Changes

The '''Unthinkable War''' began in [[M42]] when the [[Imperium]] discovered that a [[Cult of the Pauper Prince|Pauper Prince]] [[Genestealer Cult]] was active beneath the [[Imperial Palace]].{{Fn|1}}

It was only by chance that the genestealer cult was discovered on Terra. An underhive stimm-deal gone sour triggered a violent gang war between rival groups in the depths of the [[Arcology Veracitum Neglis]] in Terra's northern polar region. When local [[Arbites]] forces responded, their quarry retreated into the long-abandoned mag-transit network dug into its foundations. However, both sides were shocked when provoked Genestealer Cultists poured from the subterranean holds, slaughtering the trespassers. A single [[Arbitrator]] squad managed to escape aboard a [[Repressor]] and stay alive long enough to deliver word of their plight before being surrounded and slaughtered. The transmission eventually found its way to the [[Inquisition]]'s [[Ordo Xenos]], which under [[Lord Inquisitor]] [[Ichabael Vasmire]] was moving before even the Arbites [[Judge]]s had time to assess the threat and respond.{{Fn|1}}

As Carvellan and his warriors moved through the seemingly abandoned tunnels, they knew that the enemy was, in fact, all around them. Ignoring the lowest cultist scum and only focusing on their target, they advanced deeper and deeper towards the lair of the patriarch himself. As the imperials advanced, Patriarch Begeter ordered [[Genestealer Magus|Magus]] [[Thrieve]] and [[Genestealer Primus|Primus]] [[Ghorikan]] to meet the foes. The two led waves of [[Genestealer Neophyte|neophyte cultist]]s against the Talons of the Emperor.[[{{Fn|1}} At the same time, the [[reductus saboteur]] [[Mersea Thrayk]] was undertaking her own mission and waited in ambush. As the Talons destroyed waves of the cultists, they also took casualties due to the tight spaces of the battle. As losses mounted, Carvellan did not hesitate and rushed toward the shadowed archway that was surely the patriarch's lair, Allarus Custodians and [[Witchseeker]]s behind him. It was then that they fell into the ambush of Mersea Thrayk, who detonated her explosive charges and created a devastating avalanche.{{Fn|1}}
