As the war raged, [[Death Guard]] [[Vectorium]]s of the [[2nd Plague Company]] have raced to secure the [[Tri-forge Cluster|Cluster]]'s tank component fabricator-shrines. In doing so, the Death Guard aim to corrupt the shrines with the [[Ferric Blight]] disease. This has led the [[Carrion Brotherhood]] to invade [[Thrios]], where they planted hundreds of [[Miasmic Malignifier]]s to convert auto-factorums, producing [[Leman Russ (Tank)|Leman Russ]] turrets, into biomechanical monstrosities. On [[Septios]], the [[Sons of Glorious Decay]] battled the [[Auric Consuls]], [[Black Pegasi]] and [[Nightshades]] [[Space Marine Chapter]]s for weeks. All so the Sons could capture seven manufactorums, that produced tracks for [[Chimera]]-chassis vehicles.{{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 Tri-forge Cluster was awarded the honor honour 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 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}}
Some Imperial forces in the region managed to hold out against the Chaos invaders, and were eventually reinforced by [[Task Force III]] of [[Indomitus Crusade]] [[Battle Group Tarsus]].{{Fn|2}}
