Dark Marches Crusade

The Dark Marches Crusade was but one of a great deal of military campaign launched in the 37th Millennium within the Segmentum Tempestus. Having benefitted from some centuries of respite, known to later historians as the period of ’The Rising Storm’, the armies of the Segmentum launch several interlinked campaigns and crusade in the ultimate goal to secure, strengthen and expand the Imperium’s borders. The Dark Marches Crusade marks the final step of these expansionistic efforts, claiming many worlds in the name of the Emperor of Mankind. Alas, during the following millennia, those world conquered by the Dark Marches Crusade where increasingly lost, the latest case being the Fall of the Orpheus Sector in the still-ongoing Orphean War. With much of its former conquests now lost to the enemy, very little information can be gathered on the subject and in all likelihood, this once great victory will soon be forgotten.
