One of Sek's "masterpieces" was the [[Addolorata Incident]], when an Imperial fleet in retreat to friendly lines was fired upon by the over-anxious gun crews of the [[star fort]]s they were attempting to reach, who had mistaken them for a disguised Chaos force. Before the confusion was sorted out, the Imperial fleet was all but destroyed, and the star forts badly mauled, allowing Sek's forces to sweep in and capture both with minimal losses.{{Fn|3x}}
Although the situation in the Khan Group was stabilized, Warmaster Macaroth remained wary of some new move by Sek, who Macaroth could not afford to underestimate. This is speculated to be one of the reasons why Macaroth re-tasked [[Lord Militant]] [[Cybon]] and [[Marshal_(Imperial_Guard)|Marshal]] [[Blackwood]] with guarding the rear flank of the Crusade, an apparently menial assignment which could have become vitally important if Sek launched a new offensive from an unexpected direction.{{Fn|3x}}
Eventually, however, Sek grew tired of his subordinate role and began building a new army in secret. It was on the [[Agri World]] [[Gereon]] that Sek began the training of the [[Sons of Sek]], an army that, like the Blood Pact, was trained, organized, and equipped to the same degree as the [[Imperial Guard]], but loyal only to Sek.{{Fn|2}} Word of this reached the Crusade force, and some [[Imperial Tactician]]s speculated that the Crusade might help itself by provoking a civil war between the Gaur and Sek, although the last thing the Imperial forces wanted was for Sek to emerge victorious as the new Archon.{{Fn|3x}}
