Meanwhile, [[Abaddon]] was well aware that the Sanctus Wall would pose a major threat if it were completed. Even as Haarken’s fleet moved forward, Abaddon’s agents were already at work to undermine the Imperial effort to solidify the Sanctus Wall alongside cells of [[Alpha Legion]] and [[Word Bearers]]. This led to all-out war at [[Leopolde]] as entire [[Regiment]]s turned traitor and attacked their former allies. Many more Regiments pledged themselves to Chaos in secret and waited for the right opportunity to strike. Many more traitors deliberately left weak points in the defenses for Chaos armies to later exploit, sabotaged supply and communication lines, and even conduct dark rituals. Not all of these actions went unnoticed, and [[Inquisition]] teams were able to round up many of the subversives, many on key locations such as Sangua Terra itself. These Inquisitorial units were organized into the [[Sanctus Entente]] under [[Derelei Melcho]], [[Okal Nusa]], and [[Atuwe Kikiya]] of the [[Ordo Militarum]] as well as [[Bataivah]] of the [[Ordo Hereticus]]. A second such alliance, known as the [[Septagrammaton Sanguis]], included seven Inquisitors from the [[Ordo Hereticus]], [[Ordo Malleus]], [[Ordo Aegis]], [[Ordo Astartes]], [[Ordo Maledictum]], and [[Ordo Scriptorum]].{{Fn|1}}
Thanks to the sacrifice of [[Lord Admiral]] [[Quirin Prisca]]'s fleet during the [[Battle of the Narrow]], the Imperium bought enough time to arm and supply the defensive network before Haarken Worldclaimer's inevitable invasion comes.{{Fn|1}} [[Haarken Worldclaimer]] was able to launch an invasion of Sangua Terra, capturing it in the latest stage of the [[Nachmund Rift War]]. In the aftermath of this catastrophe, the fate of the greater Sanctus Wall remains unresolved.{{Fn|2}}
