Changes

The '''Agrippina Agripinaa Sector''' is located close to the [[Eye of Terror]]. It is a major producer of materials (especially weapons and ammunition) for [[Cadia]] and is a linchpin in the overall defence of the [[Cadian Gate]]. In comparison to other sectors it is a wealthy and prosperous area and produces many regiments for the [[Imperial Guard]].¹

At the start of the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]], vast numbers of plague hulks were reported. Many were searched and destroyed by Space Marines but ultimately some escaped their attention. Some of these came to spread disease and pestilence throughout the Agrippina Agripinaa sector. In conjunction with the Belis Corona sector, they were the first to see the rise of the [[plague zombie]]s created by the spread of the plague, now named the [[Curse of Unbelief]]. Cults preaching that the Imperium as a whole had failed and forsaken the teachings of the Emperor grew throughout the sector. Imperial rule on Malin's Reach and Lelithar broke down as the plague had crippled any hopes of restraining the fanatics. Self-mutilation became normal and mobs attacked any naval facilities or general symbol of the Imperium and mob rule replaced that of the [[Administratum]].²

After a combat with the Chaos ship [[Darkblood]] which saw it crippled, Imperial forces retreated in the face of overwhelming numbers to Aurent. Also, a decisive battle which saw a small number of Imperial ships hold back a Chaos fleet at the Ilthirium Belt allowed the [[Battlefleet AgrippinaAgripinaa]] to arrive and allow the remaining ships to retreat. This however left the Agrippina Agripinaa sector open to invasion and the planets of this and the Belis Corona subsector soon became nightmarish hells of death and pestilence. Amistel Majoris became the site of a major conflict, Plague Marines of the [[Death Guard]] slaughtered the defence population until the [[Drookien Fen Guard]] reinforced their numbers. Colonel [[Pertaj]] orchestrated a masterful defensive plan however he died of the plague before the plans could be put into action. He had devised a cunning series of trenches which would lead their enemy into traps and ambushes. Eventually the [[Howling Griffons]] and the [[Legio Astorum]] arrived to man the defences, impervious as they were to the plague due to being sealed off from it. The fighting devolved into brutal trench warfare.²

[[Harlequins]] were rumoured to be sighted on Agripinaa and Scelus but there is also report of [[Eldar]] attacking an [[Ultramarines Honour Guard]], although whether they were Eldar or [[Dark Eldar]] is unknown. One man in the Agrippina Agripinaa sector, Regu Hane, was raised to Sainthood having single handedly driving away a force of [[Khorne]] daemons.

Tzeentchian cults grow in number across the Agrippina Agripinaa sector, possibly to redirect attention away from [[Ahriman]]'s attack on the [[webway]]. [[Erebus]] lures Eldar and Ultramarines to Malin's Reach only for war to break out between the two while he and his [[Word Bearers]] wage war elsewhere.

[[Lord Inquisitor]] [[Coteaz]] arrives in the Agrippina Agripinaa sector armed with many holds of [[cyclonic torpedoes]] just as the strongest bastions of Imperial power begin to fail. Also, the edges of [[warp storm]] [[Baphomael]] reach the edges of Agrapinaa making warp travel dangerous. Kharn continues his rampage across Tabor. [[Inquisitor]] Mathius has been tracking Chaos Magus [[Batezu]] for some time throughout the sector.

The Agrippina Agripinaa sector is gripped by the forces of the most might plagues as the Death Guard are unleashed.

Finally, as the fighting reaches its climax, reports show that the majority of the Agrippina Agripinaa sector is a blasted wasteland. The Imperial Navy controls the space around the planets, however many of them have fallen to Chaos, the [[Agri Worlds]] of Yayor, Ulthor and Dentor and Hive Worlds of Albitern, Amistel and Tabor may yet cause the downfall of the other systems and planets. Typhus has claimed the Ulthor system as his own, mutating the planets within to [[Daemon World]]s, giving the forces of Chaos a real stronghold in the [[materium]]. The current state of the Agripinaa sector is desperate as all but the Agripinaa system are renegade or destroyed.
