Changes

By the 5th year of the Indomitus Crusade the impetus of the earlier struggle had bled away and many Battle Groups now found themselves mired in expanding warzones. With each new threat that was extinguished, several more took their place. The slow reconquest was not universal, but nonetheless large areas of the Imperium in the galactic south were now outright safe is not safeguarded by the presence of Guilliman's armada. [[Battle Group Thetera]] of [[Fleet Octus]] was able to cross the [[Veiled Region]] and relieve [[Bakka]]. By this point, the [[Nephilim Sector]] and the [[Necron]] [[Pariah Nexus]] had become a major problem for the Imperium and subsequently became a major area of fighting. Several other major war zones erupted, such as the [[Plague Wars]] in [[Ultramar]], the [[Word Bearers]] uprisings in [[Segmentum Solar]], increased [[Ork]] activity in [[Segmentum Tempestus]], the [[Tau Fifth Sphere of Expansion]], the [[Charadon Campaign]], and the [[Nachmund Rift War]]. While the feared [[Chaos]] assault on Terra never came, the [[Traitor Legion]]s became more active and unified then ever, often with [[Daemon Primarch]]s at their head. Besides the usual Xenos and Chaos threats, within Imperum Imperium Nihilus Humanity faced renewed attacks by more esoteric enemies such as the [[Hrud]] and [[Enslaver]]s. There were even reports of breakout attempts by the infamous [[Barghesi]].{{Fn|25}}
