Campaign Timeline

## Summary

The Screaming Vortex, an ancient warp storm that has raged for eons. Deep inside it, a spec of calm real-space has begun to emerge from the chaos. An oasis is appearing in the turbulence. A small eye-in-the-storm has opened and a star shines inside it: Mammon. Though it is surrounded on all sides by the Vortex, a cunning navigator could find their way to Mammon through the 13th passage, an old trade route through the eddies and rapids of the storm. Though upon arrival travelers would certainly be cut off from all communication and reinforcement, and perhaps even outside of the reach of the Astra Telepathica and the Emperor's guiding light.

Many are already preparing for the journey. Will the system's planets and moons become Astartes outposts? Will the ecclesiarchy's mission fleets calm the system's mad population with their cathedral fortresses? Or will the Adeptus Mechanicus raze the planets for resources to fuel their forges? Mammon is about to witness a goldrush, and to the winner goes the spoils.

But isolation and political rivalries are the least of the dangers facing those who wish to explore and exploit Mammon system. What otherworldly horrors has the Screaming Vortex wrought on the worlds of Mammon? Any records of human colonies in the system are lost in the mists of history. If there are any such populations they are surely corrupted by chaos after their time in the storm. What heretics or daemons might call this system home? What alien eyes have turned their attention to this new untapped resource? What otherworldly horrors are racing to this new speck of real space along with our intrepid imperial explorers? What antediluvian horrors may be already there waiting for them?

Only the bravest among us will make the journey and embark on the Mammon Crusade! Will you be among them?!

## TIMELINE OF EVENTS

### The Storm Breaks

#### 20210822

The Screaming vortex has receded from the Mammon system, and in its place a new storm is brewing around the old star. Across the system new arrivals clash with one another and with the systems ancient and terrifying inhabitants. On the exoplanet of Krakendoom the scout ships of Hive Fleet Tarasque clash with the Space Wolves and the retinue of Inquisitor Theo D'antelles, the Custodes in The Battle of Krakendoom. The fleet is cast loose from the planet, their forces exterminated and their nests burnt.

The Drop on Nova Terra was a disastrous defeat for the Imperial Fists, who were repelled from Nova Terra and fled to Charzip, the moon of IMP-1361, where they hope to find allies in the Skitarii legions that have been establishing a mining outpost there for several months.

The Siege of Killisandra and the burning of the cathedral fortress led to a break-out attempt by the sisters of the Motive Force and Cannoness Katherine Laverra's Order of the Azure Rose at the Slaughter at Antiphone.

The Mechanicus forces of Legion clashed with the resident Necrons in the Encounter at IMP-1361
