Changes

The '''Diamor Campaign''' was an engagement of [[Abaddon the Despoiler]]'s [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]]

The horror began when a [[Chaos Space Marine]] armada arrived in the [[Diamor System]]. The Chaos fleet was led by the ''[[Red Honour]]'', flagship of the [[Crimson Slaughter]]. Leading the armada personally was [[Kranon the Relentless]], [[Chaos Lord]] of the Crimson Slaughter. The Crimson Slaughter had arrived in Diamor in search of the planet [[Amethal]], on which was rumored to be a cure for the ceaseless voices that drove the Chaos Space Marines to madness. In addition, Kranon was working at the behest of Abaddon who also desired something on Amethal. With the maddened Kranon distracted and unreliable, the general execution of the invasion ultimately fell on the shoulders of the Chaos Lord [[Xorphas]]. The first attack of the war itself came at the [[Agri-World]] [[Peridos]], where Black Legion ships under Xorphas bombarded the world from positions within an asteroid belt. The strikes had the effect of crippling Imperial food distribution in the region.{{Fn|1a}}

Ultimately, though Imperial forces drove off the Chaos assault the barrier between realities had been weakened on Amelthal to such an extent that it may only be a matter of time before Xorphas' plan succeeded and the Diamor System drowned in a Daemonic tide. Faced with this reality, the Blood Angels called for the aid of the [[Grey Knights]]{{Fn|1c}}
