Extensive preparations are made before actually attacking an imperial target, including using spies and corruption to weaken an enemy's resolve. Not only is an enemy attacked from every angle, but every attack is often coordinated to achieve the most destructive results. Many actions are planned to utilise and support local cultist activity. These cults go to considerable effort to spread propaganda, perform sabotage, and carry out acts of unrest and rebellion, providing a distraction and weakening the enemy before the Alpha Legion strikes.<sup>1, 9</sup> Furthermore, the Legion has been known to ally themselves with anti-imperial forces including other Traitor Legions and [[xenos]].<sup>1</sup> On worlds far away from the Eye of Terror, [[Daemon]]s are less relied upon since they cannot remain stable for long enough to be useful. If the Alpha Legion succeeds in securing the belief of a local Chaos cult they are summoned to add to the variety of their attacks.<sup>1, 9</sup>
