History
In 550.M37, the north-western fringe of Segmentum Obscurus was ravaged by the apostate Adeptus Mechanicus cult known as the Apostles of The Blind King - Tech Priests who viewed humanity as an affront to the Machine God. The Apostles uncovered wondrous artefacts lost in the Dark Age of Technology that allowed the creation of supernovae from the hearts of living suns. Constellations were forever changed as the Apostles purged the outer Segmentum Obscurus. War raged for decades, until the Navigator Joyre Macran discovered the palace-warship of the Blind King hidden within a fold of Warpspace. Escaping with this knowledge, Macran guided the Emperor-class Battleship Dominus Astra to the palace's location. The Blind King was killed by the Dominus Astra's lance batteries when the pierce the palace-warship's hull, and without his presience the Apostles are swiftly overcome.
