The Empire of Humans had long prospered throughout the galaxy. Millions of worlds were colonized and then grew and prospered. All under the watchful eye of the Emperor. Any alien system that resisted was crushed. Its occupants vanquished or enslaved.
But then the forces of chaos grew and the armies of the orcs attacked. Now, there was constant war. Many worlds were lost to the Empire. Into this maelstrom came the most awful of foes from intra galactic space. It took them thousands of years to reach Humanity and they came in waves, which had been repulsed. Then, there had been no contact for a hundred years.
At first, the Emperor merely sensed that among the trillions of humans, a few were missing. It was of little concern. But then the reports finally reached the capital planet. Whole worlds that were one thriving human settlements containing millions of souls had been stripped of all life. They had returned.
His best armies were positioned to stop incursions from Chaos. It was time to raise new armies from worlds that he had been let concentration on their own development till now. Uisneach was to be one of those worlds.
