It was the dawn of the age of the Empress, the age of the Iron Men had ended in fire and now a new lord of Humanity arose. With the declaration‘ I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair!’
Holy Terra had united in her cause aided by the arrival of her Soritas and Astartes followers their origins unclear these women and men had superhuman abilities and weapons generations ahead of anyone else. But finally the planet was united.
Then they began to build a fleet and army to unify the rest of Mankind under the Empress and crush the Xeno’s who threatened beyond the stars. The Empress taught that the jump points between the start were what allowed the terrible curse of the daemons to infect the iron man exposed as they were to Hell. Only by stabilising and purifying each jump point could man safely travel beyond Sol,
This is what started the Great Crusade early. The Empress sensed that the fools governing the rest of humanity in the Sol system had begun to build their damned jump engines, there was no time to build up the Crusade fleet further. Four great Battlebarges of the Astarted and Soritas rose up from Luna to join the Crusade fleet and preparations for war began.
Discussion in the councils on the war strategy was heated. Chancellor Malcador argued for more time to persuade and subvert the other powers Warmistess Kali of the Valorous Heart argued for instant assault on all 4 powers and the use of planetary bombardment to bring them to heel, the Empress vetoed both plans she would not tolerate bombardment of humans or the spread of the jump taint. Finally the Lion El’Jonson leader of the Dark Angels plan was accepted the Vice lords of Venus would fall first and once they were defeated it would be determined what resources would be needed for the others, despite a desperate plea by the the Traffic control and monitoring department to kill all other ships the Lions plan was accepted after all Venus was within Missile range of Holy Terra.
