The '''Wrath of the Chaos Sun''' was a devastating event in 010.[[M37]], taking place shortly after the end of the [[Age of Apostasy]]. The red giant star at the heart of the [[Maxil Beta System]] goes supernova, exploding in an expanding cloud of flames covered in [[Warp]] energy that spreads across nearby systems. The inhabitants of every world for hundreds of light years are exposed to the Warpflame and are either turned into [[Mutant]]s or [[possessed]] by [[Daemon]]s. In response, the [[High Lords of Terra]] order the mobilization of whatever forces are close at hand. [[Grey Knights]], [[Imperial Guard]], [[Space Marine]] [[Chapter]]s, and Orders of the [[Sisters of Battle]] all respond to the call and purge the [[Chaos]] taint. The battle helps to heal the wounds opened by the civil war of the Age of Apostasy.<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
