'''Dawn of War: Soultorm''' is the third expansion in the series of RTS (Real Time Strategy) games in the [[Warhammer 40000]] universe, and was launched in 2008. Whereas the campaign of [[Dawn of War: Dark Crusade|Dark Crusade]] was conquering a single planet, Soulstorm's campaign is the conquest of several planets and moons, basically a single star system, [[Kaurava]]. While there were four planets and several moons to capture, the total number of sectors to actually take was not much greater than that of Dark Crusade, where a sector took up about the size of a country, in Soulstorm they're about the same size of as continents.
Two more factions were introduced:
* the [[Sisters of Battle]]
* the [[Dark Eldar]]
==Storyline==
The planets of the [[Kaurava]] system are colonized [[Imperial]] worlds. A [[warp storm]] envelops the system, however, drawing the force of [[Chaos]] to the worlds ripe for slaughter. On one of the planets, Necrons begin to awaken, drawing their ancient enemies to them, the [[Eldar]]. The [[252nd Kauravan Conservators]], an [[Imperial Guard]] [[regiment]] assigned to defend the system, is hard-pressed by the arrival of these enemies, as well as a [[Dark Eldar]] incursion.
Along with these armies, comes the [[Blood Ravens]] [[Space Marine]] chapter, pursuing the lost knowledge of their chapter. The [[Fervent Heart]] [[Sisters of Battle]] arrive as well, to cleanse the system of heresy and xenos. [[Gorgutz]], an Ork Warboss, arrives in the Kaurava system, adding the local [[Orks]] to his [[Waaagh!]] and determined to kill for the sake of killing.
