Separated from the bulk of the Imperium by the Great Rift, the Sectorum Ludus Bellorum is a region of space where it is rare to find anything new. The best connected factions may have heard tell of such things as Primaris Space Marines and the return of Primarchs, but only as whispered rumor and idle speculation. The few remaining bastions of Imperial rule have all but given up on ever being reinforced, but every so often, a glimmer of hope finds its way into the Sectorum.
Tau surveillance drones uncovered footage of what appears to be a group of Space Marines in a new kind of armour battling cultists of the Birds of Paradise Slaanesh Cult. Some of these images found their way into the hands of a local Rogue Trader and from there made their way slowly across the Sectorum.
Under attack by foul cultists, these unknown marines make a stand at a supply dump.
The livery on the Marines would seem to indicate that they belong to the semi-heretical Space Sharks Chapter.
These Marines are armed with weapons never seen in the Sectorum before.
The mysterious Space Sharks are known for appearing from nowhere to aid the servants of the Emperor, could this be an example of that legend, or something more? Has someone found a way to cross the Great Rift and what does this mean for the future of the Sectorum? Only time will tell.
