→Escalating War
===Escalating War===
The Octarius war is continuing to escalate. In 997.M41 several [[Eldar]] warhosts entered the war, fighting against both Imperial and Ork forces.{{Cite Marker End}} In 990999.M41 many Imperial Worlds were caught in the crossfire as the [[Saim-Hann]] Eldar entered the war, and the [[Raven Guard]], [[White Scars]] and [[Salamanders]] [[Chapter]]s united to defend the embattled planets.{{Cite Marker EndFn|1}} Recent reports indicate that the Tyranid [[Swarmlord]] has joined the assault on the Orks of Octarius.{{Fn|1}}
Whether the Orks or the Tyranids win the war, the victor will emerge stronger than before. Orks from light-years around are flocking to Octarius, and are growing bigger and stronger on their diet of conflict. And every Ork devoured gives more biomass to the growing Tyranid swarm, which is constantly learning and adapting new ways to defeat their foes. Kryptman succeeded in luring Leviathan to the Octarius Empire, but rather than tricking both sides into destroying each other his plan has backfired into starting a series of events that is making the Imperium's enemies stronger.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|4}}
