All authority on Bheta-Decima has since collapsed. Its ruling [[Tech-Priest]]s and [[Governor]] have fled with their most valuable assets, battling rebels and pirates the entire way. Dogmatic schisms and opportunism broke out during the collapse, further adding to the anarchy. [[Beastmen]], [[Genestealer Cultist]]s of the [[Cult of the Chittering Verse]], and [[Mutant]]s of the [[Stichkin Gloomlings]] have all risen as major threats. Much of the fighting is focused around the artificial toxic sea of Hypersump IV and its wharf cities.{{Fn|3}}
The Genestealer Cultists have since drawn the notice of the [[Tyranids|Star-Children]], who they believe will soon arrive to save them. A small splinter of [[Hive Fleet Leviathan]] is currently en route to Bheta-Decima, but its [[Bio-Ship]]s have been detected and engaged by the [[Farsail of Thryk Kindred]] of the [[Leagues of Votann]]'s [[Trans-Hyperian Alliance]]. The [[Squat]]s seek to trap and harvest the splinter fleet, as the Kin of the Leagues of Votann have discovered they can render bio-ship matter into rare and exotic compounds. Scout vessels were deployed ahead of the Tyranids to identify prey worlds, but the [[Quicksilver Class Scout Ship]] ''[[Vektrônn's Eye]]'' was shot down over Bheta-Decima by the Genestealer Cultists. The ship has crashed into the central hold of the [[Genestealer Patriarch]], dubbed Deeprealm. In a desperate panic, the Chittering Verse has decended upon the wreckage of the Votann Ship and are battling with its Kin.{{Fn|3}}
