Thank you to the support of all of those whole helped play test the scenarios with me (John, Will, Anthony, and James your help was awesome).
In the late 37th millennia an Imperial Dauntless class cruiser, the Inquest as well as its full escort were lost to a biological infestation in the Tiamat Sector whilst conducting a mapping and resource priorities survey. What they found was a sector wrought with death worlds and little by way of resources. With the system flanked on both sides by the Eye of Terror and the Storm of the Emperors Wrath the sector seems to have an affinity for the warps psychic energy.
While deep in the double binary system the Inquest and its escorts were invaded by an unknown entity. The ship recorded the incident for almost 136 hours while privy to a series of odd events before all hands of the Inquest and its support ships were devoured by a brood of mutated genestealers. Upon a formal investigation conducted by the Ordos Xenos, it was found that the genestealers responsible for the destruction of the Inquest were a part of a splinter fleet that had become affected by the increased psychic presence of the sector. The previously unknown Tyranid fleet was poised for what could have been a devastating assault through the center of imperial space with unknown potential gifted by the winds of chaos. Time passed and the Imperium prepared for a scourge that never materialized. Reports gave way to rumor and the threat faded away. Eventually, with emergence of hive fleet Kraken, the splinter fleet was believed to have been destroyed.
However during a training mission turned exterminatus on Fenris, as well as through the diligent investigation of an excellent citizen report on Valhalla, two genestealer broods were exposed allowing their home worlds to be expunged of any xeno threat before it manifested. The broods were small and contained no further Tyranid subspecies in close proximity or nearby, and the Ordos Xenos launched a full inquiry into the sector. The emergence of genestealers bearing the markings of a lost horror has conscripted Cadians, Valhallans, other imperial regiments, as well the Space Wolves, Crimson Fists, and White Scars who have vowed their assistance.
With the spread of information and the hurried response of the Imperium other forces become interested in the secrets of the Tiamat Sector. Orks drum up old tales of the “Ugly gene sneakers" while the sector itself seems to be manifesting a horrid appearance as warp storms begin to swell. Upon entering the sector the first Valhallan regiments confirmed Dark Eldar closely perused by a contingent of Harliquins and part of craft world Beil-tan. Chaos cultists have also emerged determined to undermine any progress for the loyalist troops.
As all eyes begin to turn towards this double binary system between two massive warp storms, the question remains. Do the genestealers represent the revival of a hive fleet that has rooted itself in an illusive sector able to wreak havoc on the center of the imperial planets? Are they followed up with what seems to be complicit chaos forces in the area? What is with the the sudden emergence of the Eldar? We are left with many unanswered questions about a sector that appears to have taken an ominous form in preparation for the terrible discoveries yet to be made deep within the sector's core.
