*In 890.[[M41]], a [[Necron]] [[Tombship]] entered orbit over Chogoris and began a focused bombardment of an unpopulated area on the planet's surface for an unknown reason. The White Scares [[Battle Barge]] ''Jaghatai's Pride'' pierces the ships shields as the Defense Laser of [[Quan Zhou]] destroyed the ship in a single blast.{{Fn|3b}}
*In 990999.[[M41]], Chogoris was among the systems besieged by a [[Red Corsair]] fleet under [[Huron Blackheart]]. The White Scars were forced to withdraw from the [[Third War for Armageddon]] and [[Second Agrellan Campaign]] to deal with the threat.{{Fn|2}}
In the aftermath of [[Cadia]]'s [[Great Rift|destruction]], the nearby [[Maelstrom]] has grown in size and power and has begun affecting {{PAGENAME}} itself. Now the world's grasslands burn from the [[Warp]]'s power and its beasts run wild, or turn to monstrous, deformed things. Worse still, the White Scars have not been able to protect the world's population from the predations of the Red Corsairs, who have begun building ziggurats from bodies of {{PAGENAME}}' dead. The Chapter does not know why the Red Corsairs are building these mountains of dead flesh, but are sure the ziggurats are part of some ritual dedicated to the [[Chaos Gods]], that is close to completion.{{Fn|4}}
