→The Eye of Terror
Within the confines of the hellish zone of the Galaxy known as the [[Eye of Terror]], the banished Chaos Space Marines, along with their exiled allies and slaves, have created their own Imperium of Chaos. In the most Chaos-saturated region of the galaxy, few in the ten thousand years of their exile have escaped mutation in some form.
Within the Eye, the legions fight among themselves for gene-seed, resources, slaves, or for the greater glory of the Chaos Gods. The legions however are far more driven by their hatred of the Imperium than by internecine rivalry. From the Eye , the forces of Chaos Marines emerge to exact their vengeance upon the Imperium, continuing "the long war" begun ten thousand years ago.<sup>6, 7</sup>
Chaos incursions range from the small scale but brutal raids which can occur anywhere in the galaxy, to the apocalyptic [[Black Crusade]]s led by the Warmaster of Chaos, [[Ezekyle Abaddon|Abaddon the Despoiler]], when the forces of Chaos in all its forms unite to batter the fortress worlds close to the Eye.
