[[Image:Black Templars - Thetus banner.jpg|right|thumb|Banner of the Hive Thetus Crusade]]
On the planet Neveria II a small-but-dangerous cult of [[heretic]]s had te to be removed. An investigation by an agent of the [[Ordo Hereticus]] and a covert strike by the [[Deathwatch]] discovered the influence behind the cult: a [[broodlord]] had managed to infiltrate and infect the minds of a large group of inhabitants of Hive Thetus. This combined with years of crossbreeding had produced physical and psychic abominations to Mankind.
It became obvious that Hive Thetus was becoming a staging ground for a dreaded [[Tyranid]] vanguard force. The Xenos influence had to be removed and the Hive had to be cleansed. The [[Black Templars]] called to the challenge of returning the [[Emperor]]'s Light to Hive Thetus with righteous zeal.
