Changes

 The '''War for the Tri-forge Cluster''' began, when the [[Thousand Sons]] invaded the [[Imperium]]-held [[Tri-forge Cluster]] in [[M42]]. The [[Death Guard]] would later invade the Cluster as well, on the orders of the [[Daemon Primarch]] [[Mortarion]].{{Fn|1}}

When the [[Thousand Sons]] invaded, [[Psykers]] ran rampant throughout the [[Tri-forge Cluster]] and the Traitors began raising [[Chaos Cults]]. These Cults aided them in their battle to seize control of the Cluster from the [[Imperium]], but soon the [[Death Guard]] invaded as well. This occurred after the [[Daemon Primarch]] [[Mortarion]] ordered the Death Guard to attack the [[Forge World]] [[Metalica]] and [[Vectorium]]s from the [[2nd Plague Company|2nd]] and [[4th Plague Company|4th ]] [[Plague Companies]] to seize the Tri-forge Cluster. When they discovered the Thousand Sons had already invaded the Cluster, the Death Guard relished the opportunity presented to them. This was their chance to demonstrate [[Nurgle]]'s superiority to [[Tzeentch]] and the Death Guard began spreading plagues and raising Cults of their own. Both invading factions now believe the tri-lobe Cluster has numerical significance to their [[Chaos God]] and each thinks it is their right to claim the Cluster's nine worlds.{{Fn|1}}

Meanwhile, many of the [[4th Plague Company]]'s [[Vectorium]]s fought the forces of [[Tzeentch]] for possession of the [[Tri-forge Cluster|Cluster]]'s large number of [[Psykers]]. On [[Oktos]], the [[Missionaries of Putridity]] engaged in ferocious psychic battles with rogue Tzeentchian [[Rogue Psyker|psykers]] throbbing with [[Warp]] energy. The [[Congregation of the Blessed Foul]] battles nearly destroyed the world [[Seixios]], after they unleashed vast tides of sludge to quench city-sized Tzeentchian firestorms. The [[Disciples of Pustulence]], though, made a staggering discovery of three hundred [[Predator]] tanks on [[Novios]]. This stockpile had accumulated after the the Tri-forge Cluster was awarded the honor to produce one Predator a year for the [[Chorus of Eltain]] [[Chapter]]. The Cluster had not been informed, however, that the Chapter had been destroyed in the [[Abyssal Crusade]], which occurred in [[M37]]. Because of this, the Cluster had simply continued to produce the Chorus of Eltain's Predators without question. Their misktake mistake was the Death Guard's gain, though, and the Traitors began corrupting the Predators for their own use. They are unaware, however, that hundreds more of the completed Predators still lay undiscovered.{{Fn|1}}
