The '''Unthinkable War''' began in [[M42]], when the [[Imperium]] discovered that a [[Cult of the Pauper Prince|Pauper Prince]] [[Genestealer Cult]], was active beneath the [[Imperial Palace]].{{Fn|1}}
 
==History==
In order It was only by chance that the Genestealer Cult was discovered on Terra. An underhive stimm-deal gone sour triggered a violent gang war between rival groups in the depths of the [[Arcology Veracitum Neglis]] in Terra's northern polar region. When local [[Arbites]] forces responded, their quarry retreated into the long-abandoned mag-transit network dug into its foundations. However both sides were shocked when provoked Genestealer Cultists poured from the subterranean holds, slaughtering the trespassers. A single [[Arbitrator]] squad managed to escape aboard a [[Repressor]] and stay alive long enough to stop deliver word of their plight before being surrounded and slaughtered. The transmission eventually found its way to the [[Inquisition]]'s [[Ordo Xenos]], which under [[Lord Inquisitor]] [[Ichabael Vasmire]] was moving before even the Arbites [[Judge]]s had time to assess the threatand respond.{{Fn|1}} Coordinated by Lord Inquisitor Vasmire, an regiments of [[Adeptus CustodesInquisitorial Stormtrooper]]s moved into action via [[Valkyrie]]s alongside [[Enforcer]] s and the [[Convent Prioris]] of the [[Sisters of SilenceBattle]] strike force. Most notable however, led Vasmire was notified of coming aid by the [[Adeptus Custodes]] under [[Blade Champion]] [[Aristothes Carvellan]]. Carvellan informed Vasmire that the Custodes would strike for the [[Genestealer Patriarch]] at the heart of the infestation. Even the [[Officio Assassinorum]] considered sending aid. In preparation for the hunt the Wyvern's Gate Spaceport was closed, sending billions of pilgrims, traders, and workers into holding patterns that might trap them for years to come. Meanwhile, the Cult of the Pauper Princes prepared for the attack they knew was coming. Their uprising was still a long ways away, and their infiltration of Terra had barely begun. Worse still for Patriarch [[Begetor]], some nebulous psychic force was sent to destroy working against its will and dulling its abilities. However the Pauper Princes were not alone in this, the [[Wyrms of the Ur-Tendril]] and [[Genestealer Cult|CultThe Shadowed]]were also present on the Throneworld.{{Fn|1}} Imperial hunting parties soon penetrated deep into the Pauper Princes tunnels and sealed them off with controlled explosions, cutting off the Patriarch's escape as layers of barricades, stab-lights, and infantry locked into place about the arcologies day by day. They One-by-one the outer arcologies fell, their cells being annihilated or scattered. Soon enough only Arcology Veracitum Neglis - the lair of the patriarch himself - remained unconquered. It was then that the Inquisition-led forces halted their advance, and in doing so offered the Patriarch a chance to escape. However little did the Genestealer Cultists known that Blade Champion Carvellan had finally arrived to seek out its quarry. With him were also chargedthe [[Allarus Custodes]] of [[Octavrus Borlean]], though[[Vexilor]] [[Tassimon Avarnius]], with capturing and a band of the [[Custodian Guard]] under [[Jauh Ghoras]]. Accompany the Custodes were a force of [[Cult Sisters of the Pauper Prince|Pauper PrinceSilence]] under [[Sister Superior]]'s [[PatriarchHelencia Thetus]].{{Fn|21}} As Carvellan and his warriors moved throughout the seemingly abandoned tunnels, they knew that the enemy was in fact all around them. Ignoring the lowest Cultist scum and only focusing on their target, they advanced deeper and deeper towards the lair of the Patriarch himself. As the Imperials advanced, Patriarch Begetor ordered [[Genestealer Magus|Magus]] [[Thrieve]] and [[BegetorGenestealer Primus|Primus]] [[Ghorikan]] to meet the foes. The two led waves of [[Genestealer Neophyte|Neophyte Cultist]]s against the Talons of the Emperor.[[{{Fn|31}}At the same time, alivethe [[Reductus Saboteur]] [[Mersea Thrayk]] was undertaking her own mission and waited in ambush. As the Talons decimated wave of the Cultists, they also took casualties due to the tight spaces of the battle. As losses mounted, so Carvellan did not hesitate and rushed towards the shadowed archway that was surely the Patriarch's lair, the Allarus Custodians and [[XenosWitchseeker]] could be studieds behind him. It was then that they fell into the ambush of Mersea Thrayk, who detonated her explosive charges and created a devastating avalanche.{{Fn|21}}
