Orphean War

The Orphean War is a military conflict of epic proportion that has recently ravaged the Orpheus Sector. This once powerful Sector Imperialis located at the very border of the Segmentum Tempestus had always been troubled by strange phenomena and events, which were however never linked together as the evidence of Necron activity. Following the awakening of at least a part of this ancient race, labelled the Maynarkh Dynasty by Imperial savants, these Xenos attacked the Orpheus Sector in full force, leading to the cataclismic Battle of Amarah which ended inconclusive for both fractions but nevertheless sealed the fate of the Orpheus Sector. While still ongoing, followig the desastrous losses on Amarah, the Imperium is currently retreating all strategic assets from the Orpheus Sector, hoping to box in and hold the Necrons at bay long enough for a full-fledged Imperial Crusade to be launched. To this day, the Orphean War stands as a scaring exemplar of what might befall the Imperium if the Necron-menace is not quickly identified and dealt with.
