Emergence of the Cult of the Shattered Sky

A mysterious cult, called the Cult of the Shattered Sky arises all over the Imperial Colonies, believing that the Stormrift was a punishment brought upon by the gods for the empire's hubris. They preach the need for penance and self-sacrifice to appease the gods and restore divine peace. They sought to archive this by capturing non-believers and torturing them until they begged for death. Only then killing their victims.
Governor Alanus Damian sends military units into cities. Making sure that no soldier is stationed their own home city and orders a massive and brutal crack down on anyone suspected to be affiliated with the cult.
