==History==

It was originally among [[Indomitus Crusade Fleet Quartus|Quartus]]' Battle Groups that were still active within [[Imperium Sanctus]]{{Fn|1b}}, while the majority of the Fleet's forces went to defend the [[Choral Engine]] on the [[Imperium Nihilus]] world, [[Malakbael]]{{Fn|1a}}. Despite Quartus' might, though, the [[psychic]] beacon was destroyed by the [[Daemon Primarch]] [[Angron]], which unleashed [[Khorne]]'s [[Murder-Curse]] within Malakbael's [[Malak System]]. However because of the psychic channels the Fleet's Battle Groups shared, even those outside of the System were struck by the [[Warp]] plague. It caused those infected to become servants of the [[Chaos God|Blood God]], who were filled with murderous bloodlust and rage, who fell upon anyone near them. While not all those who were struck by the Murder-Curse were infected, only the Fleet's [[Sisters of Silence]] and [[Custodians]] were immune to the Warp plague. However in a stroke, eighty percent of Jovia's forces were corrupted and began rampaging within Imperium Sanctus. When the Imperium learned of the widespread infection and attacks, Fleet Quartus was declared [[Excommunicate Traitoris]], despite millions of its forces still being uncorrupted and loyal.{{Fn|1b}}
