→History
When the ''[[Gallowdark]]'' emerged in Bheta-Decima's system, the greedy ruling [[Magos|Magi]] used a gigantic [[Graviton Cannon]] to pull the [[Space Hulk]] into their orbit in order to plunder it of their riches. However during the process the ''Gallowdark'' broke apart, raining debris across Bheta-Decima and decimating it. In the aftermath of the catastrophe anarchy and violence reigned, and the planet regressed into a crime-ridden apocalypse dominated by the black market. Devastated [[PDF]] and [[Enforcer]] units were quickly overwhelmed. Various foes erupted from the ruins of the ''Gallowdark'' including [[Orks]], [[Beastmen]], and mechanical horrors. Mechanicum Hunter-Clades clashed with their rival and squads of [[Traitor Guardsmen]] created their own petty empires. All of this only further contributed to the chaos.{{Fn|1}}
Meanwhile, the ambitious Magos [[Bartolomus Virellan]] managed to capture the [[Eldar]] [[Farseer]] [[Torc Dystari]] from the ruins of the ''Gallowdark'' for experimentation. This created further disaster, as it attracted a search party from [[Biel-Tan]] seeking to rescue the prisoner. After Dystari's location was discovered, the Farseer [[Di'sar Caman]] organized a retribution and rescue operation. They deployed a [[Striking Scorpions]] cadre from the [[Onyx Claw Shrine]] via a stealth corvette from the [[Eldar Corsair]] warband known as the [[Blades of Khaine]]. They soon came into conflict with a [[Raven Guard]] [[Kill-Team]] under the command of [[Space Marine Sergeant|Shadow Sergeant]] [[Kyrin TovaecTorvaec]], which had been deployed to Bheta-Decima in search of pre-Imperial technology once utilized by [[Corax]].{{Fn|2}}
