Soon after the war fleet jumped into the [[warp]] from the base on [[Clax]], it was destroyed by a gigantic [[Warp Storm]]. The last [[astropath]] reported white arcs of light tearing the ships apart, literally, as well as the soldiers on board. The Clax system has been cut off since, by the [[Storm of the Emperor's Wrath]].{{Cite this}}
With the death of a vast fleet, the whole of [[Segmentum Obscurus]] burst into rebellion. The [[Cardinal Palace]]s were stormed and the beautiful hangings were destroyed. No one knew who Thor was, and many suspected him to be a [[daemon|daemonic]] ic entity, but he was just a man, born in a Dimmamar [[Schola Progenium]] habitat. Thor claimed also to have had visions from the Emperor and warned that humanity was falling. He had an eloquence and charisma that none could match or understand and could reach into the hearts and minds of the people.{{Cite this}}
Quickly, thousands travelled to hear Thor speak and preach and went away again, spreading the message themselves. [[Governor]] [[Gaius Welkonnen]] of Dimmamar was so impressed that he placed the army of Dimmamar at Thor's command. Anarchy followed. Most of the Segmentum Obscurus fell and many of Vandire's spies were sought out and driven away, although he still knew that Thor's army had grown to at least five million. He also knew it was slowly making its way to Terra.{{Cite this}}
