Expanse Border---
A bright blue sun shone in this system, it’s pure light basking the system nicknamed The Home of Light in its rays. Somewhat ironically, the Home of Light had always been the gateway to the Dark. The seemingly endless stretch of nebulae, reaching beyond even the most powerful scanners, was the literal Hell of the Templars. In their religion, Kalism, the Void Expanse is where their Devil, known only as the Dark, resides, tied in chains of Stygium, a black metal which superheats in sunlight, waiting with endless, malicious patience until it is freed, whereupon it will wreak its revenge upon the galaxy. There is a planet in this system, untouched by any sentient being, and there is a very good reason why.
In the centre of this planet lies an engine. A huge engine, built eons ago by some unknown race for some unknown purpose, it has lain dormant since it was discovered over 3000 years ago. It is powered by some unknown force, a dark energy that sends any Psyker the empire sends to it mad, twisting their bodies and minds. The planet has been blockaded since then, no one and nothing allowed nearby.

This, however, is exactly what the engine wants.

Now, the engine finally awakes. Its energies are finally being put to use. Silently, invisibly, a pulse erupts from the engine buried in the planet. Spreading out in all directions, it calls to every living being in tune with the Warp, and to a lesser extent, every AI, to come to the planet.

And in the dark of the Void, something answered.

As it continues its spread across the universe, announcing the coming holocaust to all, silently or otherwise, and the Something mobilizes for war.

OOC: Essentially, this engine is powered by Chaos energies, a la 40K. It sends out a beacon to it's oringal creators, a race of aliens which look frightningly alike to the paintings of the Dark, which come out of the Expanse all guns a' blazing, and the Templar's fight back. It's essentially a system wide invasion by some really advanced, unknown race. I'm hoping for some allies, but also a few of the more Chaotic of you to side with the agressors. After all, wheres the fun in genocide when you do it to yourself? Anyone interested?

Oh, and before anyone asks it's sort of a Chaos Undivided thing, no particular deity.

OOC: Sounds pretty good. I noted in another thread that there had been a major spacial disturbance in the Ustio System. Perhaps I could attribute that to this, and come in as an ally? Oh, did you mean for this to be the OOC thread or the IC thread?

This is the OOC and Interest thread. No point starting it without anybody involved.

Also, that sounds good. Be warned, I won't be GM'ing with the aliens, but I'm aiming to make them really powerful, with the mandatory obvious weakness :tongue:

Most people ask for an IC intro when I post an interest thread, so I jumped ahead.
