The Nachmund Rift War is an ongoing conflict being waged by the Imperium in the Nachmund Sub-Sector.

Closely connected to the War of Beasts and War of Nightmares on Vigilus, while the Fortress World itself continues to remain largely in Imperial hands the greater Nachmund Gauntlet finds itself besieged by the Forces of Chaos.

At Sangua Terra, the Imperials sought to organize a defensive network collectively known as the Sanctus Wall. This consisted of systems that had previously served as Indomitus Crusade supply hubs which were quickly fortified in their own right. However, the stalemate would soon be broken, must to the shock of both sides. Abaddon’s trusted lieutenant Haarken Worldclaimer arrived with a Black Legion army.

Lord Admiral Prisca’s force soon arrived at the Grakiliod Narrow, a location that Haarken’s fleet could not bypass.

Despite heavy losses, Prisca’s fleet maintained enough momentum to break through Worldclaimer’s formation and burst through it on the other side. As the ships broke through, they peeled off left and right, unleashing waves of attack craft as they attacked the rear of the Chaos fleet as it was changing position. After many hours of fighting, Haarken had reorganized his fleet in a jaw-like formation ready to close on the Imperials. With his final order, hundreds of ships bore down on the Imperial armada. The exhausted loyalist Space Marines onboard stood little chance and were overwhelmed. Despite a brave final stand, the Imperial fleet was eventually annihilated.

Only a fraction of the Imperial fleet survived the battle to limp back to the Sanctus Wall. Prisca herself was thought dead, and her plan had achieved questionable results.

The Imperial commanders at the Sanctus Wall were disturbed by reports of the scale of the incoming Chaos armada. Meanwhile, the Inquisition continued to battle cults and hidden agents of Chaos within the worlds of the Sanctus Wall itself. Indeed, Sangua Terra, linchpin of the Sanctus Wall, is currently under mass invasion by Daemons.

  2. 34:05 I mean, there are ways to cheat the books, like only taking sure things. It's really easy to be a Undefeated Champion if your a Heavy Weight boxer fighting Feather Weights.

    I got this from The Wire, in season 4 the cops are able to claim Record low murder rates. Gang violence is at a all time low. Shame about all the MISSING PERSON REPORTS. SURE ARE A LOT OF MISSING PEOPLE! BUT IF THERE AIN'T A BODY, THERE ISN'T A MURDER SO THEY'RE JUST MISSING PEOPLE. and then they find the bodies inside a bunch of abandoned housing and The Police Are FUCKED at the beginning of season 5.

  3. Baal is currently under construction. It’s rebuilding the damage from the hive fleet along with building to be the hub of the imperium on that side of the rift so while the hive fleet devastated the planet, it is recovering slowly but it’s surviving.

  4. Aside from the fantastical reasons, leaving the galactic plane would require an enormous amount of energy. Think of how much is required to get a rocket outside of Earth’s atmosphere and then imagine that on the scale of a galaxy. The Milky Way and other galaxies are shaped the way they are because of their weight in the fabric of space and you would have to overcome that to go ā€œunder or overā€ anything within the galactic plane. The ships of the any faction besides Tyranids may not even be capable of leaving

  5. The fleet size being weird reminds me of Halo 2s opening, with Hood saying "the fleet that destroyed Reach was 50 times this size", which when he said it was wrong because Fall of Reach said it was about 100 ships, but because he said it they retconned it to be like, 500 instead
