Because of the sudden apperance of a Warpstorm, this is the place where nine armies clashed with each other in the PC Game Soulstorm. Three armies where already on the planet: The Imperial Guard, the system's supposed rulers, on Kaurava I under newly appointed Govenor-General Vance Stubbs, the feral Ork tribes of Kaurava II led by Warboss Gorgutz, and the Necrons, slumbering under the sands of Kaurava III, led by the Necron Lord of Kaurava. First, the Alpha Legion arrived in the name of Chaos under Firaeveus Carron to Kaurava IV. It is a mystery as to how they arrived: Did the Warpstorm bring them or did they bring the Warpstorm? Second, a Blood Raven Space Marine force led by Force Commander Indrick Boreale established a base on Kaurava II to end the danger posed by xenos and heretics alike. The Tau claimed one of the moons of Kaurava II and built there a mighty gun, the Ar'Ka Cannon by the order of Shas'O Or'es'Ka. From under the sands of Kaurava III, the Necrons arose, perhaps due to the effects of the Warpstorm. In quick response, long unused Webway Gates flickered to life and brought the Eldar, led by Farseer Caerys, to fight against their deathless enemies. From the shadows of an Ancient Gate the Dark Eldar appeared, looking for souls and bounty, with Archon Tahril as their leader. Last, but certainly not least, the Order of Sacred Rose. a sect of the Sisters of Battle, arrived and established a base on Kaurava I. They arrived to cleanse the system of every last xeno and heretic. The system contains four planets:
The fate of the system depends on the player: it can be returned to the Imperium, become the new border of the Tau Empire, become the black heart of the Necron genocide, become the base of the greatest WAAAGH! ever, or be twisted in the image of Chaos.
