==Overview==
Currently a bastion of [[Chaos]], several other threats have also set their eyes on the Reach. The [[Tyranid]] [[Hive Fleet]] [[Dagon]] is encroaching into the region from the northeast. In the south, the [[Tau]] have colonized colonised several worlds. Since 777th 777.[[M41]] the [[Imperium]] has been pursuing the [[Achilus Crusade]], also known as the "Dead Crusade". The troops and fleets involved in the Crusade are from the [[Segmentum Obscurus]] and use a warp gate to travel to the area, which would otherwise take years of travel in the warp Warp to surmount any decent offensive.{{Fn|1b}}
