The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' was a major battle fought by the [[Imperium]]. Some time after the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]] ==Overview==The invasion began after the creation of the [[Great Rift]], during the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]], when the [[Chaos God]] [[Tzeentch]] grew jealous of his Brother [[Nurgle]]'s newly acquired domain of the [[Scourge Stars]]. While Tzeentch began to underman Nurgle's control of the Scourge Stars, the Chaos God also wished to corrupt a realm of space for itself and selected the [[Imperium]]'s [[Stygius Sector]] to be its domain. This was due to the fact that Stygius Sector was still awash with [[Warp Storm]]s created by the Great Rift's opening, and the light of the [[Astronomicon]] could no longer be seen there; all of which, made the Sector an inviting target for the Chaos God's forces.{{Fn|1}}
The opening phase of the invasion saw [[Cult]] uprisings begin across a score of the the Sector's isolated worlds and the actions of the [[Changeling]] added to the Sector's troubles, as the [[Daemon]] traveled from world to world spreading havoc and confusion. However, it was only when the Stygius Sector's worlds were seething with rebellion that the true invasion began, as Tzeentch's [[Daemon]]s and [[Chaos Space Marine]]s were unleashed upon the Sector. With the [[Daemon Primarch]] [[Magnus]] and his [[Thousand Sons]], along with the [[Lord of Change]] [[M'Kachen]] and its [[Great Changehost]], among Tzeentch's forces, three of the Stygius Sector's [[System]]s were swiftly taken, with only the Imperium world [[Mordian]] being able to resist the Chaos God's invasion. Shortly afterwards though, the light of the Astronomicon, began to miraculously reach the Sector and its beleaguered defenders immediately sent out a request for aid.{{Fn|1}}
